Wind runs like a visible current across Los Lances: a steady tug that lifts kites and pushes sailors down the long, flat stretch of sand. On a private two‑hour lesson with a certified IKO Level 2 instructor, that wind becomes a tool — taught, measured and translated into motion.

Arrive early for calm setup
Mornings often have more stable wind and fewer beachgoers, which makes rigging and first drills easier.
Bring a thin wetsuit outside summer
Water temperatures and wind chill can be significant; a 3/2mm suit keeps you comfortable during falls.
Know your weight and health limits
Instructors require weight info for proper kite sizing and will not teach with certain medical or spinal conditions.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Salt wind increases dehydration and sun reflection; use high‑SPF sunscreen and drink water before and after sessions.
Wetsuit (3/2mm)
Keeps you warm during falls and reduces wind chill on the straps and harness.
Helmet
Protects from hard landings and equipment impact; typically provided but you can bring your own.
Harness (waist or seat)
Essential for attaching to the kite; schools provide modern harnesses sized to the rider.
High‑SPF sunscreen and sunglasses with retainer
Protects skin and eyes from intense coastal sun and reflected glare on water.
