      Fantastic experience! Another hobby we are hooked on!
      Fun, fun, fun! Marc was an excellent instructor. Chilled, precise, easy to follow his directions and made it fun all the way. He has us hooked and we will be back! Only suggestion: if you are two people and have the time, book two separate 2hr private lessons. Same price as the 3hr bring a friend which only gives you 1.5 hrs shared time p.p.

      Kit boarding lesson
      Mark was a fantastic instructor. He was very patient and did an excellent job explaining how to do everything and most importantly what I was doing wrong. I highly recommend the lesson and in particular Mark as an instructor. It was a great experience. I’d live to try it again!!

      Mangrove Tour in Turks
      "Mark from Denmark was so knowledgeable of the mangroves and so nice! He towed us out from The marina ...9 paddle boards and one kayak by jet ski! That was fun! Then we toured the mangroves and saw lemon sharks, barracuda, turtles and more! Such a fun and unique educational experience! Highly recommend!!

      Great Experience
      This is a great operation. I've kited before, but not for 4 years or so ... was looking for a quick refresh, not a start back at square one. Booking was super easy, really friendly staff on the beach help find a time that worked, and listened to what I hoped to do. Alan is a really great coach, and helped me progress to where I felt I wanted to be. My only problem was my own body, my legs just gave out after an hour and a half! I'll be doing some strength training before next time. will definitely repeat with Kite Provo, thanks!

      The Mangrove Island Turtle Tour - Great Experience!
      Our experience with Kite Provo was awesome! We participated in a kayak/paddle board eco tour of the Mangroves in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Mark and Antek were amazing - friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and patient. The tour was one of our favorite experiences during our visit to the islands, and we highly recommend Kite Provo for a fun and educational experience in Turks!

      KiteProvo - Best Kiteboard lessons, hands down
      Thank you KiteProvo!!! I took lessons with KiteProvo a few years ago that got me riding independently. This time I was back for kite foiling lessons. Alan was amazing and in just a couple of lessons had me foiling left and right, upwind and downwind!! So amazing. KiteProvo has the best instructors and all the right equipment to get you up and riding fast.

      Wonderful EcoTour of Mangrove Kay
      We took the Eco tour of Mangrove Kay with KiteProvo. I can't recommend it enough. It was a beautiful, serene paddle through the mangroves with our guide, Antic who pointed out all the sea life and shared his wealth of knowledge. Such a wonderful time. Thanks, KiteProvo!

      Great Instructors and great kiting!
      I was a mostly self taught kiter and was struggling to reach independence. A friend told me about Kite Provo and Long Bay. Was everything I expected and more. Instructors were really good. Long bay is THE place to learn IMO. And Kite Provo team are really great. Highly recommend the whole package.

      A lot of fun to learn
      I did a 5 hour package . The first day was 2 hours independent Instruction which was great . After 25 min on beach setting up you get a jet ski ride out far from land but still chest deep water which is so awesome in itself . I got a lot of feedback and assistance the first day to fly the kite , relaunch it with assist and then trial of getting up ( assist with kite ) which I did a few times but couldn’t stay up. The next day the instructor stayed mostly on the jet ski. I was taken even further out and practiced flying the kite and get pulled around as I couldn’t quite touch which was alot of fun. I tried to get on the board myself and control the kite which I couldn’t . I let the instructor know it wasn’t going to work . He helped me a few times . I figured out that I could get on the board and then launch the kite myself with many failed attempts but some good ones. I achieved one full ride up for a bit . I would suggest that the instructor not use the jet ski until the student can get up themselves. It’s very difficult to hear instruction when they are not beside you. I will say I did learn how to launch the kite and untangle the kite myself by the end and could even get up by myself unconventionally . I definitely would want to take more lessons. It’s the perfect place to learn. I had to leave the next day. I’ll have to return for more lessons !!! I think if I had more assistance in the water the second day I would have had more successful rides. TCI is beautiful !!! We will be back

      Beyond all expectations!!!!
      I had four sessions this week with Alan, and I can not express how incredible the experience was. He surpassed ever expectation I had and took so much time planning and coordinating the instructions around what weather windows we had this week. He made me feel as if I was his only student all week, which I know was far from the truth. I am already planning my next trip. Thank you so very much, it was an experience I will never forget.

      Stop overthinking and book KiteProvo!
      Great teachers, all of them. Great balance of fun and skill-building. Very caring people; they will work with you to meet your goals, needs, dreams etc. including scheduling. Gorgeous setting, perfect for this sport. By the way, I was surprised to find that Kiteboarding is NOT a strength sport and is not very dangerous. It's surprisingly accessible for all ages. 10/10 would recommend!

      Fun Time Learning Something New
      Wing boarding was a blast! I've always been interested in kiteboarding, but never really wanted to invest the time in learning on vacation. On this year's trip to Turks, I was looking around and saw Wing Boarding as an alternative at Kite Provo. It boasts that it's easier to get going and actually enjoy some rides in your first lesson. Given that, I was excited to try it. The experience was great! I had a lot of fun out there and my instructor, Allen, was really good. He had great tips for me after each ride and attempt. I got several fun rides in and really enjoyed getting to learn something new. I'll also say I got one heck of a workout - my legs and upper body were feeling it afterwards, but it was well worth it. I highly recommend checking out wing boarding with Kite Provo. I'll be doing it again next time I'm in Turks and probably anywhere else that offers it.

