KITESURFING 2000 SCHOOL is the first kiteboarding school in Central America and it's the only one open all year around. We teach following the Kitesurfing International Safety System with our unique 9 years teaching experience to more then 1000 students world wide.

If you have never kitesurfed before, the Absolutely beginner course is highly recommended. Our certified instructors will teach you what and what not to do until you're able to do the water starts. After this, a couple of days of private lessons will help you gain confidence in your skills. We keep lesson prices low to encourage people to learn in the safest and least frustrating way under the advice and supervision of an instructor. After about 8 - 10 hours of lesson, you will be definitely able to enjoy this sport and reach your goal in the best way!
