Voted

 “Best School”

 

Our destination is La Ventana, a windsurfing and kitesurfing paradise on the Sea of Cortez.  This location is renowned for its “El Norte” winds.  But what makes this place so special is the layout.  La Ventana is a huge horseshoe bay that offers side on-shore winds, warm water, great swell and comfortable conditions for all skill levels. 

We stay at 2 different accommodation options right on the beach. Come join us in Mexico!

· Kitesurfing Lessons and/or Windsurfing Clinic

· Beachside accommodations

· 2006/2007 Gear

Trip Cost:

Total Trip cost estimate:

Kiters staying at Baja Joes: Flight, accommodations at Baja Joes, rental car, food, miscellaneous  expenses -- $1200 per person

Windsurfers staying at Ventana: Flight, accommodation at Ventana Windsurf including windsurf gear and meals, rental car, windsurfing clinic -- $1800

Cost options:

The cost of this vacation is a la carte. You choose which options you like, and price each one. We stay at one of the two accommodation options below. Windsurfers tend to stay at Ventana (they have the most current windsurfing gear) and kiters like to stay at Baja Joes (kite launch right at Baja Joe's beach). Ventana offers a meal plan (yummy healthy food), yoga, kayaks, mountain bikes, a beach side hot tub, and tasteful palapa loft style rooms. Baja Joe's offers beachside double rooms or budget bunk rooms, mountain bikes, kayaks, and shared kitchens. Inexpensive massage therapists are available at both locations.  There are several good and very informal restaurants and taquerias in town. Once you arrive, you don't even need to get back your car. You can stay at the beach, walk into town (5 minute walk) for dinner, and just chill out on the beach in Baja. This place is incredibly relaxing, beautiful, and has fantastic conditions for kiteboarding and windsurfing!

We teach the windsurfing clinic and the cost is $360 for a 3 day/9 hour clinic.  Depending on your skill level, topics can include fast tacking, pivot jibing, carving jibes, beach starting, waterstarting, harness & footstraps, and light-wind freestyle. 

Kiteboarding lessons are available from multiple instructors in Baja and we can help reserve those lessons for you. Fly into Cabo San Lucas from San Francisco (2 1/2 hour non-stop) on United or Alaska Air. La Ventana is a 2 hour drive from the Cabo airport. The roads are easy to drive and all major rental car companies are located at the airport. Flights average around $400 and rental cars average about $200/week. We can help connect you with others going on the trip to share rental car expenses and carpool together.
