I’am offering kitesurfing lessons for all abilities, from complete beginner courses to advanced coaching with pro riders. Each course runs along strict VDWS parameters, with a maximum of 2 students per instructor and safety as the primary concern. I’am also offer an individual lessons.
All equipment is included. Lessons are taught by our highly experienced instructor with brand new Cabrinha equipment. Everyone progresses differently so I’m try to customise each course for each individuals maximum enjoyment.
The lesson durations are rough guides and the courses often overrun – we finish when all is complete, you’ve had a fun session and a good go at everything, not when the clock says so.
