We
have divided the lessons into a three day course,
completing all three lessons will give you a good grounding in the
skills and safety techniques needed to begin your adventure into the
world of kiteboarding.
Our training is conducted in a

supply a safety boat during your lesson so that we can instruct you on
the water and rescue you if you need help.

specialised attention.We focus strongly on safety on the water, so that
you can feel relaxed and just have fun.
