On the Beach Front

All you need is to enjoy your kitesurfing days

 Experience the turquoise waters of Paje, Zanzibar, in a fun, adrenaline-filled way. Enjoy the pure freedom of kitesurfing with one of Zanzibar’s most inclusive kiteschool.

We offer courses and lessons for beginners to advanced levels with our dedicated instructors and beginner-friendly equipment.

You brought your own gear? Our beach assistants will help you set up your kite and lines always with a smile. Check with the staff if there is availability to store your gear in the school for your next session.

The Kite spot is hot: at low tide, the knee-deep lagoon and its flat water make the perfect conditions for learning. Mid and high tides offer beautiful waves by the reef for experienced kite surfers. The water is always warm.
