What You Will Learn

The goal of the beginner course is to enable you to become an independent rider, which includes learning how to handle any type of kitesurf equipment and how to practice independently in complete safety.

First stage

You will learn how to fly the kite, first using a smaller kite (trainer kite) and then with a normal-sized but underpowered kite. You will be able to practice in total safety.

Once you learn kite control you will continue with:

  • Techniques to move through the water without the board (body drag)
  • How to recover the board when it is behind you (upwind body drag)
  • Techniques for relaunching the kite from the water and self rescuing

Second stage

The second half of the course focuses on performing successful water starts until you are able to ride your first tacks safely. At that point you will be ready to kitesurf on your own. We recommend to always practice under the supervision of a school instructor.
