New to kitesports? The Kitesurf Centre’s two hour Introduction to Kitesports lesson is ideal for those who have never tried kiting before. Initially covering a short safety and theory presentation before heading straight onto the beach to put it all into practise, the lesson will cover the basics of kite flying techniques you use in kitesports such as kitebuggying, landboarding and kitesurfing.
Introduction to Kitesports Course Outline
Introduction, theory and safety
Setup, launching and landing
Powerkite flying
Basic flying techniques
Foil kite / LEI kite flying
Advanced flying techniques
All the equipment is provided in the lesson, and can be modified to suit the wind conditions and size of the kite flyer – another reason this activity is perfect for family groups!
Part 1 – Introduction, Setup, Launching & Landing
After a quick talk through the basic theory and safety of kite flying, you’ll head down on the beach to learn how to setup, launch and land the kites. This first step of your journey into kite flying is very important, and will help make sure you’re as safe as possible when kiting. Powerkites are simple and easy to set up and launch, and have a built in safety system which when activated removes all the power from the kite – this makes the whole process super easy and safe – even for children!
Once that’s done it’s time to try it for yourself and launch the kite in the air to really kick off the fun! In pairs, you’ll launch the kites and learn how to control them whilst they’re in their air in part 2.
Part 2 – Basic Powerkite Flying Techniques
With the kite in the air, it’s time to put into effect everything you learn in the theory talk. See and feel how the kite pulls as it flies through the power zone, generate power with figure of 8 movements and learn how to control the kite steadily through different parts of the wind window.
These static flying exercises form the basis for all kitesports. Good kite control is 80% of being a good kitebuggier, landboarder or kitesurfer, so if you ever choose to progress onto these, you’ll have the perfect foundation for them.
Part 3 – LEI Flying and Advanced Flying Techniques
Once you’ve covered the basic flying techniques and learnt how to handle the powerkites, you can move onto the larger LEI or foil kites and try out more advanced flying techniques such as controlling the kite with one hand and flying without looking.
With these larger more powerful kites, you’ll really begin to feel the pull and how much fun it is to harness the power of the wind.
Lesson & Hire Options
If you’re not ready for the fun to stop, why not speak to your instructor or centre management about upgrading your lesson to a kitebuggy lesson (£10 extra pp) or a landboarding lesson (£40 extra pp). You can choose to do this in advance or when signing in for the lesson on the day.
After your lesson, you can hire the powerkites from our school for just £10 per hour (£30 per day), so the fun can continue for as long as you like! If you’ve upgraded to the kitebuggy or landboard lesson, you can hire the complete setup for £15 per hour (£45 per day).
If you’d like to really see how much much fun kiting can be and head out into the water, after completing your powerkiting lesson you can pick up an exclusive voucher for money off our 3 Day Kitesurfing Course!
As this is a group lesson, you will be in a group of up to 6 people. If on the day there are only 1 or 2 people, the lesson will be run shorter, to the equivalent of the monetary value for private tuition.
All of the equipment is provided.
Bring a study pair of shoes, sunglasses, sun cream and warm clothing if it is cold.

Kite Buggying is a fantastically exhilarating sport perfect for adults and children (8+) alike, and is also great for those wanting to try out kitesports without heading into the water. Using a powerkite, the wind and a three-wheeled buggy, you can whizz along miles of Camber’s flat, sandy beach at up to 50mph. Learning to kite buggy is much easier than you might imagine, so if you’re looking for a short activity which is fun for all ages and abilities – kite buggying is a brilliant option!
If you have children that are too small to take part in the lesson, our two seater buggy is perfect, and you can book for them to take a ride with an instructor at the end of your lesson.
Kite Buggy Lesson Outline
Introduction, theory and safety briefing
Powerkite setup
Powerkite flying
Advanced powerkite flying
Kitebuggying
Slalom / races (optional!)
Part 1 – Theory, Safety and Powerkite Flying
Kite Buggying is a super fun sport, but as with any sport there are risks, so it must be learnt and taught properly. The lesson begins with a brief run through of the the fundamentals of kitesurfing safety and theory so you fully understand the sport and have a safe and enjoyable lesson.
Once you’ve covered the safety and theory, you’ll head to the beach to do a site assessment and set up the powerkites. After this, it’s time to fly them!
You’ll put your theoretical knowledge of kite flying to the test as you learn to steer and loop the kite through the air. These static flying exercises give you experience in the most important part of any kite sport – kite control. Once you’ve got your kite control mastered you’re ready to put it to the test in the buggies!
Part 2 – Kite Buggying
Now that you have covered the kite flying part, it’s time to try out the buggies!
Transitioning into the buggies is easier than you’d think, and you’ll be whizzing along the beach in no time. You can choose how quickly (or slowly!) you’d like using the kite control techniques you learnt in the first part of the lesson.
As you gain confidence and ability, there’s the option to try out bigger kites, more complicated manoeuvres and even try out a slalom course or race against your friends! With an instructor by your side giving tips along the way, you’ll soon be a competent buggier.
Part 3 – Lesson Debrief
Once your lesson is over you’ll head back to the centre to have a debrief with your instructor. They’ll go through what you’ve covered, answer any questions and discuss what’s next. If the instructor signs you off, you can come back to rent the kite buggy equipment for just £15/h or £45 for a day! If you’ve really enjoyed the lesson and fancy trying out another challenge, you can also take home a voucher for a discounted 3 Day Kitesurfing Course.
We can run courses for 6 people at a time or groups up to 30 on our activity days.

