Holbox Kiteboarding School

Jonny Smith and the rest of the Holbox Kite School staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and safety conscious. The communication was excellent. The shop is clean and inviting. Gear by Slingshot and Ride Engine are top notch and what I would consider buying for my own equipment. The spot for learning is beautiful, shallow, flat water with a sandy bottom. I was able to progress in a short time after a long hiatus from kitesurfing. Would definitely recommend and I plan to be back.

Excellent instruction and real time feedback. The team at Holbox Kiteboarding School is very well organized with a continual focus on safety. Anna is super knowledgeable and experience instructor who is also a great teacher.

Ezequiel went above and beyond to make me feel protected in the water. He is such a great instructor and very professional. He was very patient and explained everything as many times as needed, always making me feel comfortable and allowing me to learn at my own pace.

Communication with the kite school was very easy, and they helped me with all my questions about kitesurfing. Since I had never kitesurfed before and felt quite nervous about it, it was a relief to meet Nuria. She made me feel at ease and took the time to explain everything multiple times whenever needed. Thank you for that!

Learning to kite with Johnny was an incredible experience. After several attempts elsewhere, I finally achieved my goal of becoming an independent kiter thanks to his patient, structured, and encouraging teaching style. Johnny has a rare ability to combine technical expertise with clear, step-by-step instruction. He always made sure I understood the “why” behind every move, from safety procedures and equipment setup to body dragging, water starts, and riding upwind. His calm presence on the water built my confidence and helped me progress faster than I ever expected. Holbox was the perfect spot to learn — shallow water, steady wind, and a relaxed vibe — but it was really Johnny who made the difference. He’s passionate about kiting, genuinely cares about his students, and knows exactly how to adapt his approach to each learner. I’m now confidently riding on my own, fully independent, and can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend Johnny to anyone serious about learning kitesurfing the right way!

Kitesurfing lessons are an incredible experience! Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve, the instructors are super knowledgeable and make learning fun and easy.

It’s an adrenaline rush with stunning views, and by the end, you’ll be hooked on the sport! Definitely worth it for anyone looking for a new adventure.

Anna is hands down the best kite instructor I've ever had. She’s incredibly skilled and experienced—she can spot your mistakes from a distance and provides clear, detailed guidance on how to correct them. After just a few lessons with her, I saw significant improvement in my skills and felt confident in my ability to manage risks on my own, thanks to her thorough instruction. Plus, Anna is an incredibly kind and approachable person. I'm really grateful for everything she taught me. Thanks so much Anna !

Everyone at Holbox Kite were amazing from initial booking through final sign off. I have had other lessons in the past but none gave me the confidence to feel safe enough to fly on my own. Johnny is a great team leader and Pochi is an amazing instructor.

L’esperienza è stata eccezionale, soprattutto grazie all’istruttrice Anna. Lei è stata estremamente paziente e professionale, due qualità che hanno reso l’apprendimento non solo efficace, ma anche piacevole. Anna spiega il tutto in maniera chiara e semplice, mettendoti subito a tuo agio. Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto del servizio offerto e, senza dubbio, se tornerò a Holbox mi affiderò ancora a loro per migliorare le mie abilità nel kite surf. Consigliatissimo!

Kitesurf with Anna was an incredible experience! Despite my initial fears, her expert guidance and enthusiasm made me feel more confident and definitely eager to learn. Three intense days filled with fun transformed my first kitesurfing experience into a marvelous memory. Now, I'm hooked and can't wait to continue this exciting journey!
