Here is what you’ll learn:
Objective 1: Kite Control
This important first step is the key to kiteboarding success. We will unlock all there is to know about controlling the kite, understanding how it moves and get you feeling confident with it. You’ll be using a proper big girl/boy’s kite this lesson…no more baby trainer kites for you!
We will start off on the beach where you’ll be hooked up with a harness. We’ll then go through some initial theory and a location assessment before teaching you how rig up. Afterwards we’ll head into the water for a series of kite exercises.
This lesson, we will cover:
Objective 2: Body Dragging
This lesson is dedicated to body dragging where you will be spending most of your time in the water, working towards your ultimate goal: board start attempts!
We’ll begin by refreshing your kite skills from last lesson, before improving them with three different body dragging techniques.
Body dragging is exciting as you can really feel the kite’s power as it drags you through the water – you won’t just be standing still with your new kite friend! It’s a vital skill because undoubtedly, you’ll fall off your board, probably a lot (it happens to the best of us!) and will need to know how to recover it by body dragging upwind.
This practice will also get you understanding the force required to get up on the board during the water starts, and how to keep the kite’s power going when riding.
This lesson will include:
Objective 3: Water Start
You’ve conquered the kite, so now it’s time for what you’ve been waiting for – the board start! There’s nothing quite like the feeling of your first ride when it all comes together and having the adrenaline pumping through your veins.
In this lesson, we’ll be practicing and learning all there is to know about board starts. Our goal is to get you on the board and successfully riding short distances.
This lesson will include:
After you’ve completed the course there will still be a lot to learn, but by the end you will be well equipped to handle most situations at a ‘beginner independent’ level. You should then be ready to continue practicing by yourself at your own speed. Our instructors will be happy to give you tips and hacks to improve your riding, or provide additional lessons.
