LEARN TO KITESURF IN THE COCOS (K) ISLANDS

Zephyr Tours has been operating kite lessons and kitesurfing tours on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands since 2005. With a strong connection to the islands and a commitment to promote and support local tourism, Zephyr’s operations continue to grow and evolve. In addition to our unique all-inclusive kitesurfing tours, and to meet the increasing demand for kitesurfing lessons, Zephyr Tours is stoked to now offer kitesurfing lessons in the Cocos (K) Islands.

With the winter trade winds blowing consistently from June through to October and the water temperature a balmy 27C, the Cocos Islands is the perfect location to learn to kitesurf. While the southern winter is the best time to come to Cocos for kitesurfing, there is wind all year round.

Our supportive and patient instructors will adapt their teaching style to suit your learning needs best and always teach at a pace that works best for you.

FAQ’S

  • What is a trainer kite?

    A trainer kite is a purpose-made kite that flies due to air passing through the cell walls of the kite. It is small, lightweight, and designed as a training aid for learning to kitesurf. They are safer and easier to fly than a power kite and are a great tool in teaching basic kite flying skills and techniques. A trainer kite typically has two or three lines and is controlled using a bar or handles.

  • Can my kids have a go?

    Yes! Playing with a trainer kite is a safe and fun activity, suitable for the whole family. Kids under 6 years of age may struggle to hold onto the kite. However, our certified instructor will be there to help them hang on!

  • Is it difficult to learn?

    Learning how to fly a trainer kite is safe and easy! And it’s a great first step to learning how to kitesurf!

  • What if I learn really fast?

    If you show quick progress during your kitesurfing lesson, if time permits, we will give you the opportunity to try out a powered, leading-edge inflatable kite.
