BLUE DREAM KITESURFING SCHOOL is the first kiteboarding school in Central America, born in 2000, providing all the services a kiter deserve: We are the only kite operation in all Central America that is open all year around (except the months of September and October).

Our instructors can take a video and record the voice of the student. It is easier to review your lessons after you finish it. Amazing results when you are training with recorded video while your instructor gives the real time feedback. This additional service is $30 per session and include recording and editing

Once the student is ready to practice alone in the water we use the Bb talking radio communication for a safer and faster way of learning

Students NEED to bring the following:

  • water shoes (booties) to walk comfortably in and out the water and protect your feet from shells or little stones,
  • sun glasses with bungee
  • short wetsuit just in January, February and March (during these months water can be cooler due to the strong winds)
  • hat with bungee
  • high protection water proof sun block
  • long sleeve lycra

Eventually we have some of these items for sale in our Resort but we might don’t have all the sizes

PACKAGES are considered only by doing 3h consecutively and they have to be paid up front before the beginning of the lessons

The instructors will help students set realistic goals and achieve them depending on the level, using radio helmet communication when needed.

Foilboard Kiteboarding (also known as “Foiling” or “Foil kiting”) is quickly growing in popularity because it is incredibly fun. Without a doubt the main reason to foilboard is the adrenaline rush of flying over the surface of the water. There is no noise, no chop, and just no resistance that you are used to while you kiteboard. Foilboarding is truly addictive

Lessons fee: $45 per hour (minimum 2 hours) + foil board rental ($15 for an hour or $25 for all day).

Required ability: To maximize your time on the water, you have to be a self-sufficient, confident rider that can stay easily upwind and gybe. You also must have the will to start at the beginning again, because learning to foil is like learning to kite all over. But, like learning to kite, the rewards of learning to foil are incredible.

Goals of the lesson: The goal of Foilboard Lesson is to take riders who have never touched a foil and have them leave a self-sufficient foilboarder. At the completion of your lesson, you will be able to safely get in the water, body drag out to deep enough water, ride back and forth, and the return to the beach. You will experience the rush of not just riding on the water, but above it! (Please note that it generally takes about 3/4 hours of lessons to feel comfortable on a foil board)
