Description: Kiteboarding consists of many simple, yet unintuitive skills. We designed a set of exercises to develop these skills one at a time. Kite Skills lesson includes everything you need to know about flying a large inflatable power kite in the water. By the end of the lesson, you should be ready to start learning to ride.
Goal: To prepare you for getting up on the board (water starts) and riding
Time: All our services are FULL DAY activities (usually over 5 hours and sometimes as much as 8 hour on the water) - we start when the wind starts in the morning or early afternoon and we finish when the wind ends or the sun starts setting. On most days, we have plenty of time to complete the lesson goal; however, sometimes due to poor weather conditions or other issues, we have to call it quits early. For this reason only, we provide a guaranteed time for each lesson. If, for any reason, we are not able to spend this guaranteed time with you, we will refund or issue credit for the difference.
Guaranteed Time: 3 hours (if 1 student per instructor) or 5 hours (if 2 students per instructor).
Students per instructor: 1 or 2 depending on the day (usually 2 on weekends and 1 on weekdays)
Wind requirement: >10 knots, <25 knots
Prerequisites ** (see Intro Package):
* Green Hat Kiteboarding reserves the right to cancel the lesson without refunds or change the lesson plan and goal, if these prerequisites are clearly not met.
Includes:
What to bring:
Bad weather?
In case of unfavorable weather condition and or insufficient wind for at least 3 (1 on 1) or 5 (2 on 1) hours, you will receive a 1 year credit for the portion of the lesson that day that can be used towards a purchase of equipment or lessons. In case of no wind at all, you have an option to receive a full refund.
Note:
* We highly recommend "Progression: Beginner" DVD for these topics; however, this knowledge could be acquired from different sources (other videos, lessons, internet, etc.) To satisfy the prerequisites for this lesson we offer an Intro to Kiteboarding package.
Please allow extra time to spend on the island and be free of any commitments for the remainder of the day until at least 7 pm as wind may not immediately cooperate.
