Kitesurf Course in Sicily:

Theory and Fundamentals

The Kitesurfing beginner course starts with a brief theoretical explanation of the functioning of the kite itself in the air (structure, aerodynamics) and of the other necessary elements for practicing the sport (weather, spot, gear).

For the intermediate and advanced students the course will begin with a quick refresh of the fundamentals.

In the same way, the instructor will go over the set-up the kite and the various safety systems of the control bar for all levels.

Kite Control and Body-drag

It is then time for the piloting or advanced control of the kite in the wind window. For this phase trainer kites will be used, generating less power for better safety, and with more reactivity for a faster learning process.

Once you show the necessary control of the kite, you will move to the water and begin entering the power zone with the kite for body-drags. This exercise gives the opportunity to practice power strokes necessary later for getting out of the water and on to your board.

Waterstart, Riding, and more

You will then be ready to start handling the board, initially by holding it while controlling the kite with the other hand. And after learning to put your feet into the board straps in the water, it will be time to practice steady-pulls. Here you will be holding the starting position, while coordinating the kite with the board which will be controlled by your feet.

Finally you will make the first attempts of water-starting, standing up on the board, and riding!

For the more advanced, the following steps are riding constantly in both directions, coming to a controlled stop, going up-wind, and transitions.
