Master the kitesurfing kite! Daily 11:30-2:30
Lesson starts on beach and moves to the water as you progress. This is very tricky but the instructor will break this down into small steps in the appropriate order to make riding possible for most anyone. You will have time to experience and master your skills with the full sized kitesurfing kites. Most don't understand that mastering the kite is the trick to this sport, and its best done on the beach. With the kite under control you can safely progress to the water with your instructor right next to you. No special athletic ability or strength is needed. This will be a great experience to feel and control the power of the larger kites, and with your instructor's help the kite can pull you like a dolphin in the water! Your instructor can take some photos or videos on this once in a lifetime experience. 3 hours, 11:30-2:30, or 3-6. Typically 1-4 students.
