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.

The right choice if you have little or no previous experience in other related sports. The intensive basic course therefore offers you 4 hours more teaching time than the normal basic course.
In the intensive basic course you have 3 to 5 days of lessons (depending on the wind) with a total of 12 lessons. In order to practise and internalise the movements you have learned, we also work with a lot of training time in the second part of the intensive basic course. The course is designed in such a way that you can practise on your own afterwards without any danger.
You will learn the important elements of kitesurfing in a group of 4 to 6 people. For safety reasons, in the basic course, two students share one set of kitesurf training equipment. Students who progress faster can upgrade to (semi-)private training upon request.

If you have already completed a basic course but don't yet feel confident enough to practise on your own. Your last attempts at kitesurfing were a little further back or the water start hasn't worked properly yet. We build on your existing skills and get you on the board with confidence. During the course, students (usually in pairs) share a kite and a board.
In the past, we have realised that almost all students lack a significant amount of experience in movement and kite control after a basic course. It is therefore not advisable to go straight onto the water with a board at this point, but to start with body drag.
Contents:
-
Theoretical basics (bodydrag, waterstart + riding)
-
Practical training bodydrag, waterstart + riding
-
Tips + tricks for riding and flying technique
