Get Kiteboarding Lessons in Toronto, Ontario Canada! Kitesurfing School at Cherry Beach in Toronto, Ashbridges Bay, Woodbine Beach, Lake Simcoe and More.
So much of Kiteboarding is about Kite Flying 80%. And it’s not as easy as it looks so I like to separate lessons.. Any place that says you can learn Kiteboarding Properly in a weekend is not right.. Such a great Sport!! But Kiteboarding is still an extreme Sport. I just tell it the way it is…. 7 years teaching.
Also Snowkiting in winter is a great way to get better at Kiteboarding over the years: Keswick, Lake Simcoe in winter:
After PBK1… it’s best to get a good trainer kite for your weight.
I'll go over what trainer trainer kite to get. With the trainer you'll used to the Pull and Power that you will need later… when you get a 12-17m Kiteboarding Kite (so much power is needed to pull you out of the water)
If you do PBK1-2 you may forget PBK2 later since you have to fly your trainer before PBK3. Basically, when I started, the place I got my kites from didn’t want to help me with lessons or kite repair/Support when I started kiting. (Left out in the Cold) so I started PBK…
On PBK3 I save the best wind days for Customers that get their kite from PBK, so the same thing doesn’t happen to Customers… I want to be ready to help and PBK does Pro Kite repairs as well. PBK1 the best way to start! .5hrs Great Theory (I'll also chat about later PBK2-3) then 2hrs flying the trainer Kite. Get rid of bad habits right away and looking forward to why you need to practice.. I demonstrate everything first. You'll be so far ahead of others trying to learn on their own. I'll you what it's really Like to be a Kiteboarder.
Main Location for PBK1 is Woodbine Beach Toronto: See Map and Street View Below:

I'd like to say that as a busy Professional, I value my time. I’ve always wanted to try Kiteboarding PBK it all became clear, no rushing and great deal on knowledge and information. Now I’m up and riding on my new Ozone Edge 13! What a Rush!

Too old? PBK says no... But Paul got me to do Snowkiting first. I hadn’t skied for years, but it all came back for a fun filled snowkiting season. Now I'm getting the hang of Kiteboarding. Thanks PBK.

I had some used kites and though I was ready to get into this sport. My Wife told me I had to take certified lesson. I was lucky I found Paul at PBK. He helped me a great deal and I found out that the 8m kite some guy sold me was far too small for a 210pound guy. My board was to small too. It all came together when Paul explained the "Details of Kiteboarding Physics" drawing and all.

This PBK1 course was so informative. I thought Kiteboarding was going to be so simple, but now I realize why I needed to take this lesson to learn faster and safer and to practice before going on to the water with better control. Wes
What? Get stuck out there? Never though of that. A self rescue? The first place I called didn't even mention it. Now that I'm kiting and have had to rescue myself a few time. I'm glad I knew what to do. Knowledge is not only power, but safety as well.

One enthusiastic Instructor! Every minute was Soooo.... exciting, flying the trainer kite! I just picked up my Flow 3m and can't wait to practice some more. Bring on the wind! Paul taught me how to look for the right kind of weather and wind even before I got to the beach.

2)Look for 10-20km/h on the graphs and e-mail Paul at PBK to let me know so I can double Check and plan using my 8 years of Experience. I will let you know if it looks good then we can plan for that day and work out a time.
Best directions are from ENE-E-S-SW-WSW (Comes mostly from the water)
Also OK when 15kph-25kph W-NW-N (Comes over the tree a bit more) or at another location. 3) Check the weather again in the am and before you plan to leave for PBK1, always Contact me before you leave as well to double check. The weather can change. I'll then choose the best location. We only book for a day that should be good. That's what Kiting is like.
4) What to wear? Dress for the Weather. Running shoes work best on the beach but some like bare feet. But you could step on something sharp. Sunglasses, Sunscreen and a hat can really help when Sunny. If Colder out wear warm pants, Jacket, Hat Gloves etc. E-mail your Cell to stay in touch.
