The wind arrives like an appointment at Flag Beach — steady, predictable, and eager to push you off shore. On day one you stand on the wide sand strip outside Corralejo, kit laid out, instructor at your side. An hour of theory covers safety, wind windows, and self-rescue; then you pump up and practice beach flying for roughly three hours, learning kite control, crashing and relaunching.

Conservation
Respect dune vegetation and marked pathways; operators minimize beach impact by using designated launch zones and briefings on wildlife disturbance.

Arrive early for kit setup
Give yourself 30–45 minutes before class to sign waivers, try on the wetsuit and get a safety briefing without rush.

Know your swimming limits
You’ll enter the water on day two; be honest about your swim ability and tell instructors about any medical issues.
Listen to the safety brief
Kite control and self-rescue skills are the base of progress — prioritize mastering relaunch and boardless water skills.
