Lesson structure- A good understanding of the wind, strength and direction is paramount to the sport. Many of you will come from other wind or water sports so this will be easy for you. Some may never have been involved in wind sports at all – no matter, we all start from the basics ensuring a thorough knowledge our environment. Then you will have a hands on session with a power kite on dry land. You will explore the kite’s abilities and performance, where the kite flies best, where the kite’s power is best – all essential for the safe control of a modern high performance kite surf kite. Then you will learn about the different types of Kites, how to rig them up and conduct your checks. Rigging your kite correctly is an essential step in safe kitesurfing. Once rigged up your instructor will demonstrate the correct techniques and signals for safely launching your kite. Now it's time to hit the water!
