Basic Course
8 hours over 2-3 days, 2-6 people
This course is perfect for anyone with previous experience in water sports, snow sports or wind sports and/or for gifted fast-learning individuals, but no kitesurf course passed yet.
For those who have limited to no previous experience or who simply want very thorough training, we recommend the Intensive Basic Course.
The Basic Course consists of 8 hours in a group, spanning over 2-3 days of lessons, depending on conditions. Students will learn the essential elements of kitesurfing in groups of 2 to 6 people (only from 14 years). In order to practice and to master the techniques, the second part of the course allows for plenty of practical training time. The aim of the course is to enable you to practice safely on your own after the course.
Contents:
- Introduction to the equipment (boards, 4-line delta kites)
- Kite setup
- Safety procedures (Land & Water)
- Kite flying exercises
- Fundamental theory
- Water start of the kite (Re-launch)
- Body drag - downwind and upwind
- Board work - doing the water start
- The first meters of riding downwind...
Attention: Shouldn't there be enough students to form a group, the value of the group course will be converted to private lessons, e.g. the 8-hour basic course will be switched to 4.75 private lessons.
Wünscht du dir etwas mehr Praxiszeit auf dem Wasser in deinem Kurs, empfehlen wir den Intensiv Grundkurs. In der Regel bist du nach dem 12-stündigen Intensiv Grundkurs fit, um Material auszuleihen und selbständig weiter zu üben.

Equipment insurance
Your kite equipment is insured during the course. However, as soon as you start training on your own, we recommend you take out insurance, e.g. the "Safety Tool" from the VDWS for only 39 euros per year. You can take out this on site - just let us know.
