This course is all about learning the basics, with minimal theory and an
emphasis on having good fun. Learn the basic flying skills with a trainer kite
on the beach, before heading into the water. Here you will progress onto
bodydragging. This is a technique which involves using the power of the kite to
pull you off your feet and along the surface of the water. The ultimate aim of
the taster lesson would be to get up on the board and moving. Note: Kitesurfing
is a dangerous sport. Please do not think that you will learn everything you
need to know to begin kitesurfing in one day.

This is a one day course that is very informative. It involves learning about
different types of kites and associated equipment, whilst also addressing safety
issues before starting out on a trainer kite. Whilst piloting the trainer kite
you will learn the theory of the wind window. The wind window is the theoretical
explanation for the way the kite flies to create its power. You will learn how
to set up a kite, before getting kitted up and heading onto the water, taking
the skills you have learnt from the land into water. When in the water you will
learn the art of bodydragging, safe flying techniques, and what to do if
everything goes wrong. This course will ensure you fully
