WHAT DOES KITESURF / KITEBOARD MEAN ?
Kitesurf, which is a board sport based on wind control provided by kite, has become an increasing trend in recent years by increasing its popularity day by day. Although it looks like a power sport, it is a balance sport where you can balance the power with your body weight thanks to the trapeze attached to the waist and control the wind with the bar that acts as a steering wheel and the ride on the water with the board on your feet. Kitesurf, which can be easily done by all children over thirty kilograms and individuals of all ages, without the need for any sports infrastructure, is preferred by nature and sports lovers who want to get away from routine city life and relax.
KITEBASE GÖKOVA KITEBOARD SCHOOL
It was established in 2012 by Kivanc and Savas, two trainers who have transformed their board sports passion into a lifestyle, on the coast of Gökova / Akçapınar Kiteboard. The adventure that started with Kıvanç and Savaş, whose main coaching branches were snowboarding, took the form of Kartalkaya snowboard in winter and Kitebase Gökova kiteboard trainer in summer with the participation of teammates.

Cem Tunay Tuna
My journey with sports began at an early age. I was introduced to basketball, and the awards I won at a young age kept me connected to the courts. During my university years, I switched to American football with the Yeditepe Eagles – I didn't just compete on the court, I achieved success. I won the Turkish championship in handball. I became a player, and eventually, I moved into coaching. Whatever sport I played, I always played with my heart. Today, I combine my energy with the wind, creating a brand new balance on the water. For me, kite surfing is not just a sport; it's a combination of harmony with nature, body and intuition, and the freedom of the mind. I now share the experience I gained on the field with my students in the midst of the wind. From the first take-off to advanced techniques, I teach not only technique but also how to befriend the wind. As an instructor with a degree in gastronomy, I seek both the flavor and the rhythm of life. 🌬 Wherever the wind blows, I am there.
