In a few words
If you have a good skill level, come ride and jump on a flat spot.
You'll be tacking and sailing upwind. You'll be completely independent in your practice. This trip is for you. You can practice at your own pace during the sailing center's opening hours. Before each session, receive instructions and advice on sailing in the most suitable area, as well as guidance on kite sizes.
You can use your own equipment, or rent it as an option when booking or on-site. If you don't have the skill level to sail safely, you won't be able to ride. Regardless of the spot, it's rare to have five days of wind during a week-long stay. On average, there are two to three windy days with winds between 15 and 25 knots, which is enough to practice and progress in good conditions. The stay includes practical sessions, theory lessons, and alternative activities on windless days.
