Everything about Kitesurf Cayman is perfect. The location - secluded Barkers beach is beautiful and windy - steady 20-25 knots the entire week I took lessons. The water is warm and so blue. You see the reef out in the distance and then a deeper blue beyond. It is a cool spot of paradise. Pedro is an outstanding instructor! He is experienced, patient, encouraging and conscientious. Natasha, who runs operations, was very helpful. Doug, an instructor, provided tips and shared his passion for this great sport. I keep thinking about it and can’t wait to go back.

My son, husband, and I took private kitesurfing lessons from Kitesurf Cayman on the 2nd week of March 2020. It was a fantastic experience. Jhon (the owner) was very responsive, and coordinated and arranged our lessons before we arrived at Cayman. He is also an excellent instructor. Both Will and Jhon taught my husband who was a very good windsurfer for over 30 years. Now he has become a kiteboarder and was very happy to get IKO certification at the end of our trip. My son took lesson from Aryen and also got IKO certified after two classes. He had taken a couple of classes in Maui last year and he excelled fast this time and kitesurf beautifully. I took lessons from Aryen and Pedro and enjoyed to work with them very much. All of the instructors: Aryen, Will, Pedro, and John (also the owner) are excellent. They are very competent, kind, encouraging, patient, friendly, and passionate about their teaching. When we made progress, they cheered for us as they were taking the lessons. I can't say enough good thing about the whole team. The beach is one of the best kitesurfing beaches: clear, warm, and shallow water with the wind blowed everyday when we were there. We will come back again and bring new kitesurfing students next year :-) Thank you, Jhon, Aryen, Will, and Pedro. We hope to see you again next year.

My kids (20 and 22) both took introductory lessons, and my son came back twice more. By the end of it, he was able to ride independently and is a new convert to the sport. Jhon and his team were helpful, flexible, and just plain nice people. This is the perfect place to learn to kite board!

Took my teenage daughter for her first lesson and a private lesson for myself. Pedro was very attentive helpful. Jhon was very responsive and helped me schedule a second lesson. I progressed quite a bit compared to other lessons and became an upwind rider! My daughter got to try her first water starts after a single lesson, with is MUCH faster than other places I have been. Location was FANTASTIC for learning. On shore winds and waist deep water. Can’t wait to return!

Relaxation...... Stayed near Rum Point at Iggy Blue. Wonderful house. Beaches we're beautiful and inviting. Be prepared for whatever reason their dollar is stronger than ours. Definitely not an accurate reflection of their economy or ours. Private fishing was super. Captain Herman was just as advertised. Snorkeling was great. Sharkeez had the best burger I had. Conch is delicious. Over the edge is great.

I signed up my son to do this on TripAdvisor and after I didn't hear back from the owner, I called about 20 times, leaving messages, and never heard back. Hoping I wasn't actually charged for this!

Found Jhon online and spent 3 days with him and his team. Javier and Fernando were awesome. My 12 yr old son and 16 yr old daughter took their first lessons and had a blast. I also rented gear so that I could ride without having to hump my gear on the plane. Jhon was also great about driving us to and from the hotel. We will be back.

I stumbled across an advertisement for Kitesurf Cayman in a magazine at the airport. I emailed John at Kitesurf Cayman on Monday to see if he could fit in my teenage sons and luckily he had an opening on Wednesday for a semi-private lesson. Both boys thoroughly enjoyed the 2-hour lesson, so much that we returned that same afternoon for each of them to have a private lesson. It is expensive but my sons (ages 16 and 19) had a wonderful experience and were up on the kite boards that afternoon. The instruction is top notch! They have helmets with speakers inside and the instructors coach you via walkie talkie. The instructors spent a good amount of time teaching proper equipment set-up and safety. Both sons have experience snow boarding and wake boarding but still had difficulty initially with the kites. It does not look easy! After the second hour of instruction, both boys were executing the moves and surfing independently. It is a small operation- not sure what the maximum capacity for lessons is, but most of the kite surfers were those renting the equipment- experienced kite surfers. John, the owner, has been in business in the Caymans for eight years. He is a world-class kite surfer and assisted with my sons' lessons. The other instructors, Fernando and Javier, were outstanding! Both were patient, enthusiastic, and detailed in their instruction. Had our vacation allowed for another day, my sons would have enjoyed another 2-hour session. They definitely hope to kite surf again given the opportunity. Great bucket-list experience if one is looking for thrilling outdoor activities.

I want you to understand the impending feeling of doom I had when whilst on a leisurely drive my athletic, impulsive, adventure-seeking boyfriend sees a sign advertising kite surfing rentals, takes a sharp left, leaps out of the car and before I can fully grasp what is happening has signed up for a 2-hour kite surfing lesson. My options were to sit on a chilly, extremely windy, overcast beach and watch him or risk what I was pretty sure was going to be my life, limbs, and dignity to do the lesson with him. I am pretty kinesthetically challenged so normally I will choose Scrabble over extreme sport any day of the week but I could not possibly have enjoyed this more. Jhon is some sort of super chill kite surfing sensei; calm, soothing, funny, knowledgeable, and he knows exactly what each of us needed to hear in order to be able to succeed. After just two hours we were able to stand up and glide several meters at a time. Not a bad start so I'm told. Jhon teaches the necessary safety and etiquette first and then goes for the more technical details at the learner's pace. He knew exactly how much to challenge each of us and didn't waste time once we'd met a milestone. He made every second of the lesson count and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to kite surf. Or anyone who has literally zero interest in learning how to kite surf and just would like to be pleasantly surprised at themselves because with Jhon, you really can't fail.

(All equipment included plus he keeps wet-suits handy and if he tells you you might want one, the man knows what he's talking about, it'll be worth squeezing yourself into that sausage casing.)

Highly recommend. Having taken kite boarding lessons in several locations in the states and Caribbean, in my experience, your time will be much more productive here as they utilize radio helmets. These are invaluable because your instructor can talk directly with you while you are kite boarding. I will be sure to head back there during my next trip down.
