  • Kitesurfing Lesson – 2 Day Course

    Kite Surfing Experience Days: A 2 day Kitesurfing course is, quite frankly, an absolutely
    perfect introduction to the sport that we at Experience Days
    consider to be the most exciting, most extreme and most innovative
    watersports out there. Kiteboarding – or kitesurfing – is the happy
    result of the evolution of various other extreme water sports. It
    combines elements of surfing, windsurfing, wake boarding and
    paragliding. The huge and powerful kites, and the exceptionally
    lightweight boards mean that dedicated kite surfers can achieve
    some really exceptional feats (pier jumping to name one!), and new
    technologies and equipment developments give kite boarders higher
    performance opportunities than many of the longer-established
    watersports.

    Over the two day kitesurfing lesson you will practice the basic but
    essential kitesurfing skills – and vital safety practices – that
    you should know if you want to practise riding solo safely. Luckily
    for all potential boarders, these skills are relatively easy to get
    the hang of, and at the conclusion of the 2 day course most
    students will achieve BKSA Level 1 certificate, with some talented
    folks even managing to get to Level 2!Day one is all about getting
    to know the equipment and learning how to fly a kitesurf kite
    (which is 90% of what kitesurfing is about), you will also learn
    about important safety procedures and you should finish the day
    body-dragging which is huge fun but expect to get a mouth full of
    water! Day two is all about trying to get up on the board and
    moving and you may start to learn plenty more such as rules of the
    road and the holy grail of learning to kitesurf which is riding up
    wind.
