ABOUT US

๐ŸŒŠ The Friendly Kite Story

 

Friendly Kite was never just a business — it started as an idea to change something that didn’t feel right.

 

We saw talented local instructors and riders not getting the opportunities, respect, or support they deserved. So we built something different. A place where instructors, assistants, helpers, independent riders — and even other schools — could grow together, not compete against each other.

 

What started as a vision quickly became a movement.

 

With the help of local kids who once stood on the beach just watching, dreaming of one day flying a kite… today, we proudly have 11 IKO-certified professionals, all from Buen Hombre.

 

That’s not just progress — that’s proof.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ๏ธ Rooted in Buen Hombre

 

We are based in Playa Buen Hombre, a raw and authentic fishing village in the Dominican Republic.

 

A place that hasn’t been overbuilt, overhyped, or overrun — and that’s exactly what makes it special.

 

Here, the wind blows steady almost all year.

The water stays shallow, flat, and forgiving.

And the energy is real — no filters, no distractions.

 

This isn’t just a kitesurfing destination…

it’s an experience people don’t forget.

โ€‹

๐Ÿค More Than a School

 

At Friendly Kite, we don’t just teach — we connect.

 

We work closely with local accommodations, restaurants, and the community to create a complete experience for every rider. When you come here, you’re not just booking lessons — you’re becoming part of something bigger.

 

Whether you’re:

 

  • Learning your first meters

  • Pushing your limits

  • Traveling solo

  • Or coming with your own school

 

There’s always a place for you here.
