Stage One
Duration: 2-3 hrs
The first phase of kiteboarding is learning how to proficiently operate the kite. About 30 minutes are spent on the land going over safety, wind direction, wind theory and kite control. The majority of the lesson time is spent in the water learning how to safely operate the kite. We’ll go through kite control, water relaunches, power strokes, body drags and using the quick release. By the end of the lesson you’ll walk away with a fundamental understanding of how to fly the kite.
Trainer Kite Experience – We progress as quickly as you progress so if you’ve had trainer kite experience and feel comfortable operating the kite, we’ll focus on the next steps. We make sure to provide you with the proper steps so you progress safely and quickly.
Stage Two
Duration: 2-3 hrs
The second phase is learning how to ride the board with the kite. We have a jetski that we use to better optimize time and help you learn faster and safer. We take you past where all the other riders are so you can learn and focus on riding without anyone around. We’ll go through putting the board on, water starts, riding posture, riding upwind and transitions.
Stage Three
Duration: 2-3 hrs
The final stage is being independent. This lesson is more of a supervision where you apply all the skills you’ve learned towards kiteboarding on your own.
On average, students take anywhere between 6 to 15 hours to learn how to kiteboard on their own. We are focused on providing you with the proper steps so you have the foundation to safely and proficiently kiteboard on your own. Having the right fundamentals will help you progress throughout your lessons and when you’re on your own.
