UCPA Kite Surf Half-Time Instruction


Credit UCPAUCPA Kite-Surf Instruction

Definately not for the feint hearted, this is a great way to learn kite surfing. Conditions are best for beginners / intermediates as the winds tend to be gentle in the mornings and pick up in the afternoons.

You will learn the basics of launching and landing the kite, where the power zone is, how to fly the kite to generate more power. On the water get into body dragging and water starting. Progress onto planing, getting upwind and hopefully gybing too. If there is no wind then you can practice wakeboarding, which is perfect for learning good body positioning for water starts.

The equipment is twin tip boards, with kites from F-One, all modern design and in good new condition.

The instruction is 5 1/2 day sessions, alternating morning & afternoon. Beginners may have 1 kite between 2 people so they can help each other launch & recover the kite.

  • Instruction: 4 half-day group lessons
  • Levels: All (divided into smaller groups)
  • Included: All technical equipment
  • Included: 6 Nights Accommodation & All Meals

Half-time Instruction gives you the opportunity to take advantage of both the instructor's advice and also spend time with friends.

Lessons are on the lake in the afternoon for the best conditions: kite-surfing "downwind" (you will be taken upwind by boat and surf downwind by kite!).  Possibility of "mixer" with wakeboarding in terms of level and the conditions.

This is certainly the best way to learn to kite-surf. Instruction is top level, and progress can be made very quickly if you are determined and fit!
