Wind Flow Academy

Wind Flow Academy is a kitesurfing, wing foil and parawing school in Martínez, north of Buenos Aires, based at the Aguila Pro Center (Elcano 1302). Lessons take place on the Rio de la Plata, either from the club shore or, more often, from a boat that takes students to a calmer spot.

Kitesurf lessons last one hour, one-to-one or for two people with the same instructor, with equipment and changing room included. A first theory lesson on land is compulsory for anyone who has never kited; learning then follows two stages, first kite control (up to three lessons), then adding the board. Assisted boat outings (transfer, hydration, rescue, kite set-up and pack-down, coaching) are for riders who are already independent.

In wing foil, lessons are individual or limited to two people, with Ensis equipment, wetsuit, booties, buoyancy vest and helmet. Students start on a large board without the foil before moving to the foil, and wakefoil sessions behind the boat help when there is no wind.

The school also offers parawing lessons, a summer camp for children aged 6 to 12, equipment storage and sales of new and used gear, as well as clinics and group trips (Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Barbados).
