5 Days Kitesurf Camp in Yucatan, Mexico

Facilities

You will stay for four nights at a hostel in Progreso, Áabilo’ob. Áabilo’ob was born in a conversation over coffee between a mother and her daughters, two years ago; starting as an idea that ended in a family project. The name Áabilo’ob (uabilo' ob) means "granddaughters or grandsons" in the Mayan language.

Likewise, the name encompasses the values that characterize the Áabilo’ob family: confidence, cordiality, fellowship, and respect. Each corner of Áabilo’ob was built with love, creativity, and the personal touch of the mother and daughters, hoping to make you feel like part of the family.

At Yuckite, all the lessons are taught individually. Every student has his / her own I.K.O. certified instructor as well as personalized equipment to ensure that your training progresses at your own pace, guaranteeing the most effective learning experience. In order to be a safe and independent rider, the average amount of lessons are 12 hours which will be divided into sessions of two to four hours per day.

At Yuckite, the students enjoy the lessons taught by qualified staff certified by the International Kiteboard Organization (I.K.O.). The instructors and assistant instructors have been trained and examined thoroughly by this organization to provide a high-quality and safe learning experience.

Your kitesurf experience will take place in Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico. Below are the kitesurf spots chosen by Yuckite.

El Playon

“El Playón” is the main spot for teaching and the most frequented kite spot in Progreso. With a wide beach and its shallow water out a long way, it offers perfect conditions for safe and comfortable kiteboarding lessons. The wind blows mainly side-onshore, between 15-35 knots almost every day throughout the year. From beginners to pro riders, this spot is just perfect for kiting.

La Ria De Chelem

When there is southeast wind in Yucatan, you can go kiting at “la ría de Chelem”. The water flows in from the ocean to the land and creates an impressive space for kiting. At “la ría”, the water is flat and shallow. Due to the location’s characteristics, gusty and onshore wind, “la ría de Chelem” is a spot only for advanced riders.

However, thanks to the local boatmen, Yuckite can take the students to the middle of the wide ria to share the amazing kite experience in this beautiful spot in a safe way. Yuckite works constantly with Chelem’s cooperative in order to improve the spot’s conditions for kiteboarding.

Chuburna

A multifarious spot! Chuburná is located in the west of Progreso, shortly after the village Chelem. A breakwater divides the beach into two: On the one side is the wavy ocean, whereas on the other side you’ll find flat water.
