Kitesurf Taster

Who the course is for

The Kitesurf taster day is suitable for anyone who is interested in finding out more about kitesurfing.  It's a great chance to get in the water with the kites without commiting to the full training course.

The first part of the day is spent getting the hang of the powerkites, then it's time to move onto the de-power kites and onto the kitesurf kites before trying to put it all together using the kite to pull you through the sea!

What the course covers

• Introduction to Powerkiting, including flying skills and use of the safety system
• Basic kitesurf skills such as body dragging in the water

What's included in the price

• 5 hours of tuition with IKO certified instructors
• Use of all kiting equipment
