Beginners
Kite-surfing is challenging, both mentally and physically. Having a strong foundation in safety and technique is essential to gaining proficiency at this sport.
With that in mind, our training sessions are focused and intensive - we allow a maximum of 2 students per teacher.
While you can't expect to be able to fly over the moon or beat the speed of sound after your first lesson, this essential introductory course will give you a solid base from which to progress, and get you ready for more advanced, fun techniques!
To join our courses you need a basic level of fitness and to be able to swim reasonably well.
If you have already taken a kite-surfing course, or just a trial lesson, and want to take your skills to the next level, we got you covered.
Video Coaching: Our expert instructors will record and analyze your technique and show you the steps forward to truly master the waves!
At the end of the lesson, you can keep the video and pictures as a memento!
