It only takes 15 minutes to get the basics and understand how fun and enjoyable Kitesports can be. The lessons are progressive; we start on easy, small kites until gradually you make your way up to the bigger, faster kites.

You will learn how to use the Earths natural energy to get you moving on the mountain board across flat plains of grass, reaching speeds of up to 50Kph The mountain board is like a giant skateboard, only instead of using your feet to propel yourself forward you use a kite!

Ever wanted to jump 30 feet into the air? Well guess what you can! Once you have mastered the kite and understand how to fully control it safely and effectively you will learn to use this to your benefit and get yourself to heights of 30 feet. It's an exhilarating and addictive experience that will give you hours and hours of fun.

Now it's time to get wet! You will take your kite skills into the water.  First you will learn the art of body dragging! Body dragging is using the wind to drag you through the water, a skill you must learn in order to kitesurf. Don't be worried it doesn't hurt one bit, in fact kids love it! Wear secure clothing though otherwise you might lose it!

When you're ready you will use a kite and board combination to kitesurf in the open water. A truly invigorating experience using the wind to ride waves, race at great speeds and jump to new heights.

As part of this package we will get you on travelling around on various board and wheel combinations. The Ripstick, Rollersurfer Board, Xliders and Freelines. These board sports have been specifically hand picked to maximize your fun and get your heart pumping. You will pick these up in no time.

This Experience comes with a BONUS 2.5 Power Kite that you can keep and practise with after your lessons are though.
