If you’re wondering what it takes to kiteboard and you’ve been thinking about giving it a try, our beginner kiteboarding lessons are for you! You will receive IKO certified instruction that will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary for a safe and fun kiteboarding experience.
Our kiteboarding lessons are done in Tableview, Big bay, Langebaan and Muizenberg depending on the wind and your preference for conditions.
In your 1st day, you will learn to set-up and safely fly the 2 line training kite and then the 4 line LEI kite hooked into a harness on the beach. Your 2nd day will include water body dragging, using the power of the kite to pull your body through the water, and your 3rd day you will attempt your first water start and maybe you’ll even ride a short distance. All equipment, kites, harnesses, helmets, and boards are provided for your kitesurf lessons.
We highly recommend learning to kitesurf with a certified senior instructor. Kitesurfing is a complicated and technical sport and can be dangerous without professional guidance. Taking lessons from your friends and fly by night non-certified teachers is not advisable and its dangerous. Fast track your learning process with high quality lessons from our IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) certified instructors. We use the latest equipment to you done fall behind on the technology of the sport.
