You won't regret it! - Amazing experience with Alan. Thorough instructor, patient, encouraging. Only wish we were here longer to get out for another lesson! Would definitely recommend.

A really fun activity - We had a great time learning to Kite Surf. Excellent instruction. It was my 15 year old son and 12 year old daughter and myself all together with our instructor. We all loved it.

A great place for that 1st step - I've seen kite surfers in several different vacation spots but never had the option to take lessons. Being in Providenciales affords a great chance to take lessons on the very flat shallow waters of Long Bay Beach. Kite Provo was great to work with prior to my arrival on island and Mark was a very informative & patient instructor for this group of 1st timers. This was a great experience & introduction to a fun sport.

Great for beginners! - Great for beginners! Excellent instructor (named SJ) for 3 of us. She moved the fast track class (3 hours) along so that we each got on the board a few times in the last hour (a lot to learn that was all enjoyable before that!). Location was perfect with low tide, warm water, ability to walk out into the water & stay together.

Excellent experience, booked directly - I had 5 two-hour lessons with the Kite Provo team in early December 2021 as a beginner kite boarder. Kite boarding can have a steep learning curve, especially for older guys like me. With their excellent teaching (and a lot of patience), I got up during the 4th session, and look forward to moving beyond beginner stage. I booked my lessons directly with them through their site.
Here is the thank you note I sent: Dear Chris, Kristen, SJ, Mawi, Astro, and Jerry (and everyone at Kite Provo): Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job helping me struggle through being a beginner kiteboarder. I am so impressed by the quality of your teaching, your patience, kindness, and care in making sure things get done right even with the inevitable chaos all around. I very much look forward to trying to go to the next level as soon as I can.

Excellent first lesson learning to kiteboard - Excellent starter course for learning to Kiteboard, Mike was an amazing instructor who went at a good pace to learn how to control the kite and start to develop this understanding into a skill. As a coach and educator myself I appreciated his style of teaching, he genuinely wants to help you understand and develop skills for kiteboarding and has a great methodology with teaching whilst also been friendly and approachable.

Amazing Kite school. Amazing instructor. Lots of fun! - Kite Provo was exactly what I hoped it would be!!!! I started on day 1 not knowing a thing and by day 2 was up for my first ride. By day 5... I was having some super fun runs and really enjoying myself. My instructor, SJ, was superb. She was very patient, supportive, fun and by the end of the week... I had learned how to set up my Kite, put it away and everything in between. Can not recommed this place more highly.

Learned to Kite from Zero to Hero in a matter of days - My son and I came to Turks with a plan to try Kiting, and as it turned, after 4 lessons with the pros at Kite Provo we were both up and zipping across the Bay, and moving on to intermediate moves. The instructors are patient and thorough and the equipment all new. Kite provo was good about accommodating requests for combinations of friends and families to take a lesson together in order to keep everyone engaged and learning. Highly recommended.

Mixed experience, dependent on instructor - Our group had a mixed experience with Kite Provo. The 4 of us were split across two instructors, Alan and Nic. The two folks with Alan had a great time--they thought his instruction was clear, he provided good analogies, and when the kite went in the water, he helped get the kite back up (which was challenging in the limited wind conditions we were facing). They generally had fun. The other two folks struggled significantly more. Nic's instruction was more laissez-faire. He gave high level instructions and we spent 80% of the time with our kite in the water--he'd watch us try again and again with little success to get the kite up out of the water. We ended up ending the 3 hour lesson about an hour early to come back the next day. Overall, I would recommend that people request an experienced instructor and I'd recommend Kite Provo to have people focus on the fun parts of kite surfing before they start teaching the extra-hard parts of it--getting the kite out of the water during low wind. Folks who worked with Alan are interested in returning, the other ones are not.

Terrible Experience with Booking - DO NOT BOOK ON TA! We booked the fast-track class on TA and the day of the lesson we received an email from Kite Provo saying they didn't have room in the class and that the booking system with TA wasn't up to date. They offered us another class a few days later, which only a few of us could still make. Then the morning of the second booked class, they messaged saying that there wasn't wind and thus we couldn't attend the lesson. However, I was on the beach just an hour later and there was lot of wind, so that clearly wasn't the issue. I don't know if they just have problems with booking the right number of people for lessons or if something else was going on, but I was very disappointed by our experience (or lack there of).
