I have taken kiteboarding lessons in other parts of the world and learnt the basics, but couldn't get over the beginner's "hump". Two hours with Jessica Winkler at Kite Beach, Progreso, Yucatan solved all that - I am now riding both ways, up-wind and down-wind, and did my first real transition under her watchful eye last week!

Progress is a great location for so many day trips, to see the ruins, caves, and to get into the city. We didn't kite but the wind was good every day for it. Jessica has a wonderful home on the beach, that is a easy walk into town. Everyone we met was friendly and some went out of their way... More

My son and I had a great time kiteboarding and exploring with Jessica in Progresso. Jessica was great as we explored the beaches and the area. It's quite an interesting place and off the beaten path. More

This area of Mexico had everything from ruins to fabulous kite beaches with friendly people. Plenty to see on days when there wasn't enough wind to kite (which was only 1 day). Jessica was so helpful with planning our excursions and her kite lessons were focused and fun. I would go back for sure. Thanks again! More
