Kitesurf introductory course - half day
Details
We’re getting ready for a morning of fun, confidence, and connection on (and off) the water! 🌊✨
We have 10 spots for beginners who want an introduction to kitesurfing. We'll go as a group together and support each other as we give it a go - falling is expected and very much allowed! This is your chance to meet other adventurous women, cheer each other on, and catch the kitesurf bug.
Kitesurf introductory course
3 hours to learn the basics in a fun and supportive environment.
- Kite Control
Start with kite control using a training kite. Then you'll learn how to assemble a kite and bar and see how the simple safety system works. We'll finish the beach portion by flying a larger kite to familiarize yourself with more power. - Body Drag
In the second part of this kitesurfing lesson, we'll take the kite out on the water. You'll practice control and safety. After that, you'll be ready to understand the kite's power and fly across the water like Superman. This is called 'body dragging'. You'll also learn how to relaunch the kite from the water.
After this course, the next recommended step is to take our Kitesurfing Progression course.
