Urla Kite Center

About Urla Kite Center

Urla Kite Center, known as UKC, is a kitesurf school and Duotone Pro Center at Gülbahçe harbour in Urla. The school highlights the flat, shallow water and wide riding area at Gülbahçe, which it calls the best kitesurf spot in Turkey. Professional instructors teach with current Duotone Kiteboarding equipment, and the school says this helps students learn up to 30 percent faster. Beyond lessons, UKC rents out Duotone kites and boards that are checked and test-flown every week, runs a Duotone shop, offers kite repair and maintenance, and acts as a test centre where riders can try the latest models before buying. A maintained rescue boat is on duty from sunrise to sunset through the season, and members get discounts. Kite-and-stay packages combine lessons with accommodation at the nearby Urla Burlahan Otel. Bookings, courses and member logins have moved to the school's new online booking platform.
