The 2 day beginner course is ideal as an entry into the sport. The first day is run along the same lines as the one day kitesurfing lesson where you are introduced to kitesurfing and learn the fundamentals behind the sport, how to fly a small trainer kite, set up a kite and bodydragging techniques in the water. As with all of our courses, all of the necessary equipment is supplied as part of the course. The 2 day kitesurfing lesson is run very frequently between March and November during the week and at weekends, ideal for a weekend break.

 

2 day kitesurfing course outline:

- Own set-up of LEI kite - Controlled downwind, direction, upwind and balance bodydragging - Introduction to boardstart theory - Boardstarts in the water - Continuous riding with constant power delivery from the kite - Edging the board and controlling the speed - Upwind riding - Own demonstration of deep water safety packdown - Debrief and hand outs

The second day of the kitesurfing course is 100% practical, all the theory and land based work has been completed on the first day so from now on it’s all time in the water. 

We start with re-enforcing the kite assembly learnt on the first day by setting up a kite each under the guide of our qualified instructors. We use the latest 2010 kites and equipment for maximum safety and usability with thick wetsuits to keep you warm! Once set up and pre flight checked, we move into the water and continue from the first day with the bodydragging techniques. These will take us through to the short mid lesson break. We keep it short as I am sure you will not want to stop for long as it is now time for the board!

After the break we demonstate how to board start, and then the rest of the kitesurfing lesson will be spent practising this technique. We will introduce power in the kite and control of the board for continuous runs as well as learning how to stop throughout the afternoon.

During the kitesurf course you will also demonstrate a deep water emergency packdown procedure to re-enforce what was shown to you on the first day of the kitesurfing lesson.

The course is completed with a debrief  and individual suggestions on how to continue the sport. Each student is given a handout package with all the theory learnt on day 1, magazine, stickers and information about suitable kites and boards to buy – including our range of new, secondhand, ex demo/ school kit and discounted equipment package deals that we offer.  

There is huge amount to cover and learn in the 2 day kitesurfing course, if you are keen to take up and continue the sport we advise the 3 day kitesurf course.

 

All equipment including safety is included in the kitesurfing lesson
