Playacar Fase 1 Kiteboarding Area.

Thanks to few Local Riders from Playa del Carmen area, Solidaridad, Ayutamiento, Zofemat, la AKQR(Asociacion de Kitesurfing de Quintana Roo) y PDCK( Playa del Carmen Kiteboarding School) we finaly could install the "Rules and Area map" sign on the beach of Playacar Fase 1 in Playacar Residential Area, Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

From Playacar Fase 1 Kiteaboarding Area

The Launching and Landing zone is located about 300 meters south of "Xaman Ha condominio" beach and authorized the kites up to 25m north and 25m south of the sign.

While on the beach, the kites have to be parked the closest to the sign as possible and lines must be rolled up onto the bar.

While riding, keep your distance from shore( about 50m away from the shore line), do not jump or practice tricks close to shore to avoid disturbing or molesting the other beach users.
RESPECT OTHERS!

This new area is open for EXPERIENCED/ INDEPENDENT RIDERS ONLY! You have to be able to ride upwind to start and end up your session within the designated area.
Evaluate the wind condition first, if it won t be strong enough to allow you riding upwind.......DON T EVEN TRY!

If you plan to go for a Downwind ride, make sure you look up the map to choose your landing area/beach!

We remember you that one of the condition we have to follow in order to keep this area open to Kiteboarding is that NO TEACHING WILL BE PERMITED in the designated area!

Please contact the AKQR to know about the different Kiteboarding schools in Quintana Roo or pdckiteboarding@gmail.com about Kiteboarding in Playa del Carmen.

Kiteboarding Zone in PDC for 2010/2011 wind Season

Playa del Carmen Kiteboarding Areas for coming 2010/2011 Wind season.
Thanks to the work of “PDC KITEBOARDING”(Sandos Playacar Kiteboarding School), the AKQR(Associacion de Kitesurfing de Quintana Roo), ZOFEMAT(Zona Federal Marítimo Terrestre) and the support and help of few local Kiteboarders, we finally could organize and rule 4 different Kitesurfing Areas on 4 different beaches in Playa del Carmen with a designated “Kiteboarding Launching Zone” where EXPERIENCED and CERTIFIED riders will be able to Launch and Land there kites in total respect to other “beach goes” and swimmers!

For beginners and non certified riders, the School of PDC Kiteboarding offers IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) certification courses given by experienced and IKO certified Instructors at their beach location: The Sandos Playacar Resort beach. (ex Gala Resort beach).
The school is the only Certified and Authorized center in Playa del Carmen.







Those 4 Kiteboarding Zone are the following:
*Sandos Playacar Resort Beach/PDC Kiteboarding School
*Playacar Phase 1 (Next to Xaman Ha condos)
*Coco Beach, about 300m north of the Grand Coco Beach Resort
*Xcalacoco

At each of those Kite Zone will be very soon installed by ZOFEMAT(in coordination with PDC Kiteboarding and the AKQR) a sign and map showing the exact “Designated Kite Area” and special rules for Kiteboarders and “beach users”.





The goal of this action is to allow the practice of this amazing sport while respecting the other water activities and other beach users!

It is very important that Kiteboarders respect those rules to be able to keep practicing our sport in the future in our hometown!!!
