Costa Rica Kite Surfing Programme

On this programme you will combine learning or improving your Spanish with a beginner’s kitesurfing course. Whether you wish to use this programme as a platform to take up kitesurfing or as a starting point to learning Spanish, it is a great opportunity to learn and experience both.

The Kite Surfing Course

Designed mainly for novice kite surfers, the programme starts with a 3-day beginner course, where you are taught the required skills to kitesurf independently and skilfully, with safety for yourself and others as your priority.

You will learn how to set-up, control and steer the kite, adhering to the strict standards set by the Kite surfing school. After this, you will have a further 7 one-hour lessons, to fine-tune and advance your overall kitesurfing skills.

Kite School Certification
At the end of the 3-day beginner course, you will be rewarded with the Kite School’s Kite boarding card. This is not a recognised qualification, however, it testifies the level you have reached and will permit you to hire kites and kitesurf independently worldwide.

Spanish Language and Culture Lessons

Our language school in San Jose provides a unique Spanish language experience, as emphasis is made on participants understanding the culture, as well as learning the language. Fun cultural activities will be included, such as free cooking lessons, Latin dance lessons and Latin American song classes. The classes consider Spanish as a whole and as well as there being an emphasis on speaking abilities, they also take into account grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, pragmatic use and cultural understanding.
