Kitesurfing 2 Day Course - £235.00

 

  • Take your kitesurfing to the next level with our 2 day kitesurfing course
  • Start body dragging and move onto board starts
  • You may achieve IKO level 2 with this course

Kitesurfing or Kiteboarding has exploded on to the Extreme Sports scene over the past five years; it takes the best from a range of water sports like surfing, wakeboarding, windsurfing and paragliding. With the introduction of modern equipment and a structured approached to learning which is developed by the International Kitesurfing Organisation (IKO), learning to Kitesurf has never been easier. This two day course will give you a solid introduction to the sport and if you have a grounding in board sports you may achieve IKO Level 2 certification which means that you will be issued with a card that will enable you to kitesurf and hire kiteboarding equipment all over the world - however we do recommend the three day course if you want to give yourself the best chance of achieving this standard. Whatever your goals, this is a great two days where you will learn loads and have a bucket load of fun!

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.
