GOT WIND?
What is this revolutionary and relatively new sport called kiteboarding
or kitesurfing? Well, it isn't as much of a sport as it is a passion.
Talk to any kiteboarder and you will see...It's using the power of the
wind to carve through the ocean, launch yourself 30 feet into the air,
and ride waves into the sunset.
Beware kiteboarding will change your life and you will never look at
the world the same. As a kiteboarder, now you will only see everything
through the perspective of the wind.
So, how did this passion begin?
Kiteboarding grew from windsurfers looking for better
performance andmore fun in light winds. Since then surfers,
snowboarders, skiers, wakeboarders, skaters, sailors, and paragliders
have joined in, blending their skills with the sport. If you come from
one of these sports, learning to kiteboard will bring a lot of familiar
feelings as well as new ones.
Even if you haven't been surfing the waves or riding on the mountain,
kiteboarding is an awesome sport for anyone with the desire to learn.
And Tulum, Mexico is an ideal place to learn and practice. With its
consistent winds, warm Caribbean blue waters, and beautiful stretches
of white sandy beaches, you discover a kiteboarding dream. The
coastline offers great opportunities for exciting downwind trips with
Extreme Control's Kite Kamps along the way. As well, there are many
awesome locations just a road trip away to experience different areas
in Mexico.
For the newbie, kiteboarding is simple, safe and fun if you take the
right approach. Without lessons and bad advice you might face some
frustration. Would you fly a plane without instruction? Of course not,
then you probably would not fly a 12 meter kite attached to your body
without instruction. So, it is highly suggested to get started with
this sport by taking a thorough Beginning Course. A qualified
instructor will teach you the art of kiteboarding in a suitable
progression, using the right equipment in a safe environment. Taking
the appropriate approach will save you time and money and possibly from
an injury.

 A good Beginning Course will start you out with a small foil trainer
kite. These are safe and easy kites to begin learning the principles of
the "wind window."This is the most important aspect of kiteboarding in
which you learn how to maneuver and control a kite in the wind. After
you gain control and understand the movements of the kite you learn to
use the power of the kite to drag your body through the water, known as
a "body drag." The ultimate goal of a beginning lesson is to give you
the skills you need to have complete control of a trainer kite. If you
demonstrate good control of a foil kite the next stage is to learn
about the four line inflatable kites. But, remember the most important
factor in kiteboarding is learning to fly a kite safely. So, a good
instructor will make sure you have control of the trainer kite before
moving you up to a small inflatable kite. Inflatable kites are the
large kites you see sailing across the water. These kites pack a punch
and require a full understanding of the wind in order to pilot them
safely.

A beginning course includes a comprehensive introduction to the
four-line inflatable kite where you will learn to set the equipment,
the bar and its safety mechanisms, how to launch and land the kite and
techniques in controlling the kite. With ideal conditions you will
start to experience the power of the four-line kite. The next step is
to perfect your "body dragging" skills with an inflatable kite and get
you started with the board and understanding the principles of a "water
start." Everyone learns at a different pace and just remember it is
better to practice the basics in order to learn the sport safely. A
firm understanding of the kite is necessary before you tackle the board
so just be patient and enjoy the learning process.
