You deserve to fly!
…literally. Kitesurfing is one of the fastest growing and most exciting sports in the world (Hey, we even almost knocked Windsurfing out of the 2016 Olympics…).
As a Kitesurfer you’ll get to enjoy the free natural power of the wind and water in a way that most people will never experience – as often as you like, at no cost.
But here's the problem – Kitesurfing is not quite as easy as it looks. Hurting yourself or someone else, damaging your gear or nearly drowning in the process wouldn't really be the fun you had in mind, would it? The truth is, Kitesurfing can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
Of course not everyone who gives it a shot with borrowed gear and no clue gets hurt in the process (I actually started that way myself, but that was in the nineties…) I can assure you though that the people who are well informed and properly instructed learn a LOT faster and walk away from their first sessions with a lot less bruises and frustration.
In other words, those who start Kitesurfing more easily, faster and while having more fun are the ones who take the extra steps to learn the fundamentals.
Don’t worry though, because here's your solution...
