What you'll see

Kitesurfing has evolved into one of the most amazing and safest sports ever. Nowadays, with all the technology the kitesurf world has, control and comfort is easily achievable. 10 year old children are already old enough to begin! The sport is super dynamic. You could enjoy the peaceful feeling of sailing and explore the ocean and its wonderful qualities, or ride out to the Pit and surf waves like never before. Or look for some adrenaline and learn how to jump high and boost tricks! There are endless possibilities. The only requirement it going step by step with the proper lessons.

1 Day - The day begins with talking about safety, learning about wind theory and the wind window. Then, it's time to prepare the trainer kite and star piloting it across the wind window. Dominate it with two hands and after that, try with only one hand. Later on, it is time to learn about all the different equipment used, and learn how to prepare it and all the safety it has.

2 Day - Includes the first day of introduction. Next, prepare a full sized kite and learn to control it in the water. Practice different water relaunch techniques. At the end, you will have dominated downwind body dragging doing full continuous powerstrokes and feeling the full power of the kite for the first time!

3 Day - Includes the first two days of introduction. Then learn the upwind bodydragging technique, used to recover the board. This is the best part: time to waterstart! You'll learn to ride the board on both directions!
