6 hours of group kiteboarding instruction for beginners. This course is designed to take beginners to an intermediate level quickly so they can practice safely on their own. Two students with one professional instructor. Perfect for first-timers who want to learn together while watching each other progress.
STEP ONE: Kite Skills
Start with a trainer kite on land to build essential steering reflexes. Learn wind direction, the wind window, power zones, harness use, and safety systems. The trainer kite gives you full control and confidence before using a full-size inflatable kite.
STEP TWO: Inflatable Kite Training
Move to the inflatable kite used in water. Learn proper setup, depower control, one-handed steering, safety systems, and safe water launching. This prepares you for real kite control in various water conditions.
STEP THREE: Body Dragging
Learn to fly the kite in the water without the board. Practice body surfing behind the kite, downwind dragging, returning to shore, and self-exit. Then learn single-handed steering while holding the board, preparing you for the waterstart.
STEP FOUR: Board Skills & Waterstart
Learn to manage the board in deep water, recover it, and position it correctly. Combine kite power with board technique to initiate your first waterstart. You'll begin to pop up on the board and ride controlled short distances.
