Name: Full House Kitesurfing Lesson Package
SKU: 180703

The Full House Kitesurfing Lesson Package is a 2 day fully comprehensive kitesurfing course.

The first day's lesson starts in Blouberg with your IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation) certified instructor conducting an introduction to Kitesurfing theory session and flying techniques. On the second day you head off to Langebaan, where it gives you the opportunity to gain more time to concentrate on getting up and riding on the board and better kite control. The art of edging the board is covered in your two day course and this is one of the techniques.

What to Wear / Equipment

You should dress appropriately for the weather on the day - unfortunately it is not always bright sunshine and 30 degrees on the beach!
The first part of any course is land based so you will need trainers or other flat, sensible shoes, and warm clothes.
You should also bring a drink, a snack, and sun protection and sun glasses for the warmer months. When you are in the water, swimming trunks, swimming costumes and bikinis are fine to wear underneath the wetsuit. And, of course, don't forget to bring a towel!
Everything else you need to do the course will be provided. This includes wetsuits, life jackets, helmets, kites, boards, harnesses, leashes, bar and lines and insurance.

Group Size / Spectators

2 students per instructor.
Spectators are welcome, but please find out from the instructors where the safest place to stand and watch is.

Weather

Kitesurfing is a weather-dependent sport - you need sufficient wind & tides to move.
It is important to be aware of changes in the wind speed, direction and sea state; it's a good idea to check a couple of forecasts before you go kitesurfing.
