I have no association with Kirk other than I have frequented the shop.\r
\r
Just wanna say Captain Kirk is a wonderful shop for windsurfing, kiting, and sup needs. Captain Kirks does board repair, sail repair and shares years of sail knowledge and water wisdom. They alway have the piece of hardware you need to go sail that day. Kirk and his team sail local and have the product experince to meet your needs. \r
\r
They also are really willing to talk to people and understand what they need in terms of gear and advice. Haven't been to Mexico yet but I heard Kirk's place is very nice also.\r

Couple comments on the comments:\r

Every kiteboard / windsurf school first lesson is on the land. You spend time understand concepts and safety before entering the water. Then you progress to kite control, kite power, and the basisc of water starting.. At the end of this lesson you should have the skills to go on the water safely. Yes you learn how to fly a kiteboard rig safely so you can go KITE-board safely. \r

Also takes some gaul to complain about canceling the day of an event and still being charged. That is standard practice and you would find same thing in Hawaii or any resort destination.
