Kite Camp

Intensive training over 4 days with 15 hours training plus free practice time

 

No other type of course gets beginners on the board more safely. In a group of max. 6 participants, you will learn pretty much everything there is to know about kitesurfing over 5 days. On the first day, training takes place on the beach. Here you will learn what a spot check means, how to set up and take down a kite and the 3-stage safety system. Afterwards you will fly a soft kite on the beach. All other days take place on the water. We teach in the 2-buddy system. This means that two people always share a kite. The secret of the kite camp lies in the large number of repetitions of everything learnt. Because only those who consolidate their experience can master the next level. For this reason, after the 16 hours of lessons on the 5th day, there is still the opportunity for free practice time to gain as much kite and board experience as possible. At the end of the kite camp you will of course have the opportunity to obtain your IKO licence.
