Depending on your kite control skills, you should be able to ride comfortably on your board in both directions. You will also be able to setup/pack down your equipment on your own without any assistance. When arriving at the beach, you will have the ability to assess the location (pros, cons, dangers) and the wind conditions (strength, direction, effects). With KiteBud you will learn practical safety drills and demonstrate your competence in being able to get yourself out of trouble (self-rescue) when anything goes wrong. We will also teach you more advance skills such as self-launching and self-landing.

I Have had 10 hours lessons with Sylvie: loved it !!! I was a bit scared of kite surfing and she took time to explain me all the safety procedure so that I feel very confident now 🙂 Lessons of 2-hours are truly 2hours as we come 30 minutes earlier to prepare the kite. Feedback with videos, pictures is very nice and helpful. In summary, very professional and friendly teaching, super experience ! Thank you Sylvie and Christian !😊😊😊
