SKYRIDERS

Sky Riders is our one of our most highly respected partners. Nowhere else will you find such consistently high levels of service, professionalism and equipment! With 18 windsurfing, 11 kitesurfing and 5 surfboard riding centers worldwide, they are one of the leading companies in this industry. The staff are generally a colourful mix of personalities from diverse nationalities and cultures: “We create an optimum environment for our guests and attach importance to close co-operation with local organizations in a wide range of countries.” The success of Club Mistral is based on the collaboration of a knowledgeable and responsible team consisting of creative people with lots of imagination and an outstanding sense of humour.

The center has an ideal location on the main beach of El Yaque with a good size private grassed area for kiting up. This is essential in El Yaque as the beach is quite shallow and busy so it is important to have a fenced off area. The launch from the main beach is not ideal as it has a big wind shadow and can be very busy with both kiters and local sunbather who seem oblivious the dangers ! Therefore Skyriders will take students to Kite Beach, a ten minute boat ride up wind, where there is more space, no wind shadow and an area of shallow flat water to practice.
