Kiteboarding is the latest extreme sport that is providing an adrenalin rush to anyone who loves the outdoors. In this course we will take you from safety and kite setup all the way through to being in the water with kite and board.

Our kite surfing 6 hour course is run over 2 days, consisting of 3 hours each day.

We will start with the basics of kite surfing including safety, equipment set-up, wind effects, kite control and launching and landing your kite on the beach. We will get you in the water bodydragging on day 1. On day 2 we will get you back in the water bodydragging and when you are comfortable with the kite we will introduce the board and hope to have you up and riding at the completion of the course.

All equipment for the lesson is provided, you just need to come dressed in your swimmers / boardies and wetsuit if you feel the cold to experience the thrill of kiteboarding.

We issue an IKO Kiteboarder card once you have reached a certain level. The back of the card marks your progress and status. This is required for subsequent lessons anywhere in the world and if at a later stage you wish to hire equipment.
