Their main school is located at Playa Paraiso, just south of the Mayan Ruins, where you will find the flattest waters in Tulum and open stretches of white beaches. The side onshore winds and warm Caribbean create an ideal environment to learn or improve your kiteboarding skills. Their team of instructors are expert kiteboarders, IKO Certified and multilingual with over 5 years experience teaching and riding. Extreme Control is the first school in Tulum teaching with the Short Line Method and Radio Helmet, where the use of 5 meter lines helps students learn how to pilot the kite without full power and the Radio Helmets helps the student to be in contact with the instructor all the time, making the learning process safer, faster and more fun! With this method, the majority of the students are able to independently fly the kite in 6 hours! Summer and Fall are great months to go Stand Up Paddleboarding in Tulum where you can enjoy an amazing paddl. The goal is to create responsible and independent kiters so everyone can continue to enjoy this sport throughout the world.

“Kiteboarding lessons”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

Extreme Kiteboarding is a great kiteboarding school. A great and beautiful location, and incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and patient staff. Gabriel was my instructor and he was great. A great place to learn kiteboarding. Not only did they want you to learn the sport but your safety was very important. Highly recommended
