Kite Surfing Experience Days: A 2 day Kitesurfing course is, quite frankly, an absolutely
perfect introduction to the sport that we at Experience Days
consider to be the most exciting, most extreme and most innovative
watersports out there.
Kiteboarding - or kitesurfing - is the happy
result of the evolution of various other extreme water sports.
It
combines elements of surfing, windsurfing, wake boarding and
paragliding.
The huge and powerful kites, and the exceptionally
lightweight boards mean that dedicated kite surfers can achieve
some really exceptional feats (pier jumping to name one!), and new
technologies and equipment developments give kite boarders higher
performance opportunities than many of the longer-established
watersports.
Over the two day kitesurfing lesson you will practice the basic but
essential kitesurfing skills - and vital safety practices - that
you should know if you want to practise riding solo safely.
Luckily
for all potential boarders, these skills are relatively easy to get
the hang of, and at the conclusion of the 2 day course most
students will achieve BKSA Level 1 certificate, with some talented
folks even managing to get to Level 2!Day one is all about getting
to know the equipment and learning how to fly a kitesurf kite
(which is 90% of what kitesurfing is about), you will also learn
about important safety procedures and you should finish the day
body-dragging which is huge fun but expect to get a mouth full of
water! Day two is all about trying to get up on the board and
moving and you may start to learn plenty more such as rules of the
road and the holy grail of learning to kitesurf which is riding up
wind.
