NEKitesurfing: Kitesurfing 1 Day Taster Course

NEKitesurfings one day taster kite surf courses gives you the chance to experience the thrill of kiteboarding without the additional cost or time taken in the 2 day kite surf course. The taster day gives you a basic grounding in the concepts of kite surfing and you will end the day in the water learning how to body drag giving you an incite into the world of kiteboarding.  However, if you are pretty sure that you will enjoy the sport, take a look at the 2 day kitesurf course which will build in more depth the skills to become an independent kitesurfer.

Kiteboarding taster lessons  are taught by a fully qualified and accredited instructor.  A wetsuit will be required during the course. NEKitesurfing does have a limited number of wetsuits and wetsuit hire from the nearby surf shop is possible so please contact if this is an issue.  NEKitesurfing will supply everything else you need for your kitesurf lesson from harness, board, kite, helmet, and of course you qualified kite surf instructor.

There will be a maximum of 4 people on the taster course which runs over weekends during the period of March to October each year, weather permitting.

Pre-requisites:

  • You must be able to swim 25m and be confident in water.
  • If you have no previous kite flying experience, I would strongly recommend you either purchase a 2-3m 2/4 line traction kite and become competant at kite flying or book the 1/2 day powerkiting course with NEKitesurfing.
  • You must be 18 years or over to take part in a kitesurfing course.  If you are under 18, a parent must be present during the entire course.
  • You are advised to bring your own wetsuit if you own one. NEKitesurfing only has a limited supply of wetsuits. If you do not own your own wetsuit, please check to see if we have one that will fit you. 
  • Have tons of enthusiasm to try this amazing sport
  • Warm clothes and a jacket for land based activities.
  • NEKitesurfing will provide the rest of your equipment, including kites, harnesses, buoyancy aids, helmets and of course the instructor!
