8 HOURS BASIC COURSE

(2-3 days, weather dependent)

THEORY AND TRAINER KITE - land training. We learn the basics of how a kite flies, the direction and strength of the wind, how to steer a kite and gain an understanding of the “wind window”.

EQUIPMENT SET-UP AND SAFETY - Learn how to set up all the equipment relevant for kitesurfing. Students also learn about the safety system and gain the necessary skills to stay safe on the water.

FIRST FLIGHT - Mastering control of the kite is very important before trying to get on the board. We spend an hour or so doing various exercises in the water with the kite only, until each student is comfortable and displays reasonable skill with the kite.

BODYDRAGS - manoeuvring through the water while steering the kite. This is the next necessary step for better kite control and will eventually help towards getting on the board.

BOARD ENTRY AND WATER STARTS - finally, all the components come together! Putting our kite control skills to use, students learn how to enter the board safely and attempt their first water starts!

NB: Everyone is different! Some people need a bit more time to learn and some might need less. It is not guaranteed you will be up and riding after an 8 hour course. Our main goal is to ensure the safety of our students and to get everyone to a point of being able to practice safely, independently and with confidence.
