You arrive at Kite Beach as the trade winds pick up, the water flashing like a sheet of metal under a low sun. Instructors set rigs on the sand; wings balloon and respond like a living sail. The wind calls the rider forward and the shallow reef-backed bay dares you to find lift.

Hydrate before you start
Drink water beforehand—wind and sun accelerate dehydration during active lessons.

A thin rash guard protects from sun and chafing against the board and harness.
Book mid-morning or late afternoon
These windows often have steadier wind and fewer swimmers in the lesson area.
