Kitesurfing Holidays in Aruba, Dutch Antilles

Best month for Kitesurfing

Kitesurfing in Aruba is Perfect for Independent kiter with storage Perfect for Learn To Kitesurf Perfect for Improver (not riding upwind) Perfect for Independent kiter Perfect for Foiling

With constant trade winds, together with flat and shallow turquoise waters, Aruba has become a world renowned kite destination for beginners and pros alike. Are you ready to take on this exhilarating challenge?

The main kiting area in Aruba is on the north-western coast. Some areas are more sheltered, which allows for a variety of areas to suit all abilities. Close to the beach is perfect for beginners, as it is shallow and the most sheltered spot.

Further out is an intermediates area, where you will also find a sandbar. This tends to be where lessons take place as the wind is stronger and the water is waist deep. There is a shallow reef around here, however it is clearly marked out, and the staff at our partner kitesurf centre will point out any areas to avoid.

The Blue Highway is the furthest kiting area from the beach and the wind is strong and steady here. The conditions are more bump 'n' jump as the water is exposed to the full force of the wind. This area is huge, and you are away from the crowds and learners. There are areas here where you can stand, though most of the Blue Highway is deep water, and only for more experienced kiters.

hour

Details

Description :

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.

You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts! Here you will be taught how to properly fly an inflatable kitesurfing kite, how to control your kite and what to do if you crash it in the water. On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.

You will then move on to the board lessons. What does that mean? Well it is time to get up on the board now. You will practice using the kite to generate pull and you will learn how to get the kite to pull you without the board first. The idea is to get used to how the kite behaves when asked to pull you. Once confident doing this you will learn how to put the board on your feet and after that, how to get up on the board. Most people will manage to do a few metres on the board by the end of the course.

Windsurf foil is a true revolution for windsurfing, offering a whole new dimension to the sport. Are you also tempted to try foil windsurfing and be able to ride full speed above the water with only 7-10 knots of wind? You are not the only one!

Windfoiling is relatively easy to learn, especially if you already know how to windsurf. You may find the first runs difficult, as you need to get used to controlling the foil with small body movements. After a while, you will finally understand the influence of your body weight and find the right position on your board. The time needed to get flying is usually 2 to 4 hours, and you should manage to have a relaxed flight after only 4 to 5 sessions.

Moreover, windfoiling is far less physical than funboarding. As you are flying above the sea, there is no friction on the water’s surface, and the hydrodynamic drag is minimal. The propulsive force needed when sailing above the water is thus much lower than in regular windsurfing. In other words, you will need smaller sails for the same wind conditions, and you will not be physically tired after a session. This makes windfoiling suitable for everybody, regardless of age or gender.

The key in managing your first runs in the air is to be light on your feet, understand how to position your body and use your body weight to control the foil.

When you are foiling, your body is upright on the board, as there is very little traction generated by the sail. This enables you to literally stand above the foil, and control the height with your feet and body weight. Move your body backward and press on the back foot to lift the nose of the board and get higher. On the contrary, move your body forward and press with front foot to go down.

Windfoiling is the perfect weapon where there is not enough consistent wind for traditional short boards. Windsurfing full speed in 8-10 knot conditions with small sails is no longer a dream. This is because you just need enough wind to pull you up on the foil. You will then generate enough apparent wind to increase your speed up to the foil cruising speed, which is usually about 20 knots.

While 8 knots is a real target, it becomes very technical. When learning, we would recommend starting with a wind range, between 12-15 knots and a relative small sail (5 or 6 m2). That way you will easily experience the lift given by the foil, and the rig will be light and easy to manoeuver.
