The new 16-acre Kite Park offers the best of both worlds: Flat water and wave riding.

The Kiteboarder and the South Padre Island Visitors Center are excited to bring you the SPI Kitexpo November 14-16, 2014. An annual event to be held at the new SPI Kite Ranch, come enjoy miles of flat water and wave riding and be some of the first to try out the new 2015 gear from participating brands. You just need to be an intermediate level or better rider, able to go upwind, self rescue and be comfortable riding with and around others.

The SPI Ranch is offering a discounted 3-day usage pass for just $10/car. Camping is only $5 per day (per car). We will also have a bonfire, BBQ and grand prize raffle drawing on the beach on Saturday night. Tickets will be $10/person for the BBQ and will be available on a first come, first serve basis limited to 125 people total. Stay tuned for BBQ ticket and Saturday night details!

Waves and fun downwinders can be found on the Gulf side of the SPI Kite Ranch.
