Beginners
For those who haven’t tried kitesurfing before, the Cocos is hands-down the easiest place to learn this thrilling sport that can take you anywhere around the world. On Cocos, you have all the time in the world to get comfortable with your equipment and the wind.
At the Zephyr HQ, you’ll have the luxury of being just a kite-lines length from the beach and under the forever watchful eyes of your full-time instructors. With plenty of room for body dragging, crashing, tangles, spills and then short runs, easy down winders and freeriding, it’s the perfect learning ground to build confidence and practice in a safe location.
Intermediates
Once you've nailed your water starts it’s a fast learning curve from here on in, especially with the consistent winds and your full-time coaches. It will be just days before our team will be encouraging you to load and pop, then back roll, maybe even kite loop!
The radio helmets and video feedback work a treat to fix any bad habits you’ve adopted, and they set you a stable platform for tricks and proper kite flying techniques.
Experienced
For the more experienced riders, your coach will set you a new challenge, be it something off the trick wheel or trying the foil boards or riding a directional. We're not scared of adventure so don’t be surprised if you're led on a huge kitesurfing odyssey upwind through the atoll, out to the waves then downwind to the coast road home again. We have so many locations and secret spots to choose from; you’ll never be bored with us as your kite tour guides.
Check out the PROGRESSION PLUS tour for an intensive coaching clinic specially designed for experienced kiters with a guest pro kiter and coach.

Perfect for non-kiters
10 days is never enough to explore the breathtaking scenery on the Cocos Keeling Islands. You’ll be surprised by how many amazing things you can do without any resorts, shops or big tourist attractions. Relax under a palm tree or wade in the crystal-clear water with the tropical fish and sea turtles at Australia’s best beach on Direction Island.
