LEVEL UP KITE CAMP

ABOUT LEVEL UP KITE CAMP

We couldn't be more excited for year two of Level Up - let's send it! Sharing over 20 years of experience in the kiteboarding world with the next generation has long been the dream of our kite camp, and last year we were able to make it happen. Get ready for another year of classroom talks, presentations, camp goal setting, intense training sessions, fun after session activities, and special guests.

Let's GOOOOOO!

Forecast is looking great - let's do this!
On the water, get ready for personalized tricks and tips for mastering skills you are working on now, and progressing to new ones. Off the water, learn about setting up to get the perfect photo/video both as rider and photographer, mental and physical strategies for achieving kiteboarding goals, product design and R&D, and many other kiteboarding specific topics. By popular demand, we are increasing the camp to 4 days instead of 3 in order to give you 25% more stoke :)...Vamos a la playa!

YOUR HOSTS

Ben and Jill met during a kiteboarding world tour stop in Cabarete in 2004 (yeah, were getting old). They have traveled to more than 20 countries together thanks to kiteboarding, and having a a bunch of beach kids running in and out of the house all day, playing together, and kiting together has been a lifetime goal.
