Beginners Course
Beginners course - 8 hours over two days.
Courses are run on a continual basis with groups of not more than 6 people per course. Most people have very limited experience of kitesurfing so we have initially started offering only basic courses, and as clients begin to request more advanced manoeuvre's we will offer more advanced instruction.
Certificate / Licenses
We are an IKO recognized centre which means we teach to a certain standard and also means we can issue the IKO Kiteboarder card. These come in different levels depending on ability.
There is also a booklet which is very informative, Booklet: 12 €

Day 1
- Introduction to kites with a look at different types and sizes.
- Rigging up (inflation, connecting lines, harness and how it works).
- Launching (off the beach).
- Landing (on the beach).
- Basic Flying movement, explanation of the window, etc.
- Getting kitted out (choosing the wetsuit, buoyancy aid, crash hat).
- Finally body-dragging downwind and gaining confidence in the water.
Day 2
This day will start with another body-drag session, then it's straight onto the board to practice!
- Water-starting
- Kite recovery from the water
- Downwind sailing
By the end of these 8 hours most people should be at a level where they can hire equipment and be competent enough to sail (fly) by themselves, having gained the minimum understanding of what is required. They can of course go on and do the next level up which is the Conversion Course. They should also have gained IKO Level 2. |
