Over the last two seasons, Holbox <\/a>has started to develop a small but growing foilboarding or kite hydorofoil<\/a> scene.\u00a0 Currently there are 8 local foilers and an increasing number of visiting foilers on Holbox so you’re unlikely to be foiling alone. The conditions there are perfect for learning and progressing.<\/p>\n

Water conditions are flat to small chop and always deep enough for a full length mast once you are 50 metres past the lagoon.<\/p>\n

There are opportunities to make huge upwinders or downwinders if that is your thing.\u00a0 With Punta mosquito as a target 4km upwind which gives access to 40km long Playa Ensenada. Take a look., this view is of main beach. The point on the left hand side is Punta mosquito and the beach going off into the clouds is Playa Ensenada.<\/p>\n

Holbox Kiteboarding School <\/a>offer foilboarding<\/strong> or kitefoil lessons<\/strong> and rentals.\u00a0 They are currently using moses and slingshot foils, axis and slingshot boards.<\/p>\n

Rescue<\/strong> service is available<\/strong> and the lessons are taught from the boat if desired or necessary. Radio Helmets<\/strong> are also used to help speed up the learning progression.<\/p>\n

The traditional kite season on Holbox runs from Nov until end of May however with a hydrofoil that season can extend into the summer months too.<\/p>\n
