WHAT WE DO

Graykite’s mission is to share our love for kiteboarding on surf and snow with as many people as possible. It’s as simple as that. To help us do that we follow a teaching methodology that we have designed to maximise your progress and enjoyment, and to make sure we provide the best possible experience we use it to structure all the lessons at our kite schools in Tarifa, Boracay and Canmore.

To get our ideas and techniques across to you we’ve hand picked some of the finest instructors in the world to head up our teams.

OUR TEAM LEADERS

Our team leaders are some of the most experienced and passionate instructors anywhere in the world. Between the three of them they have over 30 years of teaching experience and they’re more than happy to share everything they know about the sport and their home towns with you. This combination of teaching and local expertise means you’ll have a fantastic time on the board and a memorable time off it.

All our kitesurfing instructors are IKO qualified. They’ll get you up on your board and riding in no time.
