TWO DAY WATER STARTER	Although the 3 day course is the most popular, the 2 day water starter is good for weekends and for those who want to commit to the sport but are short on time. We focus on getting you to the water start level by the end of the 2nd day. As with all our courses we tailor them to the ability of the student so if you have experience with kites there is no reason why you can’t be up and riding after this course. If you rate your talent, this maybe all you need! 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’, how to navigate your kite safely around it.

THREE DAY WATER STARTER	If you have made the decision to give the sport a go, then we recommend a minimum of 3 days training to get you to the stage of ‘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) we believe that it is the prime 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.
