We had a great experience at Awa Salu Kiteboarding! Kim was easy to communicate with and flexible with our travel plans. I had a 3-day lesson with Richard and guest instructor, Sophie. Both were great teachers and made for a wonderful first experience with the sport!
Kim is an amazing teacher, being very clear immediately on the safety measures, how a kite works and what could happen which made us as a couple feel great from the start!Next to that she adds in a lot humor and patience making it an amazing experience and will recommend her for any beginner!
Awa Salu Kiteboarding gets my highest recommendation! I reached out to Kim and I knew from the start she was very professional, knowledgeable and fun. I had taken a few lessons before, but Kim taught me new theory and new skills and above all made the lessons so much fun. She gave me confidence to continue and hopefully I will be back soon!!
The instructors at Awasalu are highly skilled and incredibly patient. Whether you're a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, they tailor their lessons to your level, ensuring you progress quickly and safely. Their passion for kiteboarding is contagious, and their friendly demeanor makes the learning process enjoyable.
Kim is a super nice kite instructor! After my lessons, Kim was always ready to help me practice and get into the water.
I can’t say enough about how friendly , supportive and patient Kim was with my wife on her day 1 kiteboarding demo . My wife was nervous and apprehensive about strapping on a kite , but Kim was so fun , chill and relaxed , and that definitely rubbed off on this first timer !! We are running out of days on this trip but will definitely be back to do the full course .If you are coming to Curaçao and want to learn to Kite , look no further than Kim at Awa Salu . She’s awesome !!!
I had an absolutely incredible experience with Kim kitesurfing school and her as instructor. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her teaching skills are truly outstanding – she know exactly how to guide me to the point, make you feel safe and comfortable, and encourage you to improve quickly. Kim is not only highly experienced but also deeply passionate about Kite. Each lesson was an unforgettable experience, not only because of how much my skills improved but also because of the great communication and the overall positive and uplifting atmosphere. These classes were exceptional on every level!
Kim is super friendly, helps you with everything you need and is super patient! The Spot is very safe and suitable for sailing and having fun!
We were ready for some great kiting at Jorisbaai, but needed some unexpected assistance to get going. kim at Awa Salu was really kind and went out of her way to help us get going, she was great and very good fun!
I had three days of kite lessons with Kim, learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Kim is an extremely enthusiastic, cheerful and experienced kiter. Safety is her top priority and she has good kite materials. Kim is clear in her explanation and knows what she is doing. She quickly understands what you need to improve and can help you make enormous progress with a few simple tips. In addition, fun is guaranteed with Kim on the water. I would recommend her to everyone!
I had a great kite lesson here! Kim (instructor) is super thorough and patient with every step, explaining very well and making sure you understand all the basics. Her enthusiasm and excitement when you get it right make the class fly by! Can only recommend!
I did a 3-hour initiation class with teacher Kim. Kim is a very good teacher, she is very patient, she is very pedagogical and attentive, and she is super cool. It explains how to install the material before going to the water, step by step.I recommend it 100%! 🙂
Kim creates an excellent atmosphere. As a result, I learned a lot in a short time and had fun at the same time. Thank you!
Learning to kite was amazing with Kim! I felt very safe and learned something new every lesson, while Kim always stayed patient and calm, but also pushed me to go further! The location is great. 10/10 would recommend!
Learn to kiteboard in 5 lessons. Teacher: Kim is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and teaches you at your pace. Had a fantastic time here and made a new friend! Can highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you Awa Salu, see you next year!
Definitely recommended for kitesurfing in Curacao! Kim has arranged everything well, gives good tips and, above all, ensures a safe and enjoyable lesson. The location is also excellent for learning it. We will definitely come back!
Kim is the best, full stop. Aside from being a fantastic teacher, she was incredibly helpful, flexible and communicative about everything leading up to our classes, and her excitement about me making very minor improvements day-by-day was really infectious and made the entire experience that much more fun. She knew exactly how to use the fact that I had surfing/wakeboard/practice kite experience, which was really nice, and she was so patient with me forgetting everything constantly. She helped set up a car and pickup/dropoffs for me, and everything was well worth the price. I cannot recommend her enough and hope to take more classes with her soon! Just a note that she prefers cash and most ATMs charge flat rate $10USD per transaction so set aside your USD beforehand. Stop by Kuminda Surinam on the way back to Willemstad.
