After you have finished your lessons with ExotiKite, we will put together a package price for lessons and rentals/purchase, taking a percentage of your lesson price and applying it towards equipment.  We can also dropship to anywhere in the United States.

Do I have to make a reservation or can I just show up?

It is best to make a reservation, although, we can normally schedule you within a few days if you decide to drop in. Our busiest season is Dec 15th – Feb 1st. During this period you will want to reserve ahead of time.

Is there a cancellation policy?

Please understand that making a reservation with ExotiKite Kiteboarding School is a commitment for us to hold a space for you on your scheduled date and time. That space can rarely be filled without advanced notice. For these reasons we request that in the event you need to cancel, you give us 48 hours notice. If you do not give us advance notice we will assess a late fee totaling 50% of the lesson price.

What if there is no wind during my lesson?

We only charge you for the lessons you take. If there is no wind during your scheduled lessons you will not be charged. If you pay in advance and do not finish your lessons, due to weather, your money will be refunded for the hours you did not take.
