Fly the kite with precision before getting in the water. This is where the wind starts to make sense.

Founder and instructor

Founded by someone who lives kite every day.

João Carlos is the founder and instructor of JC Kite School. He trained and coaches the school's team of instructors, and the method is the same in every lesson: safety first, close coaching and progress at each student's pace.

In the first days, controlling the board and the kite at the same time is a lot of information. Don't worry about being good right away: let your body absorb the commands. Everyone goes through this.
