Kitesurfing is a water sport that combines the power of a kite with riding on a board. If you want to learn how to kitesurf, it is recommended to take lessons to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for safe practice. Here’s what you can expect from a kitesurfing lesson:
-
Safety and Theory: At the beginning of your lesson, you will learn the basic rules and safety measures, as well as the theory behind how the kite works.
-
Equipment Setup and Handling: You will learn how to properly assemble and disassemble the kitesurfing equipment, including preparing the board, harness, and kite.
-
Kite Flying on the Beach: You will learn various maneuvers and kite-flying techniques on the beach under the supervision of your instructor.
-
Bodydrag: Once you have mastered kite flying on the beach, you will move on to bodydragging, where you use the kite to move through the water while being towed.
-
Waterstart: After learning bodydragging, you will learn how to perform a waterstart, which involves getting up on the board and starting to glide on the water.
-
Gliding and Basic Maneuvers: Once you successfully perform a waterstart, you will learn different basic maneuvers, such as straight-line navigation and turns.
