What is not included?

Flights, transportation to Mérida, personal insurance (we highly recommend having one), extra non-alcoholic drinks, and gear rental — which can be added as an option.

Do I need previous kite experience to join?

Yes — for this camp, you need to be able to ride independently, go upwind, and self-rescue. It’s designed for intermediate to advanced riders. If you’re not there yet, you can join our beginner camp.

What do I need to pack?

Rash guard for sun protection (or a shorty wetsuit if it gets cooler), sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and mosquito repellent. You’re welcome to bring your own kite gear, or use our high-quality rentals available as an add-on. Off the water: t-shirts, shorts, flip-flops, a pair of shoes, and one outfit for a night out.

How many hours of coaching will I receive per day?

Coaching is delivered in small-group clinics of up to 4 riders, with 2 hours of coaching per day. This gives you dedicated time to work on your progression, while still leaving plenty of time to ride and practice on your own.

Where is the kite camp located?

The kite camp is located on Avenida Líbano in Progreso, right on the spot. You’ll be staying exactly where you kite — no commute needed. There are small shops and local places to eat within walking distance, and the town center is just a 5-minute Uber ride away.

Is kite insurance mandatory and how does it work?

Insurance is not mandatory, but highly recommended. We do not take responsibility for injuries or accidents, so having personal coverage is strongly advised.

Can I extend my stay or arrive earlier?

Yes — everything is fully customizable. Our all-inclusive camp format is designed for one week, but you can arrive earlier, stay longer, or join for fewer days. If you’d like to extend your stay with accommodation and coaching, or adjust the duration with full board, just reach out and we’ll create a personalized option for you.

How is the temperature?

Warm and consistent. Expect around 30°C during the day, with water temperatures between 28–30°C — perfect for long sessions in the water.

What happens if wind conditions are bad during camp?

Wind conditions during this time of year are usually very reliable. In the unlikely case that there is no wind, any coaching sessions that cannot be completed will be refunded.

Can I join as a solo traveller and meet other riders?

Absolutely. This camp is designed for solo travelers and small groups, with a strong social atmosphere that makes it easy to meet and connect with other riders.

What power adapter do I need?

Mexico uses Type A and B plugs (the same as the US) with a standard voltage of 127V. If your devices use a different plug type, make sure to bring an adapter.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — we can adapt to vegetarian and gluten-free diets. If you have any allergies or specific dietary requirements, just let us know in advance so we can take care of it.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can cancel free of charge up to 30 days before your arrival. After that, the reservation becomes non-refundable.

Coaching Progression & Support

At OUK, daily coaching is designed to guarantee your progression both in and out of the water-fully customized to your level, goals, and riding style.
On the water, small clinics (max. 4 riders per coach) give you focused guidance on smooth transitions, higher jumps, rotations, grabs, loops, and adding style.
Off the water, mobility sessions, suspended bar practice, and daily video analysis build muscle memory and refine technique. Group feedback and a progress tracker keep you motivated, with an end-of-camp summary + take-home tips to continue progressing.
You'll leave riding higher, cleaner, and with more confidence than ever.
