School closed.

Okkite.com is permanently closed.  Thanks for all the fun times.  Oklahoma city was a wonderful experience where we made new friends and had a fantastic time for several years.

The owners moved to Hawaii to pursue new, exciting adventures.

If you're looking for lessons in the Oklahoma city area please visit

405kite.com

They're a well qualified and respected school but can book up fast.

We've heard great things about South Padre Island Texas schools as well that might have more availability.

Good luck!  See you on the water.

Closed for the Season

Windy season is currently over in Oklahoma. It goes until early July and usually returns around state fair time (September).

Okkite is not accepting any new lessons currently. If you have already purchased lessons or have questions please email info@okkite.com. Great year. Good wind.

The Season Has Arrived!!

This weekend is looking GLORIOUS.  Perfect wind. Water is warming up.  Grab your wetsuit, call in dead. It's High Time to Kite Time!

================================

10 or 12meter kites are your go-to for this weekend.  We're comfortable in 2.5mm suits (regular full summer suits) and booties.  Water temp is about that of a cold pool.  

Lessons slots are filling up fast. Hit us up and get on the water! 

New 2014 and used kites/equipment now in stock. See you out there.

How long til Summer again? 

Sometimes a plane ticket is value when it comes to maintaining your winter sanity.  

The great thing about winter is if you're already a pro, you grab your dry suit and take advantage of that powerful winter wind. (Blew 28mph in OKC Sunday, and looking good all week).

We've got WIND!!

You've waited.  You've dreamed. You've checked the forecast until your eyes crossed.  

-T-H-E   W-A-I-T   I-S   O-V-E-R-

Feast your kites upon 

Oh yeah, and as HQ's exclusive dealer, we now are the first in the entire midwest to bring you the new HQ "Ignition" kite.  HQ is know for the sickest trainer kites since the beginning of time.  They threw everything they had into making sure that if they were going to make a LEI water kite, it'd be incredible.  Well get your butt to the beach at Lake Hefner and try it out!  We're demoing the all new 2014 Ignition starting Thursday.  

HQ Powerkites "Ignition" from nonstoprevolution on Vimeo.

PSST.., this time of year is the cheapest kites get if you're buying gear.  We're blowing out all the 2013 new/demo kites because all the 2014 gear comes in over the next two weeks.

We've got new stuff, used school kites, and demos that have only been flown a couple times and are in like-new condition.  We'll also be taking trades in on equipment since most guys in the know buy this time of year so save max money and get the best stuff.

We can take cash or plastic right at the beach so bring your used stuff and upgrade to gear that will take you to the next level!

You can give Matt a call at 405.367.4403 or email us for daily updated current used inventory.  See you out there!

Video Post!

Alright.  About another week before the windy season picks back up, so what's a surfer to do?

Videos baby!

Sometimes you want to ride in the absolute lightest winds possible, which is usually about 12mph.  We can get it done on great big 14 and 16 meter kites.  They are a blast to fly and they pull like tractors. Everyone tells us we're crazy and to wait for more wind.  I guess they should tell this guy as well.

= 50 Meter Kite =

And here's Cabrinha's 2014 teaser video. Be careful with this one. After watching, you will have an intense urge to quit your job and go surfing forever.

And lastly, for those of you that wonder what a 790ft jump looks like.

August wind!!

Here comes the wind!!

Alright.  Starting off August with a bang.  Looks like Friday all day is going to be glorious.  Absolutely IDEAL kiting weather. Shuts down Saturday around 10am so you can still get an early session then as well.

See you on the water!!

Mash over to get your Naish!

Big News!!  Okkite has just become the newest Naish kiteboarding dealer.  

We couldn't be more stoked to bring you this line of gear.  Naish is a premium kite brand known for the sickest equipment, and looking good doing it.

Check it.

Windy Week!

You've got to love this. Perfect wind all week at lake Hefner.

Grab your 11 and 12 meter kites and the big board.  It's kiting time!

The water is warm so leave your wetsuits at home. It's board shorts and surfing time.

We'll be out all week surfing, jumping, teaching lessons, and having a blast.

See you out there!

Sometimes there's too much wind. May 20th Tornado Victims. Respect.

As Oklahomans and kiters, we know, love, respect, and sometimes fear the wind.  Our Okc offices have thankfully been missed by the storms, but our friends and families are all affected in some way.

Okkite instructor Nate McCubbin, is intimately familiar with the process, since not only was his home destroyed in the May 3rd, 1999 tornado as a child, leaving him in his boyscout uniform for days, but his former elementary school, Briarwood, was leveled during this May 20th storm. 

Nate has always spoken about that event as being a catalyst to getting involved in extreme sports as a validation and celebration of life. Life lived well and fully.

Just as we come together for fun and adventures, we come together for the tough times too.

Okkite.com is donating ALL proceeds from lessons booked this week to Redcross.org, the lead charity in the relief effort in South Okc/Moore.

Sincerely, - Okkite.com staff
