Check tide times before you go
Tidal flats can be extensive; high tide gives deeper water for waterstarts while low tide can expose mud and shells—plan lessons accordingly.
Wear sun-protective layers
Long hours on flat water increase sun exposure—use a long-sleeve rashguard, SPF 50 sunscreen and a hat for pre/post lessons.
Bring a water bottle and hydrate
Kiteboarding is aerobic; dehydration affects balance and concentration—carry at least 1–2 liters for a 3‑hour session.
Confirm medical restrictions
This activity requires good cardiovascular and spinal health; if you have recent injuries or pregnancy, skip the lesson.
Kiteboarding gear (kite, control bar, harness, board)
Provided by the school, but confirm sizes and quality before arrival.
Rashguard or thin wetsuit
Protects from sun and chafing; spring waters may be cooler, so a thin suit helps.
