The kitesurfing is great several place on Anegada. The nice part is there are several beach and you can move depending on the wind direction if necessary. At Anegada Beach Club, Tommy runs a new kitesurfing school. He can do some tune up lessons for your group, has rental equipment, and most importantly has a dinghy in the water in case someone got into trouble and needs help. The prevailing wind there is parallel to the beach so its great for beginner kiters.

sunbvi said: Hi MrEZgoin, have you been a beginner? And how long did it take you with them till you were able to kite? Yes, I was a near beginner, having only taken one course in Aruba ten years ago when the equipment was quite different. Usually they will start you out flying a small kit from the beach to learn the controls. Then some body dragging in the water. Then from the boat in deeper water. I was able to get up and ride some distance, but I have a lot of watersports background. Changing direction is more challenging. I will say I felt a lot safer with Caribkiteboarding than I did in Aruba, where one guy in a dinghy was managing 3 students bodydragging out to sea in an offshore wind.
