THE CLUB HELP CENTER

Kitesurfing is an extreme sport.
Taking kitesurfing lessons is an important step in this regard. This is how you learn to kitesurf safely and responsibly step by step. The teacher will follow your pace and will never pressure you if you don't feel ready. In addition, we use the latest equipment so that you feel safe.

At first glance, Mancora is not the easiest place to learn Kitesurfing, however we always recommend learning in conditions like those of Mancora.
Because starting in a lagoon will always be easier, but when you want to kitesurf in other spots you will have to take classes again. Starting with these conditions will allow you to be able to sail anywhere.

The wind in Mancora picks up around 11am until 4/5pm.
Normally we get together around 12h/12h30 depending on the conditions and the beach to which we are going that day.
For a class we always recommend 2 hours, but if you have the energy and if the wind allows us to continue, we can do more class time.

The wind in Peru is present all year round!
From November to April, you will find good winds south of Lima in Paracas.
From May to December, the windy season is on the north coast of Peru.

Kite season in Mancora sapos from May to December. We have very good wind conditions in these months with an average of 5 days per week suitable for kiting and a side-onshore wind.
The wind starts to blow around 11am and dies at 4/5pm

Mancora is located in front of the intersection of the two great marine currents: the cold Humboldt (from the south) and the El Niño Current (from the north).
The meeting of these two currents creates an excellent climate with more than 300 sunny days a year and temperatures that range between 21º and 34ºC and from 20º to 27º for sea water.

Kitetrips are aimed at sufres with a minimum level of Kite, we ask our clients to have good control of the kite, know how to rescue themselves and their board.
Kitetrips are not just for waveriding, if you sail in twintip you will also find conditions to have fun.

We are located in the center of Mancora, between the main beach (Surfpoint) and Playa del Amor, facing the sea.

It is always better to contact us before arrival to find out about our availability, but we do not ask for any charge for class reservation or Kite trips.
For accommodation reservations, 50% of the reservation is requested and the other 50% is paid upon arrival at the hotel.

We accept all forms of payment: cash (dollars or soles), card payment, or bank account transfer (soles and dollars).

If the class cannot be done in Mancora, we leave for another nearby beach, without any additional charge.
If we don't find wind on the other beaches either, we plan it for another day, and if you don't have the possibility to postpone the date, we do not charge you anything for the hours of class not done.

For any country of departure, we advise you to search www.skyscanner.com for your flights, it is the easiest site to use and with the best rates.
If you come from Europe, the cheapest option is leaving from Spain.
Once you have chosen your flight, it is always preferable to book your flight on the airline's website.
In case you have any problem, it will always be easier to communicate with the company's call center than with those of the reservation platforms.

You can choose between 2 options:

The plane: With a flight to Piura, Tumbes or Talara.
Piura is 2h30 from Máncora by taxi, Tumbes 1h45 and Talara 1 hour away. Through Talara, you will find at least 3 flights per day.

Tips :

If you include stopovers to the final destination from your point of origin, make sure you have enough time for the stopover in Lima (2h30 hours minimum), to have time to clear customs and check-in again without any setbacks.

Check with the company if your luggage will go directly to its final destination and that you do not have to pick it up in Lima

The bus:

The Peruvian bus network is highly developed. There are at least 20 daily departures from Lima to Mancora.
We advise you to choose between Cruz del Sur, Oltursa or Civa (Excluciva or Superciva) since they are the most comfortable and reliable companies.

The safest and fastest way to arrive in Mancora is with a taxi, you will always find safe taxis at the exit door of the airport (we advise you never to take one outside the airport).

If you need it, we can coordinate a taxi for you!

If you want a cheaper option, we advise you to take the local bus “EPPO” that connects Piura/ Talara to Mancora.

You can take a motorcycle taxi from the airport to the EPPO location (if you come with a lot of luggage, this option will be a little more complicated).

The updated taxi prices are:

- Talara/ Mancora: 150 soles
- Tumbes / Mancora: 180 soles
