SA Kitesurf Adventures

SAK is where the ride of your life begins! We are an International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO) school and we provide the highest standard of professional IKO certified kiteboarding lessons in the Columbia River Gorge and in the Tampa Bay area. Because kiteboarding is a seasonal sport, we operate lessons in Lyle, Washington from June to September and in St. Petersburg, FL from October to May so you can kiteboard year round. Whether you are a beginner or advanced rider, we have a package just for you. We also run kite camps and clinics locally and international kiteboarding trips to South Africa annually. When you choose SAK you are joining a community of adventurers, thrill-seekers, and outdoor enthusiasts who have a passion for life, love for the Earth, and commitment to sharing kiteboarding with as many people as possible! As a proud member of various non-profit organizations, your kiteboarding lessons with us will also help to support and protect the environment and through our Sponsor a Student program you get to be part of bringing the dream of kiteboarding to our youth.

PureStoke

We have been in business for 34 years – you may be familiar with us by our former name, 2nd Wind Sports! Pure Stoke® has the SAME OWNERS, the SAME GREAT IN-STORE CONSIGNMENT PROGRAM, the SAME PLEDGE TO EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, the SAME 4-SEASON GORGE SPORTS OUTFITTER, and is in the SAME LOCATION! So, why did we change our name if everything is essentially the same? We changed our name because we have outgrown our former name of 2nd Wind Sports! We are so much more than what comes to mind when you think of 2nd Wind Sports. Pure Stoke® has evolved over the last 34 years into a 4-season premium outdoor retailer, equipping you with not just gear for the wind and not just 2nd hand gear. In the summer we feature everything you need for kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, camping, hiking and skateboarding as well as all the local knowledge plus hands-on gear knowledge that you want to know! In the winter we turn our attention to downhill skiing, cross-country and skate skiing as well as snowboarding and back-country accessing gear with avalanche safety equipment, winter camping gear, snowshoes, and all the books.
