The first day of the rest of your life! A group day course for complete beginners

Description

The first day of the rest of your life!

Your first day kitesurfing lesson will introduce you to basic flying skills (BKSA L1, P1) and then on to flying an LEI kite in the water & body dragging, generating power, stability, direction and control, as well as teaching how to self rescue yourself (BKSA L1, P2, 3 & 4).

Once people have mastered this, they are ready for the board (L2!).


If you want to book a multi-day course then head over to the 'Class Passes' section where you can purchase either a 2 day or 3 day course at a discount - the best way of getting a solid foundation for kiting.
