About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- jilll740 contributionsGreat instruction & location to learn!Highly recommend! Ashton is very helpful patient & knowledgeable. He has a nice setup on the beach with quality equipment.. Takes you on a jet ski and gives great instruction. I took lessons 2 days (I was only there 2 days) He was punctual polite and professional.Written 10 May 2024
- Y263INeliasg0 contributionsMy new kitesurfing friends!The ONDA team is fantastic and I plan to visit them again in the summer to improve my new-found kitesurfing skills. Atanas is an awesome instructor. Following his advice and tips, I was enjoying my very first rides on da board (in both directions) during my first session. I think I even had my very first upwind ride, too. By the end of my third session, I was already comfortable water starting with one power dive only, I had improved my stance significantly and I was working on my first transitions trying not to sink. It has been a real pleasure learning from Atanas and I am already hooked. I am looking forward to nailing those transitions and more fun on da water soon. Zorka was very helpful giving us upwind rides with the jet ski whenever needed. Ashton was really flexible and cool with scheduling (and rescheduling or refunding), as Mother Nature did not allow us more than 3 super-fun kitesurfing days. A huge THANK YOU to the cool ONDA team!!! Highly recommended to anyone even remotely interested in trying kiteboarding in the beautiful Turks and Caicos islands, which is probably one of the best locations for beginners worldwide!Written 7 January 2024
- martinemT4920OF0 contributionsBest instructor and location to learn to Kite surf!Ashton provided for my husband and I the best kite surfing experience. His location is perfect for beginners : chest deep water for such a long way. His spot is so easy to find for cab drivers : Long Bay Beach by the wooden boardwalk. His instructions were so clear. I felt safe at all times, and I really appreciated that he was close to me at all times on his seadoo, and giving me tips and feedback through the helmet that had a microphone/headset. Ashton is such a friendly instructor. We are leaving feeling more confident, and definitely wanting more! I never thought I would start such a sport at this stage of my life. I have the Onda rash shirt : watch out, we will be back for sure!Written 11 November 2023
- Fearless5450470 contributionsAbsolute best KiteSurfing lessons everI had taken Kitesurfing lessons in multiple places before, including Rio and Jericoacoara, but I never got to a point where I felt truly independent. Athanas, Ashton, and Zorka were the absolute best instructors I've ever had. My girlfriend and I learned kitesurfing much more quickly and seamlessly here than anywhere else we had tried before. The instructors were extremely warm and patient - especially Athanas - and we had an absolute blast. By the last few days of our trip, we were kitesurfing independently upwind and downwind, and exploring the island. We had an absolute blast and would love to come back.Written 29 May 2023

- jsmiles4u0 contributionsGreat Kite Boarding Experience!Great experience! My husband and son took lessons from Onda upon recommendations from friends. It was my son’s first lesson and he even got up on the board for a bit. My husband had taken a previous lesson on vacation and after a quick refresher he was up kite boarding. The instructors are knowledgeable and made the lessons fun. We highly recommend!Written 8 April 2023
- 288egl_b0 contributionsGreat experienceAll ONDA team was super nice. Had opportunity to work with Antonis who was a great instructor for wing foiling. After a few lessons was going back and forth with a brief moment of foiling 😃 Thank you to Zorka too for cheering and borrowing neck gaiter! I will definitely continue to improve this summer.

