Kitesurfing Courses

We have a wide selection of courses here at TryKitesurfing.com to suit every requirement. From 1/2 day taster sessions to advanced lessons from a PKRA top 10 professional. Our most popular course is our 2 day course, which takes you from zero to hero in 2 short but very intensive, fun filled days.

We run courses every windy weekend throughout the warmer months (May - early October). We keep a lot of space free in our schedule in case we have spells of poor weather - so if the calendar looks a tad empty - it's because we are trying to play catchup with cancelled courses. Please check back regularly for new courses being added. This year has been particularly poor (that damn jet stream!). We're doing what we can to get on top of it - please be patient!

We supply state of the art equipment from Naish, Best Kiteboarding & Ocean Rodeo on all courses, including wetsuit, bouyancy aid, helmet and of course kite. Each course has an excellent student instructor ratio, with all our instructors being fully IKO or BKSA certified.
