Semi-private Kitesurf Course:
Basic Theory, Safety, and Kite control
This course begins with a brief theory with content according to your level. The instructor goes over the set-up of the kite and lines, as well as the safety systems on the control bar.
It is then time for working on kite control. Special kites are used for beginners, with less power and increased reactivity for a faster learning process. This exercise is practiced in shallow water for better safety.

Body-dragging
Next come the body-drags. There you can improve your kite controlling skills with upwind bodydragging for board recovery.
Then we start with power strokes for waterstarts. At that moment, you will feef the pulls on your harness but within the safety of the water. The instructor will stay with you until you will manage to execute the exercise autonomously.

Waterstart, Riding and more
We then reach the phase of introducing with the board. After learning to bodydrag by holding the board, the instructor will show how to put the board in your feet and take the starting position. It will then be time for steady pulls, until you learn coordinating the kite and board for attempting the waterstart.
Once you start standing up, the boat will be following you with the teacher that will be giving you instructions through the radio helmet for real time advice. With this system, the next steps of riding in both directions, stopping and transitioning, as well as the more advanced maneuvers can be learnt in a safe and efficient way.
