The Lesson plan for learning to kitesurf:

The kite needs to be pumped up and we need to connect and check the lines. The instructor will prepare the kite together with you. Teaching you how to set up your kite.

Kite surfing is an amazing AND safe sport. It is not a dangerous sport IF you take care of your safety. So after preparing the kite we will take a moment to teach you how you can practice safely with the kite. The instructor will show you the safety systems of the kite and he will teach you when and how to use them. He also learns you how to see where you can kitesurf safely and which weather conditions are suitable.

Now that you know how to practice in a safe way and you have mastered the safety systems, it is time to start flying the kite. You will learn how to keep the kite stable. How to control the kite with one hand. And how to start and land the kite.

So far we have been practicing everything on the beach. But Kite-surfing is a watersport so it is time to put on our wetsuit and life vest and jump in the water. You will learn to bodydrag. Body dragging means using the kite to pull you through the water. This is to learn how to control the kite while you are in the water. You will also learn how to relaunch the kite (Bringing the kite from the water back up in the air).

With the kite now fully under your control it is time to start practicing with the board. We will teach you how to safely enter and exit the water with the board. You will learn how to bodydrag with the board to get away from the beach. And you will learn how to get the board on your feet. With the board on you will practice how to position your body to prepare yourself for the waterstart.

To get up on to the board and start riding we need to learn the waterstart. You will learn how to use the power of the kite to pull your body forward and on the the board. The instructor will teach you how to move your body and how to get the right amount of power from the kite.

Now that you are able to get up on the board we will start riding downwind. We will show you the correct posture. You will learn to keep your balance on the board. We will also teach you how to control your speed and how to come to a controlled stop.

After learning how to ride downwind in both directions it is time to start riding upwind. We will teach you how to steer the board by edging it. You will also be shown how to adjust your posture for riding upwind.

Congratulations! After learning to ride upwind you can rent our equipment. You are now an independent kitesurfer.
