At the agreed time, depending on the wind and tide, we will meet on site for your first kitesurfing session.
Beginner level: We'll start with a brief introduction to the equipment and safety procedures, then quickly move on to sail handling exercises. The goal of this session is to familiarize you with the various sail controls and ultimately make you feel comfortable enough to go out on the water the following day.
Intermediate or advanced level: This is your first kitesurfing coaching lesson. You'll use this opportunity to review what you want to improve in your practice during your stay.
Day 2 -
It's time to go in the water!

Beginner level: We'll meet at the harbor, get ready, and head out on the boat for our first kitesurfing sessions in the water. Away from obstacles and other water users, you'll be able to focus exclusively on practicing the exercises you'll be taught. You'll start with body dragging, meaning being in the water with just the kite and learning to move safely. Once you're confident, we'll explain how to use the board for your first attempts at getting up on the water.
Intermediate or advanced level: You continue to practice kitesurfing in order to progress with the help of the coach.
