What types of courses are the best to learn kitesurfing?

Private kitesurfing courses: This type of course is the fastest and most effective if you come alone and what you want is to learn in a short time, depending only on your skills with all the attention and help of our monitors. It is the most intense type of course so learning is faster.

Semi-private kitesurfing courses: This type of course is highly recommended for friends or couples who want to learn quickly and sharing with a friend or partner. During this course, in the moments of rest, the student learns from the mistakes made by the classmate with the instructor's explanation.

Kitesurfing courses in groups of 4 people: This course is for groups of friends or families who want to have a group experience and learn the basics of the sport. Later it is better to change to the semi-private or private format to have more personalized attention.

How long does it take to learn kitesurfing?

To learn kitesurfing it is necessary to take between 4 – 8 days of course depending on the skills of each person. The average to learn kitesurfing is 7 days, until we feel confident and independent to practice on our own.

During the first 3-4 days you will learn all the basic notions related to the sport. From the safety and flight of the kite on land to putting the board on our feet and trying to get up on the board (waterstart) to do the first meters.

Once we have learned all the basics, starting on the 4th day we will begin to correct the position of the body on the board, gain more balance on it and walk back along the beach with the kite

We will begin to make increasingly longer boards, learning to control the speed and stop with control, and we will try to correct the body position to be able to climb against the wind (upwind) to walk as little as possible through the sand.

Once you are able to enter the sea, navigate with control towards both sides, recover your board when you lose it, get out of the water with your board and walk back to the starting point to start again, it can be said that you can practice on your own. This also depends on the confidence of each person.

What happens if there are not good conditions to take the kitesurfing course and the classes are cancelled?

If the class cannot be held due to bad wind or sea conditions, the classes are canceled and only the class hours that could be completed will be paid or the course will be postponed to the next day.

If you pay for the full course and cannot finish it, the part of the course that could not be completed will be refunded.

From what age can a kitesurfing course be taken?

From the age of 7-8 you can start learning the sport. For the little ones we recommend 2-3 days to introduce them to the sport.

Every year they take some more classes and from the age of 12 they learn the sport super quickly and can now be more independent.

What do I need to bring for the kitesurfing course?
