Holbox Kite season 2016 ended at the beginning of June. Holbox Kiteboarding School will re-open in November.
Sorry it’s been a while…
What an incredible and busy season it was. We had reliable winds from November until June once more. The students as ever were really enthusiastic and successful and it was great to watch the progress of all. Especially those who stayed that little bit longer. The foilboard seems to be really taking off this year. As a location to practice foilboarding, Holbox, MX really is awesome with rideable conditions most days throughout the season.
Before we left Cathy learned to ride the foilboard.

We also managed an amazing trip out to snorkel with the Manta rays. Willy’s tours based at Minisuper Besa helped us out and were very professional. Francisco is the best captain.
We’ve had a short break back home to see some friends and family (those we missed we’ll catch up with in the Autumn) and bagged a quick foil and freestyle session at Cleethorpes before booking our summer trip. While it’s not been windy photography and Unicycling have also kept me busy.
The unicycle was purchased as a way to crosstrain for the foilboard, how useful it was I don’t know, however riding the foilboard certainly improved my unicycle skills massively. I guess it must be the constant fine adjustments to balance that cross over so well.
Next stop Sri Lanka for some kiteboarding in and around Kalpitya and travelling around. A place we’ve had on the list for a while. Wahoo – Holiday!!
