Pretty much anyone who’s interested in the sport can learn how to kitesurf! We’ve taught students of all ages and weights and know that being stoked to get into the sport is half the battle already won.

The general rule of thumb is that it takes you between 8 and 12 hours to learn how to kitesurf (rather 12 than 8 though, unless you are a incredibly talented and a natural). How long it really takes is entirely up to you.

Kitesurfing courses are usually divided into three sessions: First, you’ll learn basic wind theory and how to fly a small kite. After this lesson, you’ll know how to set up your equipment, how to launch and land your kite safely, how to depower the kite and how to use the quick release emergency feature!

The next lesson is where it gets super exciting – you will fly your kite while in the ocean and learn how to body drag downwind (adrenaline rush), steer the kite with one hand and relaunch after crashing. Essential self-rescue techniques are also part of this lesson (very important), which prepares you for the third part of your kitesurfing course: The water start.

It’s now you will learn how to ride the board. Some key elements of this lesson is the water start position with your feet in the straps, while controlling the kite at the same time, pulling yourself up and riding (at this stage only for a moment), as well as recovering your board by body dragging upwind.

Kitesurfing is a high-risk activity and can be dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing, we strongly recommend you to take a few kitesurfing lessons before you practice on your own.

If you’d like to get into it all by yourself or rather just want to prepare your first kitesurfing lesson, learn basic wind theory, get familiar with your set-up of the equipment and start by flying a trainer kite on the beach (these kites produce a small amount of power. Therefore, if you make a mistake the consequences are not so dire.) It’s a lot of fun and will give you an idea of what the sport is about.
