Description
Hi, my name's Axel, I am the owner of a small kitesurf club, and also an Eco-House boutique, for surfers and kitesurfers in a fisherman village. We are based in Mancora a surf town, a laid-back beach resort on the north coast of Peru, close to the Ecuadorian border.
We mostly offer kitesurf and surfing lessons, but also yoga, stand-up paddle tours, and other experiences to people passing by here... Our Wind season IS FROM MAY to DECEMBER. the rest of the year, there is no wind but we still surf :)
As a local paid staff we already work with Pablo who gives kite lessons and repairs kites, Chelita and Juan who help us with the hotel all year around.
