Itinerary

This one day course will give you all the fundamentals of kiteflying (which is 90% what kitesurfing is all about) and give you an introduction to all the equipment, kiteboards, kitesurf kites and safety.

The fun really starts when you hit the water and start practicing body dragging (which is being pulled over the water by the kite), this is when you will really start to appreciate the power that these kites generate.

By the end of the day, depending on your progress, you might start putting your new skills together and start attempting some board starts.
