Extreme Control Kite Surfing

Despite occasionally strong winds, Tulum can be a frustrating place for beginner kite surfers. Intermediate and advanced students, however, have a blast gliding up and down the beach. An introductory lesson takes 3-4 hours; don't get your hopes up, however, that you will see any action in the water. The beginning of kite surfing is purely on land (you literally learn how to fly the kite). One of the most trusted outfitters is Extreme Control, with a perch on the beach between Casa de las Olas and Be Tulum.
