Key stages in learning to kitesurf for beginners
Discovering the activity of kitesurfing for beginners in different stages: discovering the environment and the equipment, learning the safety rules, piloting the kite and mastering the glide.
Quality equipment adapted for an introduction to kitesurfing
-
1
A harness
so that you can attach your kite and use your body as an anchor point and have your arms available for steering the kite.
-
2
A wider board
and longer than the classic boards. It offers beginners more stability and facilitates the first water starts and first edges because it has more lift.
-
3
The wings
for beginners allow a better take off from the water. They are less reactive, less fast so as not to surprise the kiteboarding beginner who has not yet mastered the piloting of the sail.
In order to practice safely without risk of injury, beginners are equipped with additional protective equipment:
- A protective helmet.
- A buoyancy waistcoat, comfortable and adapted to kitesurfing.
- A 3 to 6 mm wetsuit adapted to various temperatures.
At the end of your course, you will have the possibility to transform your weekend course into a Kitesurf advanced lesson.
