Activity description

Orient bay is the largest (2.5 km long) kitesurfing bay in Saint Martin. It is located on the windward side, where the wind blows frequently and consistently (kitesurfing requires laminar winds that should not be disturbed by the mountains). The crystal clear water and warm temperature will only add to the fun and convivial atmosphere created by your excellent instructor!

Your private course will be tailor-made, providing you with personalised lessons and guidance in real time (via Headzone helmets). This course is also the best way to improve quickly, becoming an autonomous kiter faster. 

To ensure your safety:
- The school uses boat assistance, which can also take you upwind within 2 minutes, while you have a quick rest
- They always teach beginners in shallow water and use a large sand bar, perfect for kitesurfing novices  

Wind Adventures uses Headzone helmets (radio integrated helmets) and a fast and comfortable motor boat - guaranteeing you the best service you can find in St Martin.
