Mallorca kite school was created as a consequence of the compulsory legal requisites regarding our primary initiative, which was to create a non profit kitesurfing club which could provide support and help to the numerous kiters that had accessed to the sport without the necessary background and preparation to guarantee a safe practice.
It is known that kitesurfing is a extreme sport which is not quite free of some amount or degree of risk. ASOCIACION APRENDE A NAVEGAR was our first project and its goal was to avoid to kiters and beginners in Mallorca the possibility to get hurted during their practices, as well as to hurt others, which definitely, as it has been proved in other kite destinations, leading to bans and prohibitions.
LEGALIZE OUR KITESCHOOL
The legalization and inscription of our kite club in the Register of non profit associations of the GOVERN DE LES ILLES BALEARS in order to gain legal access to the beach, to proceed with our practices, took place in the year 2009. We were authorized by Coast and Marine authorities to the creation of a legalized kite school in which, when necessary, our kite club members could improve their skills or start their kitesurfing tuition.
