About this experience

This course is the most demanded by our clients and with better results in relation to the quality of the classes and the price of the hour. You have exclusive material for you and you only share the monitor, you must bear in mind that the monitor does not need to have 100% with you unless it requires extra attention (child, little time to learn, etc.) and you mark your own rhythm and your monitor shows you the way forward to be an authentic kitesurfer. Always expecting that an experienced monitor like those who make up our kite school can have 2 maximum kites at their charge.

The monitors of the school are the owners of the same and teach kitesurfing courses of all levels, personally and under its supervision since 2003, having an experience in the kite teaching sector for the safety and enjoyment of this wonderful sport.
