Land Boarding Experience Days: Landboarding is a fast and exciting sport that draws from
kitesurfing, snowboarding and skateboarding, and it's not hard to
see why its popularity is growing so rapidly in the UK.
One of the
best things about kite landboarding is that it can be performed on
the beach or grassland with equal success; unlike kitesurfing or
snowboarding, which rely on specific conditions and strong wind in
order to be carried out, landboarding allows you to get your kite
out and cruise along virtually wherever you are.
As awe-inspiring as it looks, it is not difficult to become a kite
landboarder.
This fantastic two day course is designed to make you
a self-sufficient land boarder, and will provide you with a safe,
fun and exciting environment to learn and to progress.
The course
covers a range of subjects, though the majority is spent flying and
developing your new kite and board skills.
Harnessing the wind's
power is great fun and hugely rewarding when reaching high speeds -
give it a go now and see how far you come!On the first day you will
start your day with a short safety briefing before being
familiarised with the equipment - land board, kite, harness etc.
Then it's time to have some fun! You will learn to fly and control
traction kites which will get you used to the power that the kites
generate.
Once your kite skills are developed it is time to get you
onto the board to enjoy your first runs.
Day two is all about
building on what you have learned on day one and improving your
land boarding skills, you will practice techniques such as edging
and if you are feeling brave you might want to start doing your
first jumps!
