Land Boarding - One Day Intro Course
- Learn to fly a high powered traction Kite
- Get up on the board and put your skills to the test
- All equipment and specialist instruction is included
Land Boarding is the new kid on the block when it comes to kite sports and is going to make kiting accessible to the masses! It follows the same principles as kite-surfing (a kite and a board) but you do it on land with a mountain board under your feet. Land Boarding is a rapidly growing sport with a number of clubs and competitions springing up all over the country. Our one day introduction to Land Boarding is a great course that will teach you the kite and board skills necessary to get onto a board and start moving. Great fun, a few bruises go with the territory on this one.
Experience Content
You will start your day with a short safety briefing before being familiarized with the equipment - land board, kite, harness etc. Then it's time to have some fun! You will learn to fly and control traction kites which will get you used to the power that the kites generate. Once your kite skills are developed it is time to get you onto the board to enjoy your first runs.
