FOUR PLACES TO KITE
HOME LAGOON
Right in front of our kiteboarding center you can work on your kite skills in this flat-water lagoon. Out of the hammock onto your board within a minute.
During low tide the infamous sandbars appear in the middle of the bay, right in front and around Isla Taborcillo. Enjoy a kite safari with us, on water flatter than any butter.
Join us for our downwinder along the lagoons and mangroves for more flat water fun. The pickup is waiting there for us with a few cold drinks.
We organize kite trips to John Wayne Island in the middle of the bay of Punta Chame. It is home to an abandoned resort but perfect to kite around and enjoy the flat water.
