1 Day BKSA/IKO Beginners
The full beginners course is spread over three days and will get you to a level where you are safe to practice on your own, but some people choose to book just the first day of this course and complete the final two days at a later date if they enjoy it.
On the day you will take your first steps towards gaining your BKSA Kiteboarder card as you complete the most part of level 1 of the BKSA standards. You will be taught the basics of kite flying on foils and LEI kites, kite set up and pack down, launching and landing, kite retrieval and self rescue techniques. By the end of the day you will have grasped a lot of the theory and the basic flying techniques needed for kitesurfing and be ready to continue on to complete day 2 and 3 of the course and get body-dragging and then up and riding*.
Each day is approximately five hours long, four hours tuition and a break for lunch**. No previous experience is required but any background in powerkiting, wake boarding, windsurfing, sailing or surfing will definitely help you progress further during the course.
The only thing we do recommend is not to have too bigger break before you finish the course so that you do not forget everything and slow the progress of others when you return.
*Not all students will successfully achieve all the course aims as it is dependant on the individual’s own ability.
** The course duration does not include getting changed /unchanged because of this, students must allow more than five hours each day to complete the course. If weather/tide conditions are not favourable we may also have to delay the start time or miss the lunch break.
