About

In this 10-hour Zero To Hero kitesurfing lesson, a beginner can expect to learn the essential skills and techniques needed to start kitesurfing independently. The lessons typically cover both on-land and in-water training.

Key learnings include:

1. Kite Control: Understanding how to set up, launch, and land the kite safely, along with mastering basic kite handling techniques on land, such as steering, controlling power, and relaunching the kite from the water.
2. Safety: Learning essential safety procedures, including how to use the safety systems, understanding wind conditions, and practicing self-rescue techniques.
3. Body Dragging: Techniques for body dragging in the water, which involve using the kite's power to pull yourself through the water without a board, a crucial skill for board retrieval and control.
4. Water Start: Learning how to combine kite control with board handling to perform a water start, which involves getting up on the board and starting to ride.
5. Riding Basics: Once comfortable with the water start, the focus shifts to riding basics—maintaining balance, controlling speed, and understanding how to ride in both directions and going upwind.

By the end of the 10-hour session, students should be able to control the kite confidently, execute water starts, and ride short distances, positioning them well on their way to becoming independent kitesurfers.
