Good to know

Before you book

Not at all. Most of our students have never kitesurfed before. Our beginner courses start from the very basics on the beach and take you all the way to riding.

Most people are up and riding after a beginner course of a few days, though it depends on the wind and on you. Private lessons are the quickest way to get there.

Paje's flat, shallow lagoon is one of the safest places in the world to learn. Add certified instructors, modern safety gear and small groups and you are in very good hands.

Paje has two main wind seasons, roughly June to September and December to February, with reliable trade winds. We ride all year, so just ask us about your dates.

The easiest way is WhatsApp. Tell us your level and your dates and we will confirm availability, the right course for you and the exact price.
