  Description

  Discover Playa Buen Hombre
  
  We’re more than just a kite school – we’re a close-knit family located in one of the most unique spots in the Caribbean. Our school sits on stunning flat, clear, and warm waters, perfect for all levels of kiteboarding.
  
  Playa Buen Hombre is a hidden gem – a small fishing village where everyone knows each other, creating a safe and welcoming vibe. Over the past three years, I’ve been working to share this magical place with the world. I founded our kite school to support the local community, employing 12 local instructors and training them to become IKO-certified professionals. We’re proud to be the only IKO center within a 3-hour radius!
  
  But we can’t do this alone. Whether it’s helping us keep the space organized, lending a hand at the school, simply spreading the word, your support makes a difference. Come kite with us, immerse yourself in our culture, and be part of our family. You’ll arrive as a guest and leave as one of us.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  This town is very small and for the most part no one speaks english. So you can practice your spanish here for sure. Most of the staff are all local guys so you will be truly immersed in life here in Buen Hombre, with everyone hanging out a lot together. We also have a kite school and the conditions here are excellent. If you don’t kite yet or have your own equipment, you can take lessons / hire equipment from us for a discounted price too (roughly 25% off all listed prices)! Additionally I was a Salsa Dance Instructor for 10 years so you could dance too.

  Aide

  We are a new school. I need help maintaining, building and developing the place. You can also help around the school with english speaking customers and if you are an IKO Instructor then you will be able to give classes. We have a good vibe and our priority is to have a good time and to make new friends. If you have any other skills to offer / possible projects that you think you could help with when you get here, I am open to talking about them as always trying to develop the space!
