About Us
Making Kiteboarders and Adventurers Since 1999
Born out of a lifelong passion for water sports, XL KITES started in 1999 and has been perfecting the art of teaching kiteboarding ever since. With years of experience, we give the best kiteboard lessons in the business. We are a professional full-time school and shop in continuous operation since the beginning of kiteboarding. We are dedicated to your riding safely and effectively. From your first minutes on a trainer kite to those amazing seconds of your first ride, we make sure you are learning safe effective techniques.
Our beach location is perfect for learning. We have shallow water, smooth wind, and a huge uncrowded bay. Right across from our excellent teaching area are the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. The gorgeous clear waters of the Gulf are amazing for your first wave rides.
