Kitebud Kitesurfing Lessons & Online Shop

Kitebud is a kitesurfing school and online shop based in Hillarys, on Perth's northern coast. Lessons are held only at Pinnaroo Point in Hillarys. The school is run by Christian and Sylvie, whom students praise for their patience and focus on safety.

The method starts with theory, rules and etiquette before entering the water, with an online programme (videos and quizzes) to follow before the sessions. The school offers beginner and advanced lessons, gift vouchers and online courses; it is closed in winter.

The shop sells kites (Airush brand), twin-tip boards, control bars, harnesses, wetsuits, accessories, spare parts, complete packages and second-hand gear. The website also features a guide to kitesurfing spots in Perth and Western Australia.
