We had an amazing experience learning kitesurfing and highly recommend the Kitesurf Mexico school on Isla Blanca. Our instructors, Ananda and Mike were very professional, friendly and had a lot of patience... always happy, wanting us to succeed and have a good time while learning. We also met Jean Paulo, the owner who was also very helpful and accommodating.
We were both able to kitesurf at the end of our course.
The spot is perfect for beginners and more advanced learners.
It is a beautiful laguna with warm and shallow water with amazing sunrises and sunsets.
Our class times were adjusted accordingly to the wind forecast, which resulted in perfect wind conditions everyday. Instructors were in touch with us when classes had to be moved during the day, aiming to provide us with the best experience.
We would like to also mention Manuel, (jet ski operator/safety expert). He was always available to transfer us through the laguna during classes and bring us back to the base after. Manuel also payed attention to most recent wind conditions/ predictions, which helped in kite size adjustments as well. We did not have to walk with equipment which was very helpful and saved a lot of time and energy.
Equipment was provided by the school. Everything was in perfect conditions and brand new.
Our experience was great at this amazing spot with great instructors and conditions. Immediatly after our first experience, we have decided to come again for more in April!
We have tried learning kitesurfing in other schools in Europe but this experience so far was the best one.
We highly recommend Kitesurfing Mexico!!!!
We can't wait to see the Kitesurf Mexico Team again and have even more fun together!

It was GREAT!!!! Best place we’ve ever been to to learn. A jet ski follows the class, so you don’t need to walk back with the kite. Both instructors were veeeery good and nice! And the wind was perfect! Would come back many times! I recommend eating Mexican food in the restaurant after the class

I have had great experiences and progress with this kitesurf school. the contact with the head of the school was very quick, easy and reliable. I contacted first via WhatsApp. If you want to book you can do this much easier on the website and pay there via PayPal. The day before the lesson, the manager and kitesurf instructor Rodrigo contacted us via Whatsapp. We then discussed more precisely what times to meet and wind strengths. Rodrigo also brings the necessary harnesses and optimal sizes of kites depending on body weight, size and wind. Kites and Harnes were each time optimally adapted to the conditions and great to use, that is a difference to other schools i have been to before! the best way to get to school is to rent a car as taxis are relatively expensive. The kitesurfing spot is a bit out of the way but can also be reached by taxi if you dont have a car. When we arrived at the spot the equipment that appeared completely new in terms of quality was already unpacked and set up for us to use. I have never received such super good rental equipment from any school! The lessons were very effective: With my teacher Rodrigo I was able to make very good progress and within 2-3 hours I learned to ride upwind and mastered transitions in 50% of the time. Equipment was always organized for my husband to borrow too. sometimes even from other instructors at the kitespot, but we didn't even notice it because our kitesurf instructor organized everything for us in a simple and uncomplicated way before we even arrived. the service is really great. I would like to thank the Kitesurf School Mexico and look forward to my next visit. you can definitely book this school if you want to learn to kitesurf.

GianP and his team are absolutely fantastic to work with in every way! The lessons are reasonably priced (compared to lessons we have had in Hawaii), it was very organized and always on time. All of the instructors are very welcoming, highly talented and extremely patient. My husband took 4 days of lessons and our daughters took 3 days of lessons. I would highly recommend this area not only for its beauty but for the shallow water that makes learning so much quicker than learning in Hawaii. You will not be disappointed and we can't wait to go back!!

Gianpaolo was communicative and helpful for scheduling. Rodrigo is an excellent teacher, very friendly and experienced! The lagoon is perfect for learning with shallow calm water.
I definitely recommend Kitesurf Mexico in Cancun for anyone wanting to safely learn with great instructors

I had a great experience with Kitesurf Mexico. Their equipment is new and they have many different kite and board sizes to choose from depending on the strength of the wind. The business is also very well run. Every morning Rodrigo would give an update on the wind conditions and whether it was worth the fairly long drive to Isla Blanca. My instructor, Mario, was a great instructor - super friendly and knowledgeable. Gianpaolo, the business owner, takes students to and from the teaching area on a jet ski. The jet ski is huge benefit. It allows students to spend more time learning and less time walking back and forth from the beach. It also allows the quick changing of your kite size if the wind increases or decreases. I highly recommend Kitesurf Mexico.

Rodrigo has taken me under his wing and I've been making steady progress. A pure beginner at the start, I'm now comfortable controlling the kite and both launching and riding to both my right and left after 2 lessons. The communication, instruction, equipment, and locations of the lessons have all been top notch. Would recommend to any thrill seekers interested in learning this sport. I am already scheduling my third lesson.

Kitesurf Mexico is the best, forget the rest! I needed a refresher having not been kiting in 10 years. They made me feel so comfortable and confident with their unique style of teaching, coaching and encouraging. They are just a Class Act and great humans! I highly recommend Kitesurf Mexico when in Cancun looking for fun and adventure!

Wow, what an experience! I spent 2wks in El Cuyo with Kite Surf Mexico in March learning to Kite and had an absolutely great time!

I paid for the “Full Kiteboarding Course” which is 12hrs of lessons. My instructor, Pippo was awesome! It was my first time doing any sort of board sport and Pippo was very patient, super knowledgeable, very passionate about what he does and is always giving positive feedback (even after multiple supermans haha)!

At the end of the course I continued on with an additional 8hrs of private lessons with him and also some side tips and advice from Sari, another instructor and Pippo’s partner.

I was lucky enough to also do a 2day, 1night road trip to Isla Blanca where Kitesurf Mexico also teaches, as the wind in El Cuyo was dead for 4days.. Another amazing experience and very different conditions to El Cuyo.

I can not recommend these guys highly enough! They became more than just my instructors, they are now my friends!

Thanks Pippo, Sari and Gianpaolo! I can’t wait to be back in April!

We were welcomed by Jean Paulo and Rodrigo (owner and Instructor), and the experience was incredible. I rented gear for two days and my girlfriend had the 9 hour course, she finalized being able to water start properly and we both had a great time. The spot is word-class, shallow water, warm water, flat and steady wind, the equipment provided by the school is also first class and new, in perfect conditions, the even have a jet ski to pick you up in case you are in trouble.

Rodrigo was amazing to us, he did the course for my girlfriend, very good instructor, always with a smile on his face, you can tell he loves what he does. Highly recommended, very good vibe and beautiful spot!
