My girlfriend and i were recently on a return visit with a group of friends, determined to take some lessons in the interest of picking up a new wind-sport. While we had done a bit of initial research prior to our departure, we decided that our best option was to 'wing-it' and find an instructor/school while down on the beach.... more

All we wanted to do was kite. From Palya Del Carmen, which was not very windy, we made our way to Tulum, crossing our fingers there would be wind. And there was. We chose to stay at Ocho because it was the only hotel in the sothern area with a kite school. Both of us are competent and experienced riders,... more
