Your session starts on the beach where you meet your instructor and get sized up for all your gear.
Before touching the water, you will go through the essential land-based fundamentals. This includes reading local wind and weather patterns, assessing the beach environment safely and running through your equipment checks so you understand exactly how the control bar and safety systems operate.
Once the safety briefing is out of the way, you move straight into handling the kite on land. You will learn how to launch, steer and slow down the kite while keeping your feet planted on the sand, giving you a clear idea of how much power the wind creates.
After getting comfortable with land steering, you move into the water to put those techniques into action.
Your instructor guides you through essential water safety procedures, including how to relaunch the kite when it hits the waves and how to carry out a full deep-water self-rescue. You will spend time body-dragging through the water using the kite's power, working on continuous steering control and getting comfortable with how the kite responds in the sea.
Everything you need for the session is supplied on site, including a fitted wetsuit based on your measurements. All you need to bring along are your swimming clothes, trainers for the beach, warm layers and a light waterproof jacket to shield against the coastal breeze while you get ready.
