  Whether you're new to the sport, or an unhooked pro, Cozumel Island in the Mexican Caribbean offers endless possibilities for kiteboarding.

Olympic windsurfer Raul De Lille introduced kitesurfing to Cozumel and became the island's first certified instructor.


In Cozumel, it almost always blows in at least 1 of 5 spots. Raul customizes kitecamps and tours depending on conditions and how you want to ride.

Tours include transport, drinks, lunch and stoked riding with Raul and the Crew.

Raul works with Casa Viento guest house, offering accommodations dedicated to kitesurfers.
