South Padre Island Watersports

"This place is really cool! Family of 5 (wife, 7 year old twins, 9 year old, and my self) rented paddle boards ( for the first time). Staff was really good. Instructions were detailed and inspired confidence. Definitely recommend for families to try. We’ll be back."

"My wife and I took kiteboarding lessons from Captain Jeff and were very pleased with his services. He was an excellent communicator and we both made significant gains in our kiteboarding skills. Jeff was able to make very understandable and specific instructions over a wireless headset while we were kiting that gave us immediate feedback simultaneous to what we were doing. This was very helpful, and his teaching was more effective than any other previous lessons we have taken. We also benefited from his taking us to the area of the bay in his boat, where the conditions were optimal for what we were working on. We highly recommend him to others wanting to improve their kiteboarding."

"My husband and I took a 4 day beginner lesson with Jeff at Air Padre. Jeff is very knowledgeable, patient and an overall amazing instructor! He took us out on the boat for the days we were on the water, and when doing body drags and getting on the board to ride he would follow all the while giving instruction over a head set. Allowing for constant instruction. I can not recommend Jeff enough if you want to learn or just improve your kite boarding at any level. We will definitely be back for more!!"

"Sign up you won’t go wrong!! I’m a 57 yo female- no kiting/surfing/boarding experience. Jeff provided me with step by step coaching-and practices safety first always- encouraged me on rough days and when I struggled with the lesson he didn’t end at the end of the day- he went home and thought about different ways he could get me to where I wanted to be. His equipment is clean/maintained and he provided a valet type service. His boat was fantastic- on cold and windy days. The ride out and back was spent talking about skills (bonus time)! His shop was well stocked. He was timely and kept me updated on wind everyday we were scheduled. ***He also earned badges for surfing and fishing!! - He taught my grandson (9 yr old ) beginning skills to stand/surf in an hour! *** Deep sea fishing excursion on a low wind day and had fantastic catches (30 snd 26,, and 24 inch red snappers!!! *** Rented a paddle board one night for a sunset on the bay"

"We rented a tandem kayak to take our corgis on the water. Check-in was quick and the staff are helpful and friendly. We had a good time and so did our corgis. Would definitely go back when we’re South Padre again."
