Directional Surfboard Clinic

• Ride a higher-volume directional board that floats in lighter winds
• Practise jibes and strapless riding with a few pointers
• Carve turns and throw spray as your riding develops

Riding a kite specific surfboard (Directional) is great fun and allows you to get up and going in lighter winds than on a regular kiteboard due these boards generally having a higher volume, (more floaty). Many people are

Intimidated though with having to learn to Jibe or the challenges of riding strapless. But fear not, with a few pointers you will soon be charging around, carving nice turns & throwing lots of spray!
