Kitesurfing Day 1 (Complete Beginner)

• Learn basic kite-flying skills on land before heading into the water
• Fly an LEI kite in the water and practise body dragging
• Build skills in generating power, stability, direction and control
• Learn how to self-rescue in the water

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!).
