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

SUP Kiting is a new sport where you stand on a super stable paddleboard being pulled around by a kite. Some of the benefits of SUP Kiting are that you can kite in much less wind (8 to 13 knots) than kiteboarding, the kite is easier to learn to control, it's a great introduction to kiteboarding, it's a great family sport, and it’s a ton of fun! This beginner class consists of a 30 to 45 minute ground school lesson and then a kite control lesson. We will teach you safety, how to body drag downwind and upwind, power kite strokes, launching and landing, self rescue, and much more as time permits. Once safe kite skills are developed and if time permits, we will start to learn how to ride the paddleboard.- 3 hour beginner paddleboard kiting (SUP Kiting) course - $300.00
- Spectators along for the ride. $40.00
COMING SOON: Sunrise Paddles, Sunset Paddles, Custom Tours, SUP Cleanup, Down Winders SUP Kiting & Races!
