Kiteboarding introduction
Your lesson begins with Ground School, where you'll get a solid introduction to the fundamentals of kiteboarding. You'll learn what the sport is all about. We’ll also walk you through your gear, how to set it up, and cover essential safety practices, including what to do in emergency situations.
Once you're comfortable with the basics, it's time to get a feel for the wind by flying one of our power or "trainer" kites — an exciting first step toward mastering kite control.
