Do I need experience to book a kitesurfing lesson?
Yes, a little. Before the 2 Hour Kitesurfing Lesson or 3 Hour Kite Surfing Lesson you need to have done a kitesurfing intro session covering safety, set-up and flying a trainer kite. Without it the team can't let you join the group, as the lesson builds on those skills.

No. The RYA Learn to Wingsurf Intro Session is designed for people with little or no experience, and it is required for anyone new to the sport before a water lesson.
How many people are in a lesson?
Kitesurfing and wing lessons are semi-private, for up to four people. If more than two people are booked, the lesson is extended by an hour, and on weekends you may share your session with others.
What happens if the wind or tide isn't right?
Kitesurfing and wing lessons are timed around wind and tide, so start times can move on the day or a session may be rescheduled if there's no wind. The team checks the forecast and lets you know the day before.
What should I bring to a kitesurfing or wing surfing lesson?
It's a good idea to bring:
- Swimwear to wear under a wetsuit
- A towel and a warm change of clothes
- Water shoes or wetsuit boots if you have them
- Suncream, a water bottle and a snack

Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. Groups are small, with up to four people, and sessions are planned around the wind and tide, so booking online with Get Kiteboarding ahead of time is the easiest way to secure your place.
