NEKitesurfing: Kitesurf 2 day Weekend Course

The 2 day weekend course is for people who have already decided that kitesurfing is for them.  This is the best way to discover kitesurfing.  This course follows the IKO syllabus which will cover the following areas:

  • Wind effects and the wind window

  • Safety aspects of kitesurfing

  • Steps of piloting a 2 and 4 line kite

  • Equipment set up

  • Launching and landing

  • Water relaunching your kite

  • Body Dragging through the water

  • Self rescue techniques

  • Your first attempts at getting up on the board

  • Equipment advice

Your achievements on the course will then be certified with the IKO Kiteboarder card which will give you a recognised level of achievement.

Prerequisites:

  • Be able to swim 25m and be confident in the 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!
