Experienced Kitesurfing in Cocos (K) Islands

If you’re already kitesurfing confidently and want to refine technique, build consistency and push your riding further, the Cocos Experienced Kiter Camp offers one of the most complete progression environments in the world. Flat-water lagoons, consistent trade winds, expert coaching and full on-water support, all delivered through the Zephyr Signature Tour experience.

Why Experienced Kiters Choose Cocos

Cocos (Keeling) Islands is one of those rare kite destinations that genuinely rewards experienced riders.

The lagoon offers endless space to work on technique, control and consistency, while the reliable trade winds allow you to ride day after day without chasing conditions. Whether you’re refining transitions, working on jumps, carving with control or building confidence in new skills, Cocos gives you the time, space and conditions to focus.

This is why experienced riders from Australia, Europe and beyond return to Cocos again and again — not just for the location, but for how much their riding improves while they’re here.

A Kite Camp, Not Just a Trip

The Cocos Experienced Kitesurfing holiday is a kite camp built around progression, not ticking off sessions.

This is a fully immersive experience where:

  • Coaching is tailored to your riding goals

  • Sessions are structured, but never rushed

  • Support is constant, both on and off the water

  • Learning continues long after you come off the lagoon

If you’ve done kite trips before and felt like you plateaued, this camp is different. The focus stays on you, your riding and what’s next.

Coaching That Makes the Difference

Progression at this level comes down to quality coaching.

The Zephyr coaching team brings decades of experience, with a calm, thoughtful approach that helps experienced riders unlock new skills safely and efficiently.

A key part of the Cocos camp is working with coaches like Ben, who brings over 15 years of coaching experience. Ben has worked with riders at every stage, from early progression to advanced performance, and knows how to break skills down in a way that makes sense on the water.

This isn’t about ego or pressure. It’s about clear feedback, confidence and progression that sticks.

The Cocos Lagoon

The lagoon at Cocos is vast, open, and uncrowded — giving you space to ride freely and focus on your progression.

Unlike busy kite destinations, you won’t be constantly navigating around other riders. This means:

  • More freedom to ride your own lines

  • Safer attempts at new skills

  • Longer, more enjoyable sessions

With so much room to explore, the lagoon becomes the perfect playground for learning, refining technique, and pushing your limits.

Small Groups. Personal Progression.

Cocos kite camps run with small groups and a high coach-to-rider ratio, ensuring every rider gets personalised guidance.

Each day includes structured coaching clinics on the water, tailored to skill level and goals. These clinics focus on refining technique, building confidence, and pushing progression — whether you’re mastering your first transitions or perfecting advanced manoeuvres.

Riders also get plenty of unstructured water time to practice and explore, supported by our team when needed. This combination of daily clinics, personalised feedback, and open water sessions ensures every rider progresses at their own pace while enjoying the freedom of the lagoon.

The Support Boat Advantage

The rescue boat isn’t just for beginners — it’s a key part of progression for experienced riders too.

With the boat on standby, you can safely push your limits, try new skills, and refine techniques without hesitation. It allows you to:

  • Attempt higher jumps and more technical moves with confidence

  • Extend sessions across the lagoon without worrying about fatigue or safety

  • Receive on-the-water coaching and immediate feedback

This combination of freedom and support means every session is more productive, more enjoyable, and more focused on progression, giving you the space and security to ride your best.

An Immersive Kiteboarding Camp

The Experienced Kiter Camp runs as part of the Cocos Signature Progression Tour, where riders of different levels share the same world-class environment, each supported in the way that suits them best.

While beginners build confidence and foundations, experienced riders:

  • Access advanced coaching

  • Ride longer, more focused sessions

  • Push progression within a supportive, safety-first framework

This shared experience creates an incredible atmosphere on tour, without compromising progression at any level.

Who is This Camp For?

This camp is ideal if you:

  • Ride upwind confidently
  • Control speed and power
  • Transition in both directions
  • Want to refine technique and progress
  • Are ready to ride consistently, not casually

If you’re unsure whether this camp matches your level or goals, we’re always happy to help you decide.

TESTIMONIALS

This year, we attended our third and fourth Zephyr Cocos tours - we wanted a holiday that we would both be certain to be 100% happy with. Having been twice before, we knew that we could not possibly go past Zephyr Cocos. Despite our divergent starting points, our skills improved immeasurably. If we had stayed at home, it would have taken us a year or two to achieve the same level of improvement that we managed in a few short weeks. Our goal is time on the water, essentially, but with coaching, prompting, and critique to help us to progress. Zephyr provides all this and more. Add to this the fact that all you really need to worry about is waking up in time for the next session, and the kiting holiday is complete.

Zephyr, you’ve done it again. Another great getaway, great team great customer mix, good winds 2 Sweet Spots and a trip over to Direction Island. Love your work.

Morgan D. Cocos Islands 2023

Tour was great! Ben's limitless positivity was a real asset, and the coaching efforts by the rest of the team made it one of the most rewarding experiences I've been on. The home cooked style food provided on the tour was sublime. I'm very happy with my progression throughout the tour, going from never-used-a-kite-before to consistently-kiting-upwind. You guys did a fantastic job all round. Would highly recommend to anyone who is serious about learning how to kite and wanting to completely bypass the so called 'walk of shame'.
