Mini Camp July 6

July 18 to July 20

August 1 to August 3

Tired of slow progress from scattered lessons? These kiteboarding camps are designed for those who are ready to commit and become truly independent riders.

Typical kite lessons run for just 2 hours a day, which can stretch your learning curve for months or years! From my experience, the riders that learn fastest are the ones who can dedicate several consecutive days to nothing but kiteboarding.

Our camps are structured around exactly that. Over three SOLID days, you'll build a solid foundation of independence and confidence on the water. Once you're comfortable, we’ll tailor the experience to your goals. Whether experiencing your first rides, jumping higher, riding strapless, learning to foil, or simply progressing faster in a supportive, high stoke environment.

Conditions to Progress

Sherman Island is one of the best kiteboarding locations in California.  It usually has warm weather and consistant winds. Many Bay Area kiters enjoy sessioning here, but sometimes it can be crowded.
Don't worry, we will be taking you to an island that is away from the crowds and has plenty of room to practice. Perfect to try your first body drags, riding strapless, or jumping in the air. Maybe at the end of your three days you will do a downwinder and land your own kite at Sherman Island launch site.

How to arrive to Sherman Island

Sherman Island is located about 1 hour from San Francisco or Oakland.

Once you enter the park. Find the boat ramp at the southern most point of the park. We'll be there with the gear and the jetskis.

Daily Schedule

Our schedule depends on the weather conditions and everyone’s rhythm. The wind calls the day. We will like to start at 10 am but sometimes we might have to start and end later in the day because the wind might arrive late. Don't worry... we'll plan on kiteboarding as much as possible. Here is an example of a day…

9 AM - Arrive at Sherman Island to get setup

10 AM to 12:30 - First Kite session for the Day

12:30 to 1:30 PM - Lunch Break

1:30 to 4 PM - Second Kite session for the Day

5 PM - Wrap up and dismissal

What do you need to bring

• Personal Wetsuit*
• Water shoes or sandels
• Personal Harness will be a plus
• Sunglasses, Hat, Sunscreen, and reusable water bottle

* Contact us if you don't have gear. We will help find you a rental or borrow a used wetsuit. 

No Wind Activities

Sometimes mother-nature doesn’t want to cooperate. It's the nature of kiteboarding. Luckily we have some activities that we can do without the wind.

• Wakeboarding - to build board skills
• Technical kiteboarding classroom (Kite repairs, bar tuning, rules of the road, board shapes, and kite shapes, etc…)
• Efoil Sessions - to introduce a new way to enjoy the water

Small Print...

• We cannot guarantee the wind, but will do our best to give you a great experiene. We may sometimes start earlier or end later to find the best conditions. We will descuse the plan the following day and revisit the plan in the morning. Possible start times are... 9 AM or 12 Noon.

• Because this camp is very close to the bay area, we will not be providing accommodations. If you are traveling from afar, then we sugguest booking a hotel, Airbnb, or motel nearby.

• In the unlikely event that your camp has to be cancelled by KGB Kiteboarding, you will receive a refund of the value of your booked camp.

• If you fail to show up at the scheduled time of your camp, we will try our best to accommidate you. We might have to pick you up during a break. The amount of time that you are late will be deducted from the camp time.

• (Cancelations under 7 days are Non-refundable )

• If you have any allergies or need any special care for something, please discuse this with the instructor before your camp. 

We are very excited about this camp. We have always done travel camps to exotic areas, but never a local camp. These camps will be for those that want to practice in the area where they'll kiteboarding themselves! We hope to hear from you soon! Send it!
