Due to the nature of kitesurfing, equipment quality is prioritized. We work in partnership with Duotone, a world-renowned brand. Various kitesurfing equipment sizes from 5 meters to 14 meters are available. Suitable equipment is available for both beginners and experienced kitesurfers. For student safety, basic training equipment such as wetsuit, water shoes and helmet are provided during lessons. Our school aims to offer the highest quality experience by renewing equipment options every year.

Best Season

Our school operates year-round in Alaçatı. Alaçatı is a location that receives wind approximately 300 days a year. The main season lasts from April to November. The busiest period is from June to October. While June and September are considered high season, September and October are also very suitable for kitesurfing lessons. During these months, while the crowd decreases, wind and weather conditions are very favorable for kitesurfing.

Our main facility is located within the Aspc surf school. Our facility includes Duotone and ION sales store, bar/restaurant, Wi-Fi, beach, showered changing cabins, hotel, windsurf-wingfoil and kitesurfing training and courses for children.