- leifq20230 contributionsGreat Coaching - Professional OperationAshton was an excellent instructor. He was clear in his instructions and laid back; I never felt pressured; he was always patient and encouraging. Kiting and Wingng are intense sports and you need expert coaching from a team that will keep you safe. Onda Watersports we’re all theses things and more. Highly recommend.Written 2 April 2023
- Cheryl P0 contributionsThe best kite surfing lessons!!!Antonis and Ashton were amazing instructors . We felt so safe and cared for . My sons and daughter were even able to get up on the board after 3 hours . They were professional and kind . Thanks so much !!!!Written 28 March 2023
- charlessN3179UU0 contributionsFantasticMy experience with Onda was nothing short of exceptional. While first calling about possibly booking a lesson I mentioned that I didn't have a pump for my own equipment. Ashton went out of his way to come drop one off at my resort so that I could train prior to our lesson. Ashtons expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm made my lesson extremely productive and helped me reach a breakthrough the following day. I am now hooked! My biggest take away was theyre headset technology on their helmets so I could get active feedback. Save the hasstle and book a lesson with this great team, you wont regret it!Written 27 February 2023
- 231joshw0 contributionsBest Instructors ever - I am hooked on Kite SurfingAshton (the owner) and Attanas (instructor) are amazing. I took a wing foiling lesson, which was great, and then did two Kite Surfing lessons. By the end of the second lesson I was up and riding in both directions. My wife did two wing foiling lessons. We loved all of it. Both Ashton and Attanas are such good patient teachers. They quickly identify the most important mistake you are making get you to fix that, and then move on to the next mistake. They do not overwhelm you with 10 things you need to try to fix all at once. They are true professional teachers. They have me hooked on kite surfing.Written 22 February 2023
- kahindi0 contributionsExcellent ExperienceIf you are interested in taking a wing foil lesson, look no further than Onda. Ashton is a true professional, and has created a program that is very effective for beginners. I highly recommend Onda.Written 28 December 2022
- uwomba0 contributionsGreat place to rent a board and FoilJust like everybody else, I don’t like to travel with my board and Foil, so it was great that these guys can take care of youWritten 12 December 2022
- Alisonwatersports0 contributionsSuccess without flailing!Wonderful experience and a lot more successful than I expected! I have seen people flail for hours when trying to wing as a beginner, and that's what I expected to do. Ashton, though, has a great progression that starts on the beach, and then moves out to the chest-deep water. He starts with a long paddle board like board and then moves to a shorter board. I was so surprised to be winging in the 2.5 hour lesson without huge wipe outs or major frustration. I came back for an hour lesson a couple days later to learn to foil and actually got up on foil in the first 15 minutes, although briefly. I gave the rest of the lesson to my daughter who is a good wing foiler, because my finger really hurt from having it yanked from a kiting string the day before. But Ashton was able to give my daughter great tips for jibing and tacking and it was all really successful.Written 27 November 2022
- danielrK5619JK0 contributionsProfessional and funAshton is a very professional and friendly instructor who makes learning kite boarding fun and simple. I have never gained as much progress in one lesson as I did with Ashton. Communication during lessons was effective and helped a lot with my progress. Highly recommendWritten 19 August 2022

During the planning stages at home, Ashton was very patient and helpful answering all my email questions, even those not directly related to the wing foiling lessons. I was surprised and pleased to find out that not only is Ashton from Canada but also from the same province, Saskatchewan, that I am. I felt like we had a bit of a connection.
Two days before this lesson, I had an efoiling lesson with a different company. That experience left me with my knees and elbows sore and bleeding. So, I was very pleased and grateful when my instructor, Atanas, handed me a pair of kneepads right at the very start of my lesson. Another pleasant surprise was when they gave me a helmet that was equipped with radio earphones and microphone. This would prove to be a big help during the lesson, as my hearing isn't the best.
Atanas was a very skilled and patient instructor with a sharp eye for detecting the subtle errors that I was making. Under his guidance I seemed to catch on to the basics of controlling the wing and board.
All in all the people of Onda have successively taken their passion for kiteboarding and wing foiling and turned it into a very professional and friendly business.

I had been really struggling with wing foiling until yesterday when I took a lesson from Ashton from Onda Water in Turks and Caicos.
Ashton had a helmet with built in headset and he had me doing long tacks in both directions by the end of my lesson.
Couldn’t have done it without you Ashton!!

We came back to Provo specifically because Ashton, Atanas, and Zorka are so awesome. They are such amazing teachers and all around good people. Ashton was super flexible with scheduling since the wind doesn't always cooperate. Also their equipment is the best which makes a huge difference when you are learning. This is the best place to learn Wing Foiling and these are the best people. Our second trip won't be our last.

Ashton was awesome!!! I took a lesson with him to jumpstart my wingfoiling and I couldn't have been more impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and ability to provide super helpful guidance in a very digestible way. I really wouldn't look anywhere else if you're looking for a watersport experience and i'll certainly be coming back on my next trip!

I contacted Ashton via email in the trip planning stages and he helped me tremendously. When we were on-island, he was always available and super responsive. Zorka is the kindest person who always had a helpful coaching tip and offered a wealth of information about island life. Most of my time on the water was with Atanas. His knowledge of wing foiling is exhaustive and he is a phenomenal coach who knows how to balance when to coach and when to let you try things on your own. Although you know they do this as a business, they come across as people who just love what they do and are passionate about teaching. They genuinely want you to succeed and are incredibly generous in sharing their knowledge. I learned more with them that I could ever have imagined. The location is also perfect, as you are never more than chest deep so you can take a break any time.

Awesome first experience kiteboarding with Atanas (hope I'm spelling that right!). I looked at a ton of different lessons on the island, but really appreciated Ashton and Karen's story on their website.
Atanas, was great about getting through theory and getting me behind a kite and on a board as fast as I was comfortable. Long Bay has to be one of the best places in the world to learn to kite. Beautiful shallow bay and wasn't crowded at all. Jet ski was key for getting where we wanted to be and away from anyone else. The instruction, people, and gear were completely top notch.
My wife was trying to video from the beach and Ashton just jumped on a jet ski, took and incredible video and airdropped it to us.
If you're even thinking about a lesson, I can't recommend these guys enough. I'd come back to the island just for another lesson with these guys.
