We feel that the main goal is to have you understanding the dangers and practicing
kitesurfing in the safest way possible. This is not only for your safety but also for
that of others. This means understanding the rigging of the kite and lines, understanding
the wind and weather conditions, knowing how to react in certain situations.
The classes usually start with some theory then followed by a check of your capability of
controlling a kite. We start with a small soft kite (ram air) on the beach.
|
This is done to understand the (window) this means where the kite can fly,
windows edge, soft power, full power zone, flying the kite using a harness,
starting and landing, flying with one hand. The beach training usually takes
between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on each person. |
After the short beach training, we go straight into the water, in the water we practice first the bodydrag in both directions, with and without harness, relaunching the kites out of deep water, controlling the kites with one hand. |
Once the kite is controlled and relaunched out of deep water we start with the board.
After understanding the process of getting the board under your feet, lining it up properly.
Then flying the kite to get the exact amount of power to lift you onto the board. It is then
just a matter of a lot of practice. |
All our training sessions are done on 4 or 5 line kites. Should a person request, we can provide a 2-line kite for practising. On average it takes between six to ten hours to grasp the basic understanding and use of the kite and board. Depending on the person, off-course- one can usually being to Kite-Surf after this period. |