Landboarding is an extreme sport, so it must be learnt and taught properly. The lesson begins with a brief run through of the the fundamentals of kitesurfing safety and theory so you fully understand the sport and have a safe and enjoyable lesson.
Once you’ve covered the safety and theory, you’ll head to the beach to do a site assessment and set up the powerkites. After this, it’s time to fly them! You’ll use the powerkites to put into practise the techniques you learnt about in the theory talk.
Once you have the powerkite flying techniques down, you’ll have the opportunity to try out the larger depowerable foil kites to learn about the smoother power delivery which you’ll use when landboarding.
Part 2 – Landboarding
Now that you’ve learnt all of the necessary kite techniques, you’ll progress onto the landboards. With a few small dives to get you moving, you’ll be cruising along the beach in no time.
As you get more confident you can control the kite to gain more speed, manoeuvre the board to turn along the beach, and learn how to come to a controlled stop.
If you progress past this, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more advanced tricks like slides and small jumps!
Part 3 – Lesson Debrief
Once your lesson is over you’ll head back to the centre to have a debrief with your instructor. They’ll go through what you’ve covered, answer any questions and discuss what’s next.

Lesson Details
Kitesurfing is one of the newest and most exciting watersports. Combining controlling the kite as it flies through the air with steering the board as it skims across the water, it’s a sport possible entirely because of the elements. Initially covering basic theory, site assessments and safety before going onto powerkite flying and inflatable kite flying, the 1 Day course is a great introduction to the world of kitesports.
If you’d like to read a blog written about one student’s experience of Day 1, click here.
1 Day Course Outline
Introduction, theory and site assessments
The fundamentals of kitesurfing – wind and sea conditions
Kitesurfing, whilst a lot of fun, is still an extreme sport, so it must be learnt and taught properly. The lesson begins with a brief run through of the the fundamentals of kitesurfing safety and theory so you fully understand the sport and have a safe and enjoyable lesson.
Once you’ve covered the safety and theory, you’ll head to the beach to do a site assessment and set up the powerkites. After this, it’s time to fly them!
You’ll put your theoretical knowledge of kite flying to the test as you learn to steer and loop the kite through the air. These static flying exercises give you experience in the most important part of kitesurfing – kite control. 80% of being a good kitesurfer is mastering kite control, so this is a really important part.
Part 2 – LEI Kite Setup & Flying
After a short break, you’ll collect your LEI (Leading Edge Inflatable) kitesurfing kites, change into wetsuits and head back down to the beach.
You’ll learn all about how to set up, launch and land the kitesurfing kites in the safest way possible depending on the beach on you’re on, and what things you need to look out for. You’ll also learn to use the three safety steps. All of this is done through demonstration and practise, give you the change to actively see and feel how it all works.
Part 3 – Controlled Bodydragging
Now you’ve covered the safety, theory and setup, it’s time to head out into the water! Kitted up in wetsuits, harnesses, buoyancy aids and helmets (all included in the lesson price), you’ll put your kite skills to the test as you learn to bodydrag through the water.
Don’t worry – it’s not as scary as it sounds! Steering and diving the kite in a controlled way through the air allows you to glide through the water in any direction. Going through this really helps you to understand the way your kite works, reacts and how it feels.
Part 4 – Self Rescue and Pack Downs
At the end of the lesson the instructor will demonstrate am “emergency packdown” and go through how you can self-rescue in difficult situations, as well as running through example scenarios of ways to get back to land safely.
As it’s a vital part of being a safe and independent kitesurfer, each student will get the chance to go through the self-rescue procedure themselves.
Part 5 – Lesson Debrief
At the end of the lesson, you’ll head back to The Kitesurf Centre’s main building for an end of session debrief, where you’ll receive your BKSA kiteboarder card and your log book. The instructor will mark off on your card and log book which levels you’ve achieved. If you’re back the next day, the instructor will let you know the plan for the next day and give you some exercises to practise before you come back. The instructor will also send you a message in your booking account with anything you need to cover, post session recaps and any recommendations they’ve given. This is super useful in the future if you decide to come back another day!
All of the equipment is provided and the course is 80% practical and brilliant fun!

As soon as you’ve recapped the setup, it’s time to head out into the water to go through the rest of the bodydrags. In total, you’ll cover the following bodydrags:
Downwind
Directional
Upwind
The upwind bodydrag is one of the most useful skills to learn as a kiter, if you ever lose your board or get out of your depth, it’s the best way to get back to it.
Part 3 – Board Start Theory & Practise
Once you’ve completed all of the bodydrags and have gained a sufficient level of kite control, it’s time to introduce you to the board.
Our unique board start trainer is a fantastic way to get you used to the movements you need to go through in order to board start. It’s a great opportunity to practise without the kite as there’s a lot to do and it’ll take a few attempts!
Once you’ve had a few attempts, it’s time to head back into the water and try it for real! It might take a few attempts, but there’s plenty of time for you to try and before you know it you’ll be up and riding along!
Part 4 – Lesson Debrief
At the end of the lesson, you’ll head back to The Kitesurf Centre’s main building for an end of session debrief, where you’ll receive your BKSA kiteboarder card and your log book. The instructor will mark off on your card and log book which levels you’ve achieved. If you’re back the next day, the instructor will let you know the plan for the next day and give you some individual exercises to practise before you come back.

Feeling the wind on your face as you skim across the water and the joy it brings you is the culmination of three days of effort from you. There’s no feeling like it!
