About
Earth Kitesurfing Byron Bay
We are blessed here in the Northern Rivers NSW, Australia with some amazing, uncrowded locations to learn. and countless opportunities both in the ocean waves and in flat water. This is perfect for students of any skill level, from complete beginners to experienced water people, to come and enjoy some time on the water.
Kitesurfing, hydro-foiling and wing foiling are pretty technical but relatively easy with the correct instruction. Harnessing the energy of the elements can be daunting and dangerous when you have little or no experience, which is why lessons with a professional school are highly recommended.

Meet the Family
We’re a family business operating since 2017, and we love sharing our passion for watersports!
With the desire to ‘sail their own ship’, so to speak and drawing on a combined skillset, Aaron (Director and principal instructor) and Fiona (Pilates teacher and co-Director) established Earth Kitesurfing.
Aaron’s expertise in water sports merged with Fiona’s varied skills of coaching, competing and business launched Earth Kitesurfing, not long after the arrival of their son Tully in 2017. Since then, they have been developing this business and coaching in various water sports. Tully is as keen as his Mum and Dad to get out on the water, and they all play a part in owning and running this small family business. They want you to enjoy the wonderful water playground on offer in this beautiful part of Australia.
Earth Kitesurfing operates in the Northern Rivers, NSW & Southern Queensland. Kitesurfing lessons, Wing Foil and Hydrofoil lessons are instructed in and around the beautiful Byron Bay, Ballina and Lennox Head regions. Our Southern Queensland lessons are located on the famous Gold Coast.

What our Students Say
Best Spots
Our Favourite Kitesurfing Locations
Our favourite Kitesurfing spots in Northern NSW and Gold Coast
Kitesurfing Lessons Byron Bay
Byron Bay offers some great Kitesurfing locations. Whilst the popular tourists spots such as Main Beach, The Pass & Wategos get too busy to safely allow Kitesurfing lessons, we know of plenty quiet stretches of sand where we can get away from the crowds and allow you the space to take to the water safely. Some of our favourite locations around the Byron Bay area are just to the south, Lennox Head and Balina!
Kitesurfing Lessons Lennox Head
Lennox Head’s Seven Mile Beach is one of our favourite locations an ideal spot for your first Kitesurfing lesson on the beach and riding the waves in the surf. Set against the stunning backdrop of Pat Morton Headland this long stretch of sand provides plenty of space away from the crowds.
Kitesurfing Lessons Ballina
Ballina is a great spot to get you up and riding in flat water. The River Richmond offers a variety of shallow flat water spots that are the perfect environment for beginners and intermediate kite surfers not yet ready to venture out into deep water at the beach.
Kitesurfing Lessons Gold Coast
We teach Kitesurfing on the Gold Coast near Southport & Runaway Bay. This is a great spot to teach as it is a safe flat water location on the Gold Coast. On the day of your Lesson we will inform you of the best meeting spot, we are usually in the shallow waters off Broadwater tourist Park.