Kim is a super good teacher and taught us everything we need to know about kiting!
Kim is really fantastic! I had already had a number of lessons and had not yet mastered kiting. With Kim's instructions, I suddenly felt more at one with the kite and it all felt much more natural! You're great Kim, see you next year!
Kimberley is the best instructor I have ever had, and I learned with many. Now I feel confident to kiting on my own. On top of that she is super fun!! I can 100% recommend her lessons, plus the location is perfect for learning and having fun kitesurfing!!
Had an amazing experience here! I had a rough understanding and knowledge about kiting before but coming here definitely made me improve way faster then anywhere else, by far the best instruction we have ever had, and we have experienced 4/5 different instructors and their styles. Could not recommend this place enough, from beginner or just want to improve, this is the place to go! Thank you so much!
After 4 lessons I was able to kite independently. I am grateful to Kim and can recommend it to everyone 🙂
Kitesurfing with KimWhat a great lesson I got from Kim, at St Joris Bay. She really took her time, gave very useful tips, and waited just as long for me to come back and forth. Thanks Kim, I'll come again!
Masha thanks Kim! Learned and unlearned a lot in 3 days! You continuously radiate peace and confidence and you have a keen eye for what your students find exciting and need to take a step further at their own pace. The kite is no longer scary, but just 'a piece of cloth'. 😉 I recommend everyone to take kite lessons at Awa Salu on Curacao!

Kimberly was FANTASTIC and fun to learn with! I recommend this course to anyone thinking about learn to kite board. It was my first time and she actually got me up on the board on the first lesson.

Her enthusiasm was infectious and we laughed a lot during the time we had. I will seek her out exclusively when I come to Curaçao again.

Kitesurfing with KimWhat a great lesson I got from Kim, at St Joris Bay. She really took her time, gave very useful tips, and waited just as long for me to come back and forth. Thanks Kim, I'll come again!
Masha thanks Kim! Learned and unlearned a lot in 3 days! You continuously radiate peace and confidence and you have a keen eye for what your students find exciting and need to take a step further at their own pace. The kite is no longer scary, but just 'a piece of cloth'. 😉 I recommend everyone to take kite lessons at Awa Salu on Curacao!

Fantastic Kite Surfing Experience!I recently had the pleasure of taking kite surfing lessons with Kim and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Instructor’s expertise and passion for kite surfing were evident, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective.
Kim is amazing instructor and experienced/passionate kiter, always willing to share her knowledge for you to improve quickly.We shared time on a combinationof insightful dry land routines and water time. Every minute worth it.Equipment provided was in perfect conditions and the best of all, a beautiful spot with all you need to improve and enjoy regardless of your level.Awa Salu is definitely the kite school to go in Curaçao!
Kimberly was FANTASTIC and fun to learn with! I recommend this course to anyone thinking about learn to kite board. It was my first time and she actually got me up on the board on the first lesson. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t stay up that long). The lesson(s) lasted about as long as I could last and she tailored everything to me and how I was progressing. Her enthusiasm was infectious and we laughed a lot during the time we had. I will seek her out exclusively when I come to Curaçao again.
EXPERIENCES
The voices of our Students & our awards received
We had a great experience at Awa Salu Kiteboarding! Kim was easy to communicate with and flexible with our travel plans. I had a 3-day lesson with Richard and guest instructor, Sophie. Both were great teachers and made for a wonderful first experience with the sport!
Kim is an amazing teacher, being very clear immediately on the safety measures, how a kite works and what could happen which made us as a couple feel great from the start!Next to that she adds in a lot humor and patience making it an amazing experience and will recommend her for any beginner!
Awa Salu Kiteboarding gets my highest recommendation! I reached out to Kim and I knew from the start she was very professional, knowledgeable and fun. I had taken a few lessons before, but Kim taught me new theory and new skills and above all made the lessons so much fun. She gave me confidence to continue and hopefully I will be back soon!!
The instructors at Awasalu are highly skilled and incredibly patient. Whether you're a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, they tailor their lessons to your level, ensuring you progress quickly and safely. Their passion for kiteboarding is contagious, and their friendly demeanor makes the learning process enjoyable.
