Why choose ProKiteClub
A clear start and calm learning pace
At ProKiteClub, kitesurfing lessons move step by step without unnecessary pressure: theory and safety first, then kite control, body drag, water start and the first confident rides. This approach helps beginners feel calm on the water and lets progressing riders improve specific parts of their technique.
An instructor supports the student at every stage, and two-way radios make it easy to give instant tips and corrections.
We choose the kite, board, harness and the rest of the setup for the wind, student level and the goal of the lesson.
Akyaka is great for learning thanks to predictable conditions, a wide riding area and an easy water entry.

Real moments from the water and the station
Akyaka is one of the most comfortable places to learn kitesurfing in Turkey: steady wind, shallow areas, plenty of space for lessons and a relaxed kite-spot atmosphere. At ProKiteClub, beginners build their foundation, progressing riders improve technique, and independent kitesurfers get help with launching, landing and choosing the right gear.

Why Akyaka / Gökova is great for learning
Akyaka sits on Gökova Bay in Muğla Province. It is one of the most comfortable kite spots in Turkey for learning: it is easy to start from zero, build basic safety skills and gradually move toward your first rides.
The spot has space for lessons, shallow areas and conditions that make it easier to practice kite control, body drag and water start. Marmaris and Dalaman Airport are nearby, so lessons or riding can easily be combined with a holiday in Turkey.
When is the season?
May through October
When does the wind blow?

How strong is the wind?
typical wind range: 14-18 knots during the day (7-9 m/s)
Forecast and live wind
Check live weather station data
The thermal wind at the spot does not show up clearly in the forecast, so it is important to check not only wind strength but also direction.
If the forecast shows a westerly wind with a slight shift to the south or north, that is a good sign: the thermal wind at the spot should work. To check real conditions, open the app or a live wind station and look at the wind history over different time periods.
In rare cases, the forecast shows strong wind from another direction, which can disrupt the thermal wind. In these conditions, wind direction and strength can change often, so going out on the water is not recommended for either lessons or independent riding.

Method
How lessons work
At ProKiteClub, lessons move step by step without jumping too quickly into difficult exercises.
Intro and lesson goal
We define your level, experience, general sports background and the goal of the lesson.
Theory and safety
We cover wind window theory, safety systems, launching and landing.
Kite control
You learn to feel the pull, control kite position and react calmly.
Body drag
We practice moving through the water without a board and swimming with the kite.
Water start
First we practice the correct stance on shore, then combine kite, board and body position in the water.
First rides
We reinforce kite control, practice water starts and correct possible mistakes.
Safety on the water
Kitesurfing is an extreme sport, but learning starts with control and clear rules. At ProKiteClub, students are not rushed: safety first, then technique, then independence.
Before going on the water
We explain safety systems, right-of-way rules on the water and the correct, safe approach to launching and landing the kite.
Instructor in contact
Always. On shore and on the water, the instructor stays nearby, guides you, gives tips and corrects you during training. We use two-way radios for comfortable learning.
Equipment matched to your level
We choose the optimal equipment for the wind, your level and the lesson goal. If the wind changes during the lesson, the instructor will switch to equipment better suited to the current conditions.

FAQ
FAQ
Here are the main questions before lessons, travel and booking.
Did not find an answer?
Message the ProKiteClub manager: we will help with available dates, lesson formats and spot conditions.
Where is ProKiteClub located?
ProKiteClub is in Akyaka on Gökova Bay, Muğla Province, Turkey. How to get there: about 10 minutes by car or around 20 minutes on foot from Akyaka village to the spot. It is a popular kite spot located close to Marmaris (30 minutes by car). The nearest airports to Akyaka are Dalaman - 1 hour, and Bodrum - 2 hours.
Can I learn kitesurfing?
Yes 🙂 If you can stand up from a chair on your own, you can learn kitesurfing. The key is to start with an experienced instructor.
What is included in the lesson?
Lessons include a full equipment set, helmet and wetsuit for the training time. If you choose a non-group format, the lesson is individual, 1-on-1 with an instructor. On the water, we use radios so the instructor can control your first starts and give quick feedback.
How many hours does it take to learn?
The pace depends on wind conditions and how regularly you train. We recommend allowing 5 to 10 days for lessons, usually 9-12 hours, to consolidate the skills. In some cases, it may take more or less time. A daily training session usually lasts about 1.5-2 hours.
Can I rent or store equipment?
Yes, of course. You can both rent equipment and leave any gear for storage. Rental and storage prices are listed on the website, and you can always contact the manager for all the details.
Do you offer wingfoil and hydrofoil lessons?
Yes, hydrofoil and wingfoil lessons are available. It is best to book lessons in advance. For comfortable training, the school has a boat so you can avoid a long body drag into deep water.
How do I book a lesson?
You can contact us in any convenient messenger: WhatsApp or Telegram, or book lessons online on the website.
At what age can a child start learning?
On average, children can start learning from around 27 kg and about 10 years old. But every case is individual, so it is better to message the manager to check the details.
Where should I look for accommodation if I want to come for lessons and riding?
The closest village to the kite spot is Akyaka, a small scenic village away from all-inclusive tourist Turkey. Akyaka has apartments, hotels, restaurants and cafes. For accommodation rental, you can contact the school manager: we will advise you and help find options. You can also book through popular services such as Booking, Airbnb, Agoda or check hotels on Google Maps.
