“Discovery Kiteboarder” Day 1

Discover kiteboarding with this 6 hour course. The first 3 hours is based on land at Baiter Park, Poole. This grassy spot is an ideal location to learn the fundamentals of kite flying and handling, spot assessment, kite rigging (setup), and kite safety systems all in the comfort of dry land.

The second half of the day continues at Poole Harbour. This is when you put your recently learnt knowledge to the test and fly inflatable kites with the safety of waist height water, practise using the kite safety systems and learn how to water re-launch an inflatable kite. After you have good control you will use the kite to drag yourself along the water’s surface (body dragging). This is an excellent way for you to feel the real power of an inflatable kite and gain valuable experience of controlling a kite whilst in motion. The day ends with a water pack down and self rescue demonstration, an essential element of the instruction which helps to develop your knowledge and skills to become a safe independent kitesurfer.

“Intermediate Kiteboarder” Day 2

On day 2 it’s straight into the water at Poole Harbour, starting with more body dragging to freshen up your memory, then upwind body dragging, then concentrating mainly on kiteboard work, practicing board starts and riding in both directions. By the end of this day you will be knowledgeable and skilled enough to buy yourself some suitable equipment, set it up and practise safely on your own.

One on One Tuition

Learn at your own pace with private tuition, this can be for the complete beginner to advanced coaching. Very useful for people who have had lessons and just bought their own kit and would like a quick safety and setup refresher and board riding coaching. (minimum of 2 hours)
