Where you learn

Courses start in Bo'ao, where flat-water lagoons make learning easier. When Bo'ao has no wind, we take you to whichever spot has it: Wenchang, Haikou, Sanya, Dongfang. See the best time to kitesurf in Hainan.

Riders who want to become fully independent can continue with Advanced coaching or book the 5-Day Intensive instead.
