"If you are serious about “learning” to kiteboard you need the best instruction available and “REAL” is the best in the world – experienced, friendly coaches make you feel welcome, two students to one coach with a waverunner insures quick progress, and you can’t beat Cape Hatteras – warm water that’s 4 ft deep for as far as the eye can see." - Ken Walsh, Steamboat Springs, CO
We’re very proud to announce that Matt Nuzzo and Trip Forman were named among the “Top 10 Most Influential People in the History of Kiteboarding” by Kiteboarding Magazine.
Zero to Hero Camp: The Zero to Hero Kite Camp takes you from an absolute beginner to a self-sufficient kiteboarder! Our camp allows you to become fully immersed in kiteboarding for three full days with some of the best rider-coaches in the world. We’ve proved that back to back instructional days are the fastest way to become a kiteboarder and our Zero to Hero Camp provides complete beginners with the skills, knowledge and gear they need to become self-sufficient riders!!
Zero to Hero breaks down the sport of kiteboarding into the digestible parts of flying the kite and riding the board. Once you have mastered both skills you combine them and become a kiteboarder!!
You'll learn everything about the kite - how to rig it, fly it, launch it, land it, self-rescue, re-launch it from the water, power it up, depower it, how the safety systems work and how to fix your kite if it breaks or rips. After our certified REAL Coaches get you dialed in, we take you to the water for some serious riding!
In the water, body drags come first, and then you will move right into your first board starts. Once you're up on the board, let 'er rip because there's no walking upwind in this camp!
Goals of the Camp: The ultimate goal of our Zero to Hero Camp is for you to become a kiteboarder!! In order to get you there, we’ve developed a well thought out plan for each camp that will make you a safe, self-sufficient rider. Self-sufficiency means that upon completion of the camp, graduates will always be able to practice the skills learned on their own. Students are thus able to confidently acquire valuable time on the water once their lessons are complete – a key element to becoming a successful kiteboarder.
Zero to Hero divides kiteboarding into 5 separate goals that we’ll focus on during each of your camp sessions. Essentially, these include; flying the kite, riding the board and learning all the information involved to keep you safe and get you ripping!!
Kiteboarding is not only the ability to ride well, but also the ability to ride safely and conduct yourself properly on land and water. This camp addresses all three topics and sends you home with the skills you need to keep progressing!
