Wind is extremely gusty with wind offshore, it goes from 30 knt to watching your kite stall. If you get far from shore have little bit of fun wind is slightly better but then you spend the entire session trying to go upwind to get back on shore. This spot is better if you do windsurf. 1 extra star just for beautiful crystal clear water. Boca Grandi spot on south of the island, much better and is worth the 40 mins drive.
In general, people were polite and professional. However, we are unhappy with the quality of education and the balance of it.
As a couple that did six hours of education, we didn't feel like we progressed very much. Additionally, since we were both training on one kite, we felt like one of us was always standing around. It felt like a waste of time for one person. I think, it might've been better had we signed up individually for semi private lessons and then gotten our own instructor.
There were other students, that had likely signed up for semi private lessons, but had their own kite an instructor and I think they probably did better.
At the end of it, after spending $600, felt like it was a waste.
Additionally, since we had canceled one session we had to ask for a refund. Though they gave us a refund, one of the hundred dollar bills they returned us was fake.
It was pretty embarrassing for us to go and ask them to give us a real hundred dollar bill, especially as some of the instructors of laughed at us and they accused us of giving them fake money. Eventually we went to the casino and they corrected the error and gave us the real money. However, it was pretty disappointing to have almost received a fake hundred dollar refund and also be accused of giving them fake money
Great operation. Carlos was a patient and knowledgeable instructor. The price was fair. I would recommend to anyone.
Excellent beach for Kitesurfing, clean sandy bottom, no rocks, navigate around boats and occasional pelican, flat sandy bottom and offshore winds, good staff
Best operation in Aruba. Armando is chill and an hour means 90 mins. Which is great. No rush. Great service. 5 stars
Great place to learn kytesurf in Aruba
First let me say that everyone in Aruba is very nice.
Angie the owner of the school is very accommodating . I am giving only 3 stars because their equipment is old. (The shoes they gave me where old had holes in them ) the kite needed constant air cause it had a leak.
I had 3 different instructors with 3 different way of teaching I didnot like that at all.
Jerman the instructor was great
If you going to use them make sure that you have the same instructor thru out your lessons.
If you can pay as you go do that. Don't pay the whole amount up front. I ended leaving the last lesson early because the third instructor had a whole new way and wanted me to do thing the the second instructor told me never to do.
So have fun.
I recommend. It's the best Aruba Kitesurfing School. I took a class with them! They are a professional team affordable and fun! I had a great time here.
