     Land Based Lesson ( Beginner 1)

     Kitesurfing in New York (United States) with NY Kiteboard
 
LAND LESSON-LEVEL 1 (1 hour)

Learn and understand " The Wind Window " on site. Students will have a hands on experience with a trainer kite. They will learn how to set up, launch, fly, and land a trainer kite. This lesson will allow students to apply and comprehend the discussed topics on theory class. Students will develop essential skills to later fly a power kite. Instructors will emphasize on flight control, arms, hands and body position in order to build flying skills. Until confidence, control, and skills are not developed, a sequence of exercises will be given. As students progress in their abilities, instructors will gradually introduce them to bigger and more powerful kites. This process will depend on individual's ability to digest the theory and apply the proper technique in order to fly a power kite safely. Our instructors are trained and will not speed the process if there is noticeable fear and/or lack of understanding.
