This kitesurfing course gets you ready for the water start class. We have one simple goal with all
our students, create independent riders. We know you're excited to ride, however, there is alot to
learn if you want to safely kiteboard on your own. Trust us, you want to learn this stuff.
Kiteboarding Lesson 2: Water Start - 2/3hrs. $100us ( lessons 1 & 2 =$190us )
This second class is designed to build on all the skills covered in the intro adding in the board and
working on getting your first rides. The beginning of the lesson usually involves some practice
getting the board on while flying the kite, staying squared up to kite with board on the feet. Next
you'll be generating some power and popping out of the water for the first time.

Kiteboarding Lesson 3: Intermediate riding - $100 2/3 hrs. (lessons 1,2 & 3 $270us)
Many people choose to make the most of their time in paradise by taking further lessons. After
getting the water start, some of the next skills include staying upwind, transitions, riding toeside,
and of course jumping. You can move through these skills quickly when guided by an instructor,
not to mention avoiding frustration and reducing the chance of injury. Advanced lessons will
focus on areas you wish to improve and are by definition always customized to the individual.
Our own redeye campbel and 'boo jr gong' have developed a reputation as the island's best
instructors. If you want to take your riding to the next level, hook up with The Boys.
Everyone works hards for their $, yet some people take two weeks of these every year
• Learned kite functionality, operation, and safety
• Body dragged (the power was awesome, it pulled me out of the water on many
occasion)
• Relaunched the kite numerous times
• Improved kite skills to control movements in the water
• Learned to fly blind while maneuvering the board on to my feet
• Worked the power zone to attempt water launch on board
• Practiced balance while water launching
• Kept water launching, but was unable to stay up and balanced, and would fall
immediately (This can be a bit frustrating as there are many things to coordinate
simultaneously, however, persist, it will come. As Jeff said "It ain't sledding!")
Lesson 3 First Half
• Became more proficient with the kite and maneuvering the board onto my feet.
• Consistently found the power zone for water launch, but struggled with the balance of
getting up and riding. Basically a continuation of the end of the last lesson.
But then
• Got up and Rode 50 meters!
• then 100 meters
• then a poor launch, and fall
• then a 200 meter run
• and another 200 meter run
• IT JUST CLICKED!
