HALF DAY, Land based taster £45

ONE DAY COURSE, £99
This is an introduction to Kite surfing. The morning is spent on land focusing on theory, safety and learning to fly kites. By midday you should have good control of the kite and a better understanding of wind and weather. The afternoon session will take place on the water learning to harness the full power of the kite, body dragging, re-launching and board starts all in the safety of a shallow sandy bay. By the end of the day you should be a competent kite flyer and possibly even be riding along on a board.

TWO DAY COURSE £195
The two day course starts with the day one programme (as above) but the second day is completely water based, focusing completely on board skilsl and riding. The learning curve on day two is affected by previous water sports experience. If you already have board riding skills such as wake boarding, surfing, windsurfing or skating your progress is likely to be quicker. If you have no previous experience we will ensure that you have the knowledge and tools that with a bit of practice you will be a safe and confident kite surfer.

THREE DAY COURSE £270
The three day course is a great way to fast track into the world of kite surfing. It follows the same structure as the one and two day course and will progress towards fully controlled riding. We will aim to make you an independent kite surfer with the confidence to set up your own equipment, launch independently, and ride confidently and safely in all wind conditions. We will also guide you into purchasing your own kit suited to your needs.

1:1 TUITION £30 PER HOUR
Tuition that centers around you and only you. A fantastic way to learn the sport at a pace that is tailored to you. 1:1 tuition is particularly well suited to those who have already had some tuition and want to push their skills further.

Ability

Many people miss out on the exciting world of kite surfing because of two great misconceptions; first they believe that you need years of experience in water sports, and second, massive upper body strength.

Xtremes-Learn2ride will quickly dispel these myths and you will soon realise that people with no water sport background can Learn2ride just as successfully as those with years of experience. And as far as spending hours in the gym is concerned; there is no need;, upper body strength is not a requirement. You will soon realize that the kite is very light in your hands and like all sports, good technique is the key, not bulging biceps and triceps.

What to wear.

Xtremes-Learn2ride provide all the necessary equipment for the water including kites, wetsuits, helmets and harnesses, all you need is a towel, sun cream and loads of enthusiasm. For day one when flying on land you will need suitable footwear, trainers are perfect during the summer, waterproof shoes are better during winter. Flip flops and high heels are not a good look.

Lunch,

This is completely up to you we can stop for an hour and have lunch in the pub on the beach. Or we can have sandwiches and be back on the water in 10 minutes. I would recommend and big breakfast so that we can spend as long as possible on the water.

Parking is not free at either Harbour Park or Sandbanks, please bring plenty of change with you.

Child Care,

We often get asked about nurseries for the little ones whilst you kite with us. A few good local nurseries include. Cuddles Nursery,Buffer Bear, Rainbow
