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.
