Siroco Kitesurf, pioneers in teaching with a support boat

Siroco

Who we are

Siroco Kitesurf is a kitesurf and wingfoil school in Gran Canaria specialising in lessons with a support boat, radio communication systems and our own teaching method, built around safety, quality of instruction and real progress for the student.

We were the first in Spain to teach with a support boat and radio control systems. Every year we host instructors from all over Spain who come to train at our school and learn how we work.

Our team is made up of qualified, experienced instructors, with up-to-date equipment and our own boats.

Why we teach this way

In sports like kitesurfing and wingfoiling, safety, communication and real practice time make all the difference. That is why we use a support boat for lessons on the water: it lets you practise in open water, cuts the time lost walking along the beach and makes the experience safer, more effective and more personal.

Support boat

We set off from the boat, sail in open water and return to the starting point without walking along the shore. More real minutes on the water in every lesson.

radio

Real-time radio communication

Your instructor corrects, guides and accompanies you by radio while you sail, at the exact moment you need it, without waiting until you are back on the beach.

teoria

Our own online theory

Theory videos filmed by us, so you arrive at your lesson with the concepts already covered and make the most of the water from the first minute.
