Air Padre Intermediate Riding Camp is intended for kiters that are confident in their ability to ride at a beginner level (in others words, they can go out, have a good time, and come back to where they started in most conditions). Now you want a chance to try new things in a fun environment with other riders while under the supervision and expert instruction of our professional coaches. With radio helmets and boat support we will explore the possibilities of kiteboarding, including powerful carving turns, jumping, toe-side riding, smooth direction changes and more, all while moving downwind as a group through some of the best riding terrain in the world.
Air Padre ADVANCED CAMP is for intermediate riders who are confident riding in all wind conditions, can send jumps at will, and would like to add more advanced maneuvers to their bag of tricks. The advanced kiteboarding camp costs $1099 for 12 hours of instruction.
Each day, the students will meet at Air Padre Kiteboarding at 9:00am for a discussion of goals for the session, and a brief seminar from our coaches about techniques and strategies for achieving those goals, utilizing the best teaching advise and tools in the sport including instructional video review and riding simulation. Every CAMP is unique in some way. Keep in mind that our coaches will be able to work individually with each student to concentrate on their needs and specific goals. All camps have no more than two (2) students to every instructor, and kite time is shared evenly between the 2 students throughout the 12 hour camp.
Kiteboarding camps meets at Air Padre Kiteboarding at 9:00am. Camps are a long day of hard riding out on the water, so plan accordingly and bring water (maybe red bull), snacks, sun protection and towel.
APK CAMPS are very open to accommodating individual students' personal riding goals, anything you want to work on we can help you with. With the assistance of radio helmets and boat support our pro coaches can talk you into and through whatever you want to learn next!
