La Ventana Coaching Program
Welcome to La Ventana, a world-class kitesurfing destination on the Sea of Cortez, along Mexico’s stunning west coast. Renowned for its steady wind and lively kite scene, La Ventana is home to a thriving community of riders—ranging from complete beginners to seasoned professionals who gather here each season to share the stoke, progress their skills, and enjoy some of the best conditions in the world.
But La Ventana isn’t just about kitesurfing. With crystal-clear waters and rich marine life, it also offers amazing snorkeling and scuba diving, earning it the nickname “The Aquarium of the World.” Add to that epic fishing spots and scenic mountain biking trails, and you’ve got a true adventure playground waiting for you after your kite sessions.
With its panoramic coastline, La Ventana offers a variety of kite spots to explore. Throughout the program, we’ll make sure to try them all including unforgettable downwinders along the coast.
What does a day of coaching look like?
We’ll use the morning to set your daily goals, review your riding objectives, and share pro tips on reading the forecast, choosing the right gear, keeping your equipment in top shape, staying safe and all the little things that makes the difference between an averagae and an experienced rider.
The wind usually picks up around 12h , that's when we'll get to the beach and start riding ! Not two kite sessions are the same, you can expect sessions riding all together , photo shoots for video analysis and of course downwinders . Expect a lot of fun and a huge boost in your riding .
After a full afternoon on the water, we’ll return to the kite school for a progress review session and prepare for the next step in your journey.
What else?
With its endless coastline, La Ventana is perfect for downwinders. We’ll go on a few guided ones together. Not only is it a breathtaking experience, but it also challenges your technique and builds your confidence on the board. It’s often one of the most memorable parts of the trip — and chances are, you’ll want to do it again and again.
