Four hours, not a timed slot#
The block is long enough to paddle the shoreline properly. It is not a lesson: the team gives a quick introduction to get you started, and after that the board is yours, so it helps if you can already balance on one.
- SUP
- stand-up paddleboarding — a wide board paddled from a standing position.
- Per rental
- the price covers the board and the four-hour block, not a lesson.
- Pearl Beach Club
- the beach club where the school is based, a regulated kiting spot.
Why the kite school#
The centre is a kite school first and says it uses premium boards and paddles for its SUP rentals. Kitesurfing is restricted along much of Bávaro and Los Corales, and the school works from a regulated spot, so the same stretch is shared with kites.
Getting there, and when to go#
There is no transfer — the school does not run one — so take a taxi to Pearl Beach Club. The school notes that the trade winds blow hardest from sunrise until about 11:00, the hours it uses for kite lessons, so plan your paddle around that window.
- Whether you can already balance on a board: there is an introduction, not a lesson.
- How you will get to Pearl Beach Club: by taxi, since there is no transfer.
- What time you start: the school puts the strongest wind between sunrise and about 11:00.
Important
The same school teaches kitesurfing on this beach. Paddle outside the busy part of it, and keep clear when kites are flying.
