Goals and Expectations: Kiteboarding is a technical Sport, that combines two skill sets: Board Skills and Kite Skills. Plus kids will need to learn about wind, and weather and water safety. Each person is unique, some have previous experience (skateboard, wakeboard, sailing, windsurfing etc), And that will help add to their knowledge base, However, some kids will be seeing and trying these skills for the very first time. And there is a lot to learn and a lot of information to cover. *Parents should recognize that it may take several camps to get all of the skills for independent kiteboarding. On average between 15-30 hours. Kids should always be supervised when kiting by a responsible kiteboarder, example, A teacher, a kite coach or a kiteboarding parent. Parents that want their kids to progress faster should consider taking up the sport, or at least getting a few lessons so that they can assist the kids on the beach as needed when practicing after the Camp. | ||
No experience is necessary: What to Bring: To help keep our prices down. We recommend that Kids bring their own booties. Their lycra rashguard shirt is supplied. Please ensure your child has some good waterproof sunscreen and a hat. Sunglasses are optional but if you have them they should also have a leash. *Kids feel the cold more than adults so we recommend that they bring a shorty wetsuit (spring suit). *All participants must be able to swim in deep water (over their heads) and be comfortable in the water.

Running since 1998 our Summer Kids Kite Camps have been a great success. We are Maui’s Original Kids Kiteboarding Camp and have specialized in promoting kids kiteboarding. Kids come back several times a summer and sometimes several summers in a row. We also have advanced classes for the slightly older kids that have progressed beyond the beginner’s program.
The course is for kids 9 to 16 years of age. Camps are usually a mixture of local school kids and some summer visitors too. Many of the local kids are from families and are second generation kiters. Our visitor’s children are often a mix of newbies and some from families that have been visiting the islands for years. This is a great opportunity for local kids to mix in with some new kids and see some new faces.
