About us
More than a kite school: a community
Since 2025 JC Kite School is run by Maya and Francesco. We renewed everything – a brand new Duotone 2027 fleet, a new beach base, accommodation, kite trips and online booking – and every season more kiters join our community.
But what our guests remember most are the people: kiters from all over the world who learn together, ride together and leave as friends.
Our storyReviews
What our students say
Maya and Francesco are two incredible young people who have created something truly special in Watamu: passionate, professional instructors and top-quality Duotone equipment.
We came to Watamu planning to stay for one week… ended up staying 3 weeks. That probably says it all.
I discovered kitesurfing for the first time with my two kids (11 and 16): after 3 days we were all already riding on the water. Super school, super instructors and safety.
Super new equipment, top of the range… a rescue boat is available for any eventuality and the staff is very attentive.
I started from scratch and thanks to the patience and professionalism of the instructors I brought home great satisfaction.
A truly fantastic kitesurfing school! I learned a lot and had great instructors. Fair prices and all safety standards!
