You will learn to read and understand wind direction, speed, and how it affects kiteboarding. You will be familiarize with safety procedures and protocols, including emergency signals and equipment use.

You will learn how to setup and rig all necessary equipment. We will reference on land lesson setup, as most of our students will be taking their skills to the beach!

You will learn how to safely operate and control the kite. This allows us to work on power strokes. A powers stroke uses the kites movement through the wind window to create power. The wind window is an imaginary, three-dimensional area downwind of the kite where the wind propels the kite. Imagine it as a half-sphere centered around you, extending downwind.

Before getting on the board, we will practice body dragging in the water to get a feel for controlling the kite while being pulled through the water. Body dragging is essential to retrieve your board or get to safety if needed.

A water start in kiteboarding refers to the technique of getting up on the kiteboard from a floating position in the water and transitioning to riding with the kite's power.

Riding upwind on a kiteboard is the ability to navigate in a direction against the wind, allowing a kiteboarder to make progress upwind or against the wind's force. This skill is crucial in kiteboarding as it enables riders to control their trajectory, explore different areas on the water, and eventually return to their starting point or desired location.
