Christmas Kiteboarding in El Cuyo

What a perfect Christmas in El Cuyo, Mexico!  You know you have a good kiting group chat when you initiate a kiteboarding costume theme day with 4 hours of notice... And everyone delivers!  This is no easy ask…If you have been to El Cuyo, you will understand how challenging it can be to throw together a theme costume here.  Very limited supplies.

Ask: Wear Christmas Hats & Red...

Well done @mandajeney and the MiniMarket El Farito for having the perfect hats & t-shirts to pull it all together.  We all look like a bunch of Christmas Elves + Reindeer scurrying across the water.  Hilarious. Smiles were plentiful and the red really makes these photos even better.

Kite season is just getting started and we are looking forward to another amazing 2025/2026 season in El Cuyo Mexico at Downwind Deck. Efoils, Kiteboarding, Kitesurfing, Wing Foiling, Kite Foiling, Paddleboarding…if it’s a water sport we are here to help accommodate. Wind has been a steady 15-20+ knots almost daily.

As always hotel guests have top priority in equipment rentals and photography sessions.

Christmas Eve Kiteboarding

Santa came early this year and we couldnt be more blessed. Smiles all around at El Cuyo Kite Beach in Mexico as Santa brought us another sweet windy day. Kites sizes varying from 9m to 15m dotted the sky. While a few wingers and a wind surfer tested their skills.

My guess 18-22knots.

Bikinis out, no wetsuits needed here, it is a warm start to the season and we are throughly enjoying it.

For those to exhausted to cook Chef Marcos @marcos.at.work prepared an amazing Christmas Feast - Para Llevar style. Meaty, hearty and flavorful, it was much needed after a sweet kite session. Sorry I was too hungry and ate before taking photos. But I assure it was magical. A perfect Christmas Feast, the Grinch would have stole it. And the Whos would have sang about it in the finale.

As always, Downwind Deck hotel guests always get photo priority.

The Art of Burning Food. Purposely.

We are kicking off the season with fire! Downwind Deck has teamed up with Chef Marcos to create a unique culinary experience.

The Request: We would like to learn how to cook something. Ideally, it would require some secrets or tricks of the trade. We could make tortillas and learn how to make the dough correctly. Is this type of "excursion" something you can help us setup?

Downwind Deck and Chef Marcos provided tortillas and more for 6 guests. The night was full of laughs, learnings and mouth watering flavors. Ceviche, Lobster, Fire Pit Grilled Beef, Tortillas and Sweet Crepes and much more (The full menu shown below).

For the tiny town of El Cuyo, this was a unique experience and a fantastic addition to the Downwind Deck services. Thank you to our guests for challenging us to provide a new experience. Thank you Chef Marcos @Marcos.at.work for crushing it!
