We are a fun group that loves to kiteboard and hang out with kitesurfers from all over the world. Enjoy sharing the Costa Rica lifestyle Pura Vida and all the amazing activities this wonderful country has to offer.
We originally opened La Sandia eco activities lodge (B&B located 5 minutes driving from the kitebeach) in 2005. It was our lodging and activities center, kiteboarding being our main activity. Since then we have expanded our business to provide lodging directly on the kitebeach. We provide beach villa rentals, cabina/studios and the Kitehouse (shared house with dorm) right on the kite beach, Playa Copal.
We make kiteboarders with quality standards in a safe environment and friendly ambiance. With a simple lesson plan developed by some of the best kite teachers, we make sure to go step by step to assure a quick and safe progression.
