What should I book?
-
If you are a beginner, we recommend booking 3 sessions. You will be certified and ready to be independent by the end.
-
If you have kited on holidays a few times, we recommend booking Intermediate and Board Start.
-
If you are confident in setting up your own kite, launching and landing, controlling the kite, and body dragging, then book the Board Start. If you cannot do the tasks listed, your Board Start session will be useless and you are better off starting at Intermediate.
Group
Group sessions are maximum 2 students to 1 instructor with ample practice time.
* 3:1 for Discovery
Private
Learn in a 1:2:1 environment to advance your skils even faster. This requires endurance as it is non-stop
