Lessons Format
The first session is on the ground where you'll learn about safety measures, responsibility as a kiter, understanding how to read the wind from different angles, setting up an inflatable kite and controlling a small inflatable kite. The purpose of the first session is to get you comfortable flying the kite, performing kite maneuvers and understanding the wind window before going in the water. (2 hours)
The
second session is on the water where you'll learn how to us
the power of the kite to body drag with your upper body out of the water in different directions, how to relaunch the kite from the water and some self rescue techniques. This is the part where you start combining the knowledge you learn on the ground to start getting comfortable on the water. (2 hours)
The
third session is on the water as well, when you'll learn how to combine the power of the kite with the balance of your body to start getting up and riding on the board. This is not the most difficult part but it does require some practice to coordinate your body with your mind. (2 hours)
