Ben Wilson Surf's Test Centre in Mexico

MCK Tulum • August 15, 2012

About our school kites brand

Mexican Caribbean Kitesurf is the Test Centre of Ben Wilson Surf in Mexico, and we are super excited about it. You might wonder what a Test Centre is and why we are excited about the idea.

Well, a Test Centre is a testing and sales center of a specific kiteboarding brand. Those interested in testing a kite go to the brand Test Centre in their country, see the material, test it and if they like they can buy it there.

Ben Wilson Surf’s kites are not in Mexico yet, and we will be the first to introduce exclusively the brand in the Mexican territory. The only Ben Wilson Surf – Noise Kites‘ importer and Test Centre. With us you can see the latest kites NOISE, spread them on the beach and test them. We will explain you the characteristics of the different kites and bars we have, and we will advise you on the best option for your needs, measures and wind conditions of your main spot.

And if you’re on vacation and you take the kitesurf course with us and don't want to buy a kite in Mexico so you don’t have to carried with you all your trip back, Mexican Caribbean Kitesurf, as a BWS Test Centre, will give you a code to get into the Ben Wilson Surf website, purchase the gear from your country and also receive a 10% discount upon the kite purchased price.

You may also wonder who is Ben Wilson.

Well, Ben Wilson is an Australian rider who worked and sailed many years for Slingshot. His techniques of sailing unhooked and strapless, without having the kite hooked to the harness and with a surfboard to catch the best waves, have made of him one of the best wave riders in the world. His philosophy and target pursued with his own brand is to join surf and kite surf. Why not grab waves taking advantage from the wind strength and power?

In future posts we will talk about his many kite accomplishments, one of those was the biggest wave surfed using a kite.

And finally, what makes Noise Kites so attractive?

First, because Mauricio has been surfing all his life and he loves the philosophy promoted by Ben Wilson of joining surf and kite surf (his two passions). Besides, he has been kiting strapless with a surfboard for a while now.

And second, because given that Noise kites are kites designed for waves they are very stable and resistant to crashes against water and sand, typical impacts on a kite school. The kites Noise’s characteristics make them the perfect kites for a beginner who seeks security, strength and stability.

Noise kites are bomb-proof … and we are counting the days until we get all the material here. Soon… very soon!!

3 reasons to take kitesurfing lessons

By MCK Tulum • December 15, 2012
It is essential to take kite lessons with a certified instructor. Why? The main reason is that being an action sport with many variables, you can get involve in extreme situations where you have to apply all the knowledge of wind, body position, kite control, security systems, etc. So, it is very important and necessary to know all the rules of kitesurfing and all safety techniques before starting to navigate on your own. Now, we'll give you three more good reasons to take kitesurfing lessons: 1. For safety. And not just for your own safety, but also for the safety of other riders and swimmers in the area. Kitesurfing should not be underestimated. A bad learning can expose you and those around you to a serious accident. Taking the course, you will learn the techniques of kite safety, principles of wind and the necessary conditions to start riding without accidents. If you learn safety rules properly and follow them, you’ll never have any problem. 2. Because you learn faster and better. When you learn kitesurfing with a certified instructor, you do it in much less time and much better than if you do it on your own through the principle of “trial and error”. Principle that not only take you longer to master the sport but very possibly you end up injured. By learning on your own you expose yourself to unnecessary risks. 3. Because you learn with the school equipment. You don’t need to spend money on kite equipment to learn kitesurfing, because you learn with the school gear, with the latest technology and security systems all in perfect conditions. Kiteboarding equipments are not cheap and if you buy one before you have an idea about kitesurfing you will probably make a mistake buying one kite inappropriate for someone starting out. It is best to learn with the school equipment and once completed the course, you ask advice to your instructor about the material that suits you. The best thing you can do is take a kitesurfing course to become an independent rider. The course will allow you to go to any beach, decide the most appropriate kite size according to wind conditions and start riding on your own without problems. In kitesurfing, like in all sports, the more you practice the better you will be. So, if you were thinking of starting kiteboarding and also want a vacation in Tulum contact our school (Mexican Caribbean Kitesurf) and if you are looking for the best place to stay in Tulum beach while learning to sail, your place is Ahau Tulum.