Kim is a super nice kite instructor! After my lessons, Kim was always ready to help me practice and get into the water.
I can’t say enough about how friendly , supportive and patient Kim was with my wife on her day 1 kiteboarding demo . My wife was nervous and apprehensive about strapping on a kite , but Kim was so fun , chill and relaxed , and that definitely rubbed off on this first timer !! We are running out of days on this trip but will definitely be back to do the full course .If you are coming to Curaçao and want to learn to Kite , look no further than Kim at Awa Salu . She’s awesome !!!
I had an absolutely incredible experience with Kim kitesurfing school and her as instructor. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her teaching skills are truly outstanding – she know exactly how to guide me to the point, make you feel safe and comfortable, and encourage you to improve quickly. Kim is not only highly experienced but also deeply passionate about Kite. Each lesson was an unforgettable experience, not only because of how much my skills improved but also because of the great communication and the overall positive and uplifting atmosphere. These classes were exceptional on every level!
Kim is super friendly, helps you with everything you need and is super patient! The Spot is very safe and suitable for sailing and having fun!
We were ready for some great kiting at Jorisbaai, but needed some unexpected assistance to get going. kim at Awa Salu was really kind and went out of her way to help us get going, she was great and very good fun!
I had three days of kite lessons with Kim, learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Kim is an extremely enthusiastic, cheerful and experienced kiter. Safety is her top priority and she has good kite materials. Kim is clear in her explanation and knows what she is doing. She quickly understands what you need to improve and can help you make enormous progress with a few simple tips. In addition, fun is guaranteed with Kim on the water. I would recommend her to everyone!
I had a great kite lesson here! Kim (instructor) is super thorough and patient with every step, explaining very well and making sure you understand all the basics. Her enthusiasm and excitement when you get it right make the class fly by! Can only recommend!
I did a 3-hour initiation class with teacher Kim. Kim is a very good teacher, she is very patient, she is very pedagogical and attentive, and she is super cool. It explains how to install the material before going to the water, step by step.I recommend it 100%! 🙂
Kim creates an excellent atmosphere. As a result, I learned a lot in a short time and had fun at the same time. Thank you!
Learning to kite was amazing with Kim! I felt very safe and learned something new every lesson, while Kim always stayed patient and calm, but also pushed me to go further! The location is great. 10/10 would recommend!
Learn to kiteboard in 5 lessons. Teacher: Kim is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and teaches you at your pace. Had a fantastic time here and made a new friend! Can highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you Awa Salu, see you next year!
Definitely recommended for kitesurfing in Curacao! Kim has arranged everything well, gives good tips and, above all, ensures a safe and enjoyable lesson. The location is also excellent for learning it. We will definitely come back!
Kim is the best, full stop. Aside from being a fantastic teacher, she was incredibly helpful, flexible and communicative about everything leading up to our classes, and her excitement about me making very minor improvements day-by-day was really infectious and made the entire experience that much more fun. She knew exactly how to use the fact that I had surfing/wakeboard/practice kite experience, which was really nice, and she was so patient with me forgetting everything constantly. She helped set up a car and pickup/dropoffs for me, and everything was well worth the price. I cannot recommend her enough and hope to take more classes with her soon! Just a note that she prefers cash and most ATMs charge flat rate $10USD per transaction so set aside your USD beforehand. Stop by Kuminda Surinam on the way back to Willemstad.
Kim is a super good teacher and taught us everything we need to know about kiting!
Kim is really fantastic! I had already had a number of lessons and had not yet mastered kiting. With Kim's instructions, I suddenly felt more at one with the kite and it all felt much more natural! You're great Kim, see you next year!
Kimberley is the best instructor I have ever had, and I learned with many. Now I feel confident to kiting on my own. On top of that she is super fun!! I can 100% recommend her lessons, plus the location is perfect for learning and having fun kitesurfing!!
Had an amazing experience here! I had a rough understanding and knowledge about kiting before but coming here definitely made me improve way faster then anywhere else, by far the best instruction we have ever had, and we have experienced 4/5 different instructors and their styles. Could not recommend this place enough, from beginner or just want to improve, this is the place to go! Thank you so much!
