Vela Lesson Programs
We put great emphasis on a safe, proper, and efficient teaching method—professional courses taught by certified kite instructors.
We teach mostly private lessons, but also group lessons of not more than two students per instructor. Thanks to these private classes or small groups, we can assure customized instruction and quality teaching during the lessons.
The wind is side shore to side-offshore from the right. During the winter, the winds are dominated by fronts moving through the northern Caribbean, giving cycles of strong wind days followed by a period of lighter conditions. The trade winds return in March for more consistent conditions that last until October. The summer offers the best wind conditions but smaller waves than winter and spring. On most days, the reef protects the beach from larger waves.
