KITE SURFING COURSES

Kiteboarding or Kitesurfing  is an exciting, explosive sport that takes the skills of Powerkiting to another level. You can kitesurf flat water or waves, oceans or lakes. Its fun and progressive, and theres always something new to learn!

All kitesurf equipment and safety gear provided.

UNDER 12'S MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT

We recomend a 10-12hr kitesurf course to get you up and riding as quickly, safely and competently as possible.

However, if you cannot make time or afford the course we offer instruction by the hour (min 2 hours) to fit in with your schedule with a view to getting you out there riding as quickly as your skill level allows.

 We cannot guarantee you will be up and riding by the end of the three 3-4 hour sessions as progression depends on the individuals skills and past experience with kites, boardsports or other crossover sports. However it is our experience that 10 -12 hours tuition is usually sufficient for the average student.

Additional Instruction costs $50 +GST per hour
