How to start kitesurfing?
Checking these videos could reduce the amount of lessons you needed to take to reach an independent level! Our goal is to teach you as fast as possible and let you practice safely on your own, rather than selling a lot of lessons.
Wind window
The wind window is a fundamental concept in kitesurfing.
Understanding the wind window will help you a lot when you start your lessons with us!
Holding the bar
This video will help you to understand how to control the kite. The position of the hands will be very important during your lessons.
Always check your spot
When you arrive to a new place, first you have to check if that spot is suitable for kitesurfing or not!

How to set up your gear
We teach how to set up the gear on the first lesson. During your following lessons with us, many times the equipment will be ready for you, so you can spend more time on the water. It is very important though to be confident when it comes to knowing the gear, so make sure you practice this part as well!
In this video you will learn how to set up your kite gear, what to check before you start to assemble, or during assembling.

Self rescue
It is very important to know how to activate your safety and if it’s needed how to pack your kite in the water and perform wing-tip sailing to get back to the shore. In this video, you will learn all of this and of course, we will also practice it during your lessons with us.
Body Drag
Upwind body drag is a very important skill in deep water.
We will show the technique to you briefly, but in our lagoon, it is not a necessity since you can stand up anywhere and just walk for your board.
