Description

Begin your kitesurfing journey with a 2-hour lesson that combines theory and practice. Learn to examine the spot, understand safety rules, and master kite control on land. Move on to the second stage, where you’ll spend 2 hours in the water. Learn techniques like “bodydrag” and “Downwind” sliding, building your confidence and skills. In the third stage, master the kite and board, starting navigation to luff. This 2-hour session helps you gain full control and prepare for independent kitesurfing. For a comprehensive experience, choose the 6-hour package that covers all three stages. Or, opt for the 12-hour package to double your knowledge and improve your kite confidence, crucial for better sailing skills. If you’ve already completed the 12-hour course, continue developing your skills with additional lessons. For a unique challenge, try kite hydrofoil lessons. Ride a board up to 1m above the water’s surface, experiencing the sensation of flying on a magic carpet. For beginners, start with a 1-hour baptism session, a small theoretical approach with a kite adjusted to wind conditions, conducted on the sand with an instructor.
