About the Academy

Built for the
next generation

Founded originally as the KITEC Pro Junior Camp in 2006, the program helped develop a generation of riders who went on to become established names in kiteboarding.

Today, the Pro Junior Kite Academy brings that experience into a new era, helping young riders progress both on and off the water.
