Lesson 1- Red Baron Kiteboarding School

Lesson 1 is conducted in a group, is a minimum two hours duration and costs $180 per personl including GST.

Gift vouchers are available.

As a newcomer to kiteboarding the place to start is at lesson 1. This includes instruction over 2 hours on:

How to set your kite up
How to launch with an assistant
How to self launch
How to fly the kite [with plenty of hands on practice throughout the lesson]
How to water re launch the kite
3 methods of self rescue
How to choose a safe kiting location
Basic meteorology and wind knowledge
How to operate a kite’s safety systems
Give way rules

Towards the last half hour of the lesson we get in the water, practise a few water relaunches and then do some downwind body dragging whereby you’re in control of the kite, generating as much or as little power as is comfortable to have the kite tow you through the water, downwind . . . a lot of fun!
