7–17 January 2027
THE SCHOOL TRIP WITH AN AFRICAN FLAVOUR
Come away with us and leave the cold of Italy behind. An alternative January in your swimwear!
Just imagine kilometres of white sandy beaches, crystal-clear, calm waters and a warm breeze – perfect for kitesurfing in your swimming trunks in January!
The exclusive kitesurfing masterclass organised by PKS will take you to Watamu, Kenya, in the wilds of Africa, for a group trip (max. 10 people) where you’ll be accompanied by our best instructors and professionals, certified by the IKO and FIV.
The aim? To treat you to a holiday in one of the most beautiful places in the world – a dream destination for any kitesurfing enthusiast. Kenya, in fact, is known throughout the world as an extraordinary place.
In partnership with JC Kite School
OUR MASTER’S PROGRAMME
IS NOT JUST ANY OLD HOLIDAY.
We’re with you every step of the way:
from the excitement of your first turns to the thrill of a new manoeuvre.
And this is how we do it:
- Tailor-made lessons, designed for you and your level
- PKS-certified coaches, native Italian speakers – the very same ones you’ll find in our schools.
- Radio BB Talkin, simulations, video reviews
- Coach is always there for you, even out of the water (yes, even at dinner if you like)
- A maximum of 8 students per group, so you’ll get the attention you need
WE’LL TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL. REALLY!
It doesn’t matter where you start.
What matters is that you want to grow.
- Beginners: learn safely, step by step, and without stress
- Intermediate: we’ll help you get the hang of starting from the water, sailing close-hauled and your first manoeuvres
- Experts: tricks, jumps and all the manoeuvres you could wish for
And if you’re not sure what level you’re at, don’t worry: we’ll help you find out.
ENJOY IT AT SEA. ENJOY IT OUTDOORS
We’ll be based at the Gecko Resort Watamu, right on Garoda Beach, within the Watamu Marine Park — one of Kenya’s most beautiful beaches.
Just a stone’s throw from your room and you’re by the sea.
- Beachfront: a kilometre-long white sandy beach just a few metres from the resort
- Two swimming pools set amidst the tropical garden
- Double/twin rooms with garden views, private bathroom, air conditioning, mosquito net, safe and veranda
- A contemporary style with an African twist: elegant, refined, yet completely unpretentious
🍳 Breakfast is included every morning at the resort’s restaurant, before heading down to the beach.
🍽️ We eat together at La Garodina restaurant for lunch and dinner, set amidst a tropical garden and a lounge bar that’s always open for after-session drinks. Local and international cuisine; à la carte dining.
💆 And if you really want to switch off: massages at the resort and that African tranquillity that stays with you.
