Kitesurf beginner courses at New Spirit Dakhla

Our guiding principle is sustainable training that prepares you optimally for independent and safe kitesurfing. In our basic course, you will learn all the important basics to get off to a safe start. In addition to exciting theory units and an introduction to equipment, the focus is primarily on practical application in the water. You will first train how to control the kite before moving on to the board. Our aim is for you to be able to continue practising independently and with a feeling of confidence after completing the course. We are committed to this with our experienced, motivated team and our excellent reputation.

Kitesurf Basic Course

8-hour group course for kitesurfing beginners over 2-3 days

The right choice for all those who already have previous experience in water, snow and wind sports or who learn board sports particularly quickly.

The basic course comprises 2 to 3 days of lessons (depending on the wind) with a total of 8 lessons.

In order to practise and internalise the movements you have learned, you will have plenty of practical training time in the second part of the course.

You will learn the important elements of kitesurfing in a group of 4 to 6 people. The course is designed in such a way that you can practise on your own afterwards without any danger. During the course, the students (usually in pairs) share a kite and a board.

If you would like a little more practical training time in the course, choose the 4-hour longer "Intensive basic course":

Intensive Beginner Kitesurfing Course

12-hour intensive kitesurfing course (beginner level) over 3–5 days, 4–6 people

The right choice if you have little or no prior experience in other related sports. That’s why the Intensive Beginner Course offers you 4 more hours of instruction than the standard Beginner Course.

In the Intensive Beginner Course, you’ll have 3 to 5 days of instruction (depending on wind conditions) for a total of 12 lessons. To help you practice and master the movements you’ve learned, the second part of the Intensive Beginner Course also includes plenty of practice time. The course is designed so that you can safely practice on your own afterward.

In a learning group of 4 to 6 people, you’ll learn the essential elements of kitesurfing. For safety reasons, two students share one set of wingfoil training equipment in the basic course. Those who progress more quickly can upgrade to (semi-)private training upon request.

Contents:

  • Equipment overview (boards, kites)
  • Setting up and taking down equipment
  • Safety training (land + water)
