Kitesurfing 1 Day Course

Kitesurfing takes the best from surfing, wakeboarding, windsurfing and paragliding to form one awesome sport! With the introduction of modern equipment and a structured approached to learning, which is developed by the International Kitesurfing Organisation (IKO) and taught by IKO and British Kite Surfing Organisation (BKSA) approved instructors - learning to Kitesurf has never been easier than right here with this great introduction.

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre you will begin your Kitesurfing 1 Day Course with the theory. This one day course will give you all the fundamentals of kiteflying (which is 90% what kitesurfing is all about) and give you an introduction to all the equipment, kiteboards, kitesurf kites and safety.The fun really starts when you hit the water and start practicing body dragging (which is being pulled over the water by the kite), this is when you will really start to appreciate the power that these kites generate. By the end of the day, depending on your progress, you might start putting your new skills together and start attempting some board starts.
