Kitesurfing Lessons with Sydney's Best Kitesurfing School

Kitepower is Sydney's best kitesurfing school and will offer you unmatched levels of progression and safety. 

Our school closes from May 1st through to September 30th. This is because winds drop away in Autumn and turn offshore making conditions unsuitable for lessons.

Our lessons are taught one-on-one, meaning the lesson is completely customised and catered to the student. We endeavour to get the student on the water independently as quickly as possible. 

Kitepower is proud of our 20 years of dedication to safe kiting. We are one of the few schools in New South Wales accredited by Kiteboarding Australia. This means we teach to the highest possible standard, allowing the student to learn our amazing sport with confidence.

We utilise both radio helmets and can offer boat support to give the best experience possible.

Lesson and Beginner Gear Packages

Kitepower offers a range of lesson-and-gear deals to get you started in the sport more cost-effectively. See our Lesson and Beginner Gear Packages here.

Trainer Kites

We highly recommend students spend 10 to 15 hours flying a trainer kite before taking their first lesson (see instructional video here). This ensures the student gets the most out of their private lesson to progress in a quicker and cost-effective manner. 

Trainer kites are available for purchase, or are available for hire at $50 per week.

Lesson location

Kite Lessons are held at Monterey Beach generally at this location click here for directions near the amenities block, opposite the Just Hooked fish & chip shop. Or at the south end of the beach if the wind is from the South. Click here for directions.
