Harness the elements of wind and water in this three day course
Head down to the beach and get involved with this fast-growing sport through this introductory course - perfect for anyone interested in taking up kitesurfing. After going through the basic elements of safety you will head straight to the water to put all the theory into practice, learning core elements of the sport and getting your confidence on the board. The power of the kite combined with the unpredictability of the surf make this exhilarating sport addictive - you’ll be hooked!
Sessions begin in the morning (start time depends on the tides). This three day course consists of 6-7 hours of tuition each day, divided into two lessons. You will be taught by qualified instructors and the basic itinerary is as follows: Day 1 - First you will go through the basic elements of safety and some basic physics to do with flight. After that it is into the water with the kites where you can put all this theory into practice. You will use 2-line inflatable kites that can be relaunched from the water. For the remainder of the day you'll be flying the kites, learning how to "body-surf" using the kite for power, and learning to relaunch them. Days 2 & 3 - After practising self-rescue techniques you will get back on the board and are taught how to water start, plane and edge. You will get plenty of practise riding on these days to perfect your techniques and, if you are looking to purchase some kitesurfing equipment yourself, advice on which would be best for you.