      Kite Provo Kiteboarding School is GREAT
      We had Jay as the instructor for my 15 year old daughter and myself and we had a great time and learned a lot. We had never done kite boarding before today and we learned enough basic controls of the kite, how to get it out of the water when we crashed it into the water and started to get up on the board. Jay was very patient even when I did not do what he said, my daughter listened so she was his favorite. If we have time we will probably do another lesson. I would highly recommend using the Kite Provo Kiteboarding school. Update: We went back to Turks and Caicos this summer and had Alan as our instructor and he was great, just refreshed us on the skills we learned last year and moved us forward. We had a great time and I do not know how to say this any better but Kite Provo Kiteboarding School is GREAT.

    Can’t stress enough about how professional they are. They made sure we (wife and I) were comfortable before we moved on to the next part of the lesson. They also take safety very important so you or others won’t get hurt if a mistake is made. I also loved the attitude by all Chris’s workers, was fun and Pleasant to be around.

    I highly recommend you taking time to do 10-15 hr total lessons as this will get you to a point where you will have more fun and able to ride with more knowledge, but any of them is good to try.

    Others could just push you to get up on your board, but Chris will take the time to show you why, and how so you will know what to do when you get up on board to enjoy your time.

    Hope you enjoy your time trying a very exciting sport.

    I loved taking kiteboarding lessons thru Kite Provo! The thought of kiteboarding scared me at first, but Chris made sure take it slow with me. He baby stepped me thru the process, with visuals on the whiteboard, demonstrating with a bar attached to a tree, showing me himself, then putting me in charge of my own kite. He was loaded with lots of positive reinforcement to help me grow confidence in each situation.

    My husband also took lessons with Kite Provo, his instructor Marius was awesome as well. He had a lot of knowledge and even gave me a couple pointers, even though I wasn’t his student.

    All of the staff that I met, Jerry, JR, and Kristen, were super friendly and helpful. Such a great team of people. I highly recommend lessons thru them!

    What a remarkable operation. If you want to learn to kite, stop the search and come to Kite Provo. The location provides consistent wind and comforting shallow water with sandy bottom. Gear is top notch including jet ski service, and wireless head sets. That is all nice, however what makes the business exceptional is their people. From the fist inquiry to being confident on the water these people are professional and know the definition of service. My instructor was JR. Kind, intuitive, and a great communicator. 10 stars!

    DO NOT BOOK ON TA! We booked the fast-track class on TA and the day of the lesson we received an email from Kite Provo saying they didn't have room in the class and that the booking system with TA wasn't up to date. They offered us another class a few days later, which only a few of us could still make. Then the morning of the second booked class, they messaged saying that there wasn't wind and thus we couldn't attend the lesson. However, I was on the beach just an hour later and there was lot of wind, so that clearly wasn't the issue. I don't know if they just have problems with booking the right number of people for lessons or if something else was going on, but I was very disappointed by our experience (or lack there of).

    Kristen, we understand your frustration and would just like to comment on a few things. We organize kiteboarding lessons around the low tide. Tide moves every day so we calculate the exact times of our lessons almost one year out and put all this into our online booking platform on our website. This takes hundreds of hours but serves our customers to show the exact times. Third party software like Trip Advisor and Viator will not integrate with a different time every day. We did reach out to you via Trip Advisor as we are not given your email address. In regards to wind, we do need 12mph to teach a kiteboarding lesson. It is common that someone says, it feels windy when it is blowing like 8mph, when it is still actually not enough. In regards to other lessons, etc. Again back to the tides, an advanced student can go out and kite in higher tides but a beginner cannot. I hope this helps to clarify things. We care very much about the experience of our students and accept nothing but the best. Part of that is scheduling at low tide, which moves every day. See our booking calendars on our website for the exact times.

    I had 5 two-hour lessons with the Kite Provo team in early December 2021 as a beginner kite boarder. Kite boarding can have a steep learning curve, especially for older guys like me. With their excellent teaching (and a lot of patience), I got up during the 4th session, and look forward to moving beyond beginner stage. I booked my lessons directly with them through their site.

    Here is the thank you note I sent: Dear Chris, Kristen, SJ, Mawi, Astro, and Jerry (and everyone at Kite Provo): Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job helping me struggle through being a beginner kiteboarder. I am so impressed by the quality of your teaching, your patience, kindness, and care in making sure things get done right even with the inevitable chaos all around. I very much look forward to trying to go to the next level as soon as I can.

    4 of us were blessed to have kiteboarding lessons with Chris. Our two 17-year-olds and ourselves were ready to conquer, but it's not so easy. However, Chris was a great instructor. It doesn't matter how many times you fly in the sky and screw it up, he will always continue to support you. The best part, he is from my part of the world and moved to where my husband is from later. I felt Chris was common ground for the competition to conquer the kiteboard.
    Great Times!

    My instructor was awesome. I had some prior experience with a trainer kite, so we skipped that step and went straight to the larger kite. My instructor was very patient and methodical with his steps of teaching. He gave me all of the tips I needed to get up on the board. I still have some more practicing to do with the larger kite, but my instructor was so great that I feel like I got several lessons all into one lesson. Definitely would recommend these guys. I am 53 years old and was nervous about doing it, but this was well worth it. I now feel hooked and am anxious to get back out there.

    Great for beginners! Excellent instructor (named SJ) for 3 of us. She moved the fast track class (3 hours) along so that we each got on the board a few times in the last hour (a lot to learn that was all enjoyable before that!). Location was perfect with low tide, warm water, ability to walk out into the water & stay together.

    Had a great day with Mario, who made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. The lesson was broken down into bite-sized steps that made kite surfing understandable for me--someone who has not done boarding or kite sports before. I highly recommend Kite Provo and especially Mario.
