Why the lagoon is ideal
Flat water, shallow bottom over large areas, no waves: you can stand up easily and your instructor stays close. It is reassuring and you progress fast.
How many days to ride independently?
It depends on the wind and on you. A course spread over several days lets you move from kite control to water starts and first runs.
| Stage | Content | Indicative time |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Safety, kite control on the beach | 1 session |
| In the water | Body drag, board recovery | 1 to 2 sessions |
| First runs | Water start, supervised runs | 2 to 3 sessions |
| Independence | Riding upwind, supervised riding | Depends on progress |
Gear and budget
Schools provide gear during lessons (kite, board, harness, wetsuit, helmet). Budget depends on the format: group lessons, private lessons or a full course. Ask us for a quote for your dates.
Questions
Do I need to be very fit?
Normal fitness is enough: the harness takes the pull at your hips, not your arms. Being able to swim is essential.
