About your instructor

Hello, my name is Aaron Osters, and I would like to welcome you to Hawks Cay Resort.

Before moving to the Florida Keys I lived in Northeast Ohio, where I spent my free time boating and fishing on Lake Erie. I always dreamed of one day living in the Florida Keys, and in 2004 I made that dream a reality.

I grew up flying kites with my father and discovered two-line sport kites on a trip with him to Lake Erie’s Put-in-Bay Island. Soon after, I started flying two-line power kites and had people convince me that I needed to let the kite pull me on water skis. I thought they were crazy until I saw kiteboarding on TV for the first time.

After moving to the Florida Keys in 2004, I learned how to kiteboard and decided I wanted to become an instructor. I studied and received my Captain's license, Professional Air Sports Association (PASA) certification, and opened my own kiteboarding school.

Since then I have been blessed with the opportunity to spend my days kiteboarding in the Florida Keys, and my passion for the sport has grown with each ride. I am excited to have the opportunity to teach Hawks Cay guests how to kiteboard, and I look forward to spending time on the water with you during your Florida Keys vacation.

Kiteboarding is truly a wonderful and thrilling sport to learn, and I hope you give me the opportunity to share that experience with you.

Sincerely,
Aaron Osters
