Cost – £449 – Everything included + post course handout
Our zero to hero course takes you from a complete novice to a fully independent and confident kitesurfer, safe in the knowledge that you have all the skills needed to continue the sport.
The first three days of the course take the same path as the three day kitesurfing lesson however it then goes further to cover:
- In depth equipment theory with information about different kite and board types, shapes, designs and materials used in their production and how each feature affects how they perform and behave.
- Advanced wind, weather and sea conditions knowledge
As well as the extra useful theory there will also be a large amount of practical time spent with the kite and board in the water. In addition to the first 3 days, the extra time really allows you to master the kite skills and concentrate on the board control riding techniques. Weight distribution used effectively allows a better stance and full control in various conditions, the course works on this important factor. With this extra control and skill we can then go onto riding in both directions with turns and then onto smooth slide and carve turns.
In addition, the course covers how to use the board effectively to produce ‘pop’ and the kite to give you lift, creating your first jumps!!
The aim after completing this intensive kitesurfing course is that you have the knowledge and skills needed to continue the sport as well as able to choose suitable wind, weather, location and equipment. You should be will able to kitesurf anywhere safely and most of all have loads of fun!
The lesson is completed with a debrief and individual suggestions on how to continue the sport. Each student is given a handout package including BKSA/IKO certification, ‘Kitesurfing: The complete guide’ book, magazines, stickers and information about suitable kites and boards to buy – including discount vouchers for the range of ex demo/school kit and new equipment package deals.
All equipment including safety gear is included in the kitesurfing lesson.
Please bring – Sensible sturdy pair of shoes, towel, swimming costume, suncream, sunglasses, and warm clothes if it’s cold.
