THREE DAY WATER
STARTER |
This is by far the most popular course we run as it generally accepted that 3 days is the minimum amount of time required to learn to a stage you are capable to look after yourself; ‘Kitesurf independence*’. There is a strong emphasis on this with the ‘water starter’ course and in line with the beliefs of the IKO (International Kitesurf Organisation) believe that it is the minumum requirement for most learning to kitesurf.
We base the course on a syllabus designed and regulated by the IKO. The outline of the course is as follows:
- Equipment Set-up
- Learning the ‘wind window’, where the power is and isn’t and how to navigate your kite safely around it.
- Safety and site assessment
- Board recovery, body dragging up and down wind.
- Science of weather patterns, wind and tides.
- Water starting on the board.
- How to keep riding, maintain power and power management.
- Kite re-launch
- Self rescue techniques
- Kite maintenance
- Intro to upwind riding
