Kite Surfing Course

3 Day Learn the Basics Course

This benchmark course is designed to take students through the International Kiteboarding Organisation syllabus. If you are looking to take the sport up seriously then we recommend this as the absolute minimum course to enrol on, possibly combined with some Fresh 'n Up sessions. The basic subjects covered are:

• Equipment set-up
• Launching and landing kites, and piloting in the wind window
• Kitesurfing and safety issues
• Body-dragging both downwind and upwind
• Wind window theory
• A look at wind, the weather, and tides
• Water-starting
• How to get going and keep going on a kiteboard
• Kite maintenance issues

 

On completion of the course students will be awarded an IKO Kiteboarder Card and course notes to help you remember all that you’ve been taught.
