About PDC Kiteboarding

PDC Kiteboarding was founded in 2007 on Coco Beach in Playa del Carmen, in a protected bay shielded by two outer reefs. The school was created to move away from high-volume 'kiteboarding factories,' focusing instead on individual progression toward safe, independent riding. Its IKO-certified, multi-lingual instructors teach kiteboarding, wing foil and hydrofoil, and the school is also an authorized dealer for Slingshot and North Kiteboarding equipment.
