This 3 day starter pack is just what you need to start Kiteboarding.

Designed to get you up and riding with safety and confidence the 3 day course is based on the IKO Teaching standard and aims to complete the IKO level 2 Certification.

Day 1 2.5 Hour Kite Control Lesson on the beach. First you’ll learn to fly a small trainer kite for about 1 hour, this teaches you kite control, theory and safety without the power of larger kites. The next step is to fly the small 4 line inflatable kite. You’ll learn kite set up and the safety systems then how to fly the kite with control. You’ll complete this step when you can show full control of the kite, the depower system, 1 handed flying and safety systems.

Day 2 2.5 Hour Body Drag Lesson in the water. Now it’s time to take the kite into the water! You’ll be flying a bigger kite now with longer lines but no board yet. You’ll first learn to enter and exit the water while flying the kite, what we call Body Dragging through the water. You’re Instructor will be right with you to help you and keep you safe. You’ll learn how to harness the power of the kite and how to re-launch the kite incase it crashes into the water. The final step is 1 handed upwind body drags and being able to navigate independently in the water.

Day 3 2.5 Hour Water Start Lesson in the water. It’s time to try the board for the first time. Now you have the kite control and confidence to enter the water, handle the kite with 1 hand, put the board on and take your first rides on the board. Even if you fall off you’ll know how to body drag back to your board and restart. You’re Instructor will be with you for the first attempts, our goal is to get you riding safely and independently. Once competed you’ll be certified IKO Level 2 and you’ll be ready for an Upwind Lesson or Supervised Rental. (This is a normal progession for most people, however some people may need more time get up on the board)
