KITEBOARD LESSONS
To maximize fun and safety, taking lessons from a qualified instructor is highly recommended. It is imperative that new riders are able to enjoy a day on the water without being a danger to bystanders or themselves. Land and Beginner lesson plans are devised to provide basic knowledge to new riders that will give them the tools to safely practice on their own. Additional lessons may be required to enhance skills and provide intermediate knowledge.
Land class: $100 – 2 hours
Experience this fun introduction into power kiting. This class will introduce you to the world of kite sports. The same principles apply to snow kiting, kite surfing, land boarding or kite buggying. Learn about the wind, wind window, kite set-up, launch/land, safety systems, flying the kite, managing kite power, ending with simulated board starts.
Full beginner class: $300 – 5 hours
This lesson is geared towards students with no previous kite flying experience. As above, you’ll start by flying a small foil kite on land and progress to the larger inflatable kites, all the way up to the board start. This class covers:
• site selection
• wind theory/needs
• wind window
• trainer kite (rigging, flying)
• inflatable kite (rigging)
• launch/land
• 4 line safety release
• kite control

At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be confident enough to purchase equipment and continue learning on their own.
