The school

Five years scouting Mexico's Pacific coast for safe, wind-blessed spots. Today, Oaxakite is one of the only kitesurf schools between Puerto Escondido and Salina Cruz.

Our base is in Mazunte, a few minutes from Ventanilla beach — the ideal spot for your first steps on a kite, and the starting point of every kite trip along the Oaxaca coast.

The Oaxaca coast, beyond the kite

Wild beaches, warm water all year round, golden sunsets and laid-back villages: between two sessions, the Oaxaca coast is one of the most beautiful stretches of Mexico's Pacific.

Good to know

Plan your kite trip

Everything you need to know before flying to the Oaxaca coast. Still a question? Message us on WhatsApp.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

No. All Oaxakite instructors teach in English, Spanish and French, from the safety briefing on the beach to the coaching in the water.

How do I get to the Oaxaca coast?

Fly into Huatulco (HUX) or Puerto Escondido (PXM). ADO bus stations in Puerto Escondido, Pochutla and Huatulco connect the whole coast. Our base is in Mazunte.

Is Oaxaca a safe destination?

Oaxaca is considered one of the most traveller-friendly states in Mexico, and the coast around Mazunte and Zipolite has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. On the water, safety is our first priority.

Is the equipment included?

Yes. Harness, flotation vest, helmet and leash are included in every Oaxakite lesson.

I have never kitesurfed. Where do I start?

Start with the Discovery course (IKO N1, 3 hours at Ventanilla beach). You can then continue with the Intermediate course and the one-week trip to become independent.

What else can I do on the coast?

Chill on the hippie beach of Mazunte, beach parties in Zipolite, surf in San Agustinillo, yoga at sunrise, and two national parks: Bahías de Huatulco and Lagunas de Chacahua.
