Questions
Do I need to be strong or fit?
No. We match the kite or wing size to you and the conditions, so it’s about technique, not strength. If you’re comfortable in the water, you can learn.
How long does it take to ride on my own?
Around 10 hours of lessons for kitesurfing and around 6 for wing foiling, though everyone progresses differently. Most people get their first rides around hours 5 to 6. Riding on your own means launching and landing safely, riding upwind and being able to self-rescue.
What happens if the wind isn’t right?
We only run lessons in good, safe conditions. If the wind is too light, too strong or blowing the wrong direction, we’ll contact you and reschedule for free. If the wind drops during your lesson, the remaining time is credited to your next one.
Do I need to buy gear first?
No. We provide everything, including wetsuits. Wait until you’ve finished your lessons, and we’re happy to give you advice on what to buy for your level, weight and budget.
Is there an age or weight limit?
Ages 10 and up are welcome. For kitesurfing, riders need to weigh at least 35 kg.
Can I upgrade after my first lesson?
Yes. If you upgrade from a 2hr Flex or 4hr half-day lesson to a 6hr or 10hr package within 14 days, you just pay the difference.
