Product Description

2 day Kitesurf Lesson (max of 4 people / class):

For people who are keen to take up kitesurfing. Covering the basics of kite flying, types of equipment, setting up the equipment, safety principles and guidelines, body dragging in the water and your very first attempts at riding with a board.

NEKitesurfing is getting very busy for the 2008 season. Please book early to avoid disappointment. .



Update: You cannot purchase this item without first contacting NEKitesurfing at nekitesurfing@yahoo.co.uk. This is why we have set the item as 'Out of Stock'. This is so that we can ensure you can be taught relatively soon as we do get booked up a long way in advance. Apologies for this inconvenience.

Further Information:

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 / BKSA 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.

Please note: This course will cover everything you need to know to be able to practise this amazing sport yourself after the course. However, please be aware that it is unlikely that you will be able to ride of into the distance, do a jump and then come back to shore! This is where it's a case of practise, practise, practise which you will be able to do in a safe and self-sufficient manner after the 2 day course.

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 enquire to see if any of the NEKitesurfings suits will fit you. If not, please arrange your own wetsuit by either hiring in advance at the Tynemouth Surf Company or Rubber Soul in Tynemouth or purchasing you own prior to the course. Please contact NEKitesurfing if you need any help on wetsuits.

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, insurance and of course the instructor!

Price:

2 Day Weekend Kitesurfing course = £195 / person (maximum of 4 people)

What happens after you've paid for the course?

Once you've paid for the course through the online shop NEKitesurfing will email you all available course dates as well as a link to a booking form which needs to be downloaded, completed and sent back to us to secure your place.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact NEKitesurfing to discuss further.
