Your adventure starts here! Are you new to the world of kitesurfing and want to learn all the theoretical and practical fundamentals of this sport? This course is designed for you!
The course is structured as an intensive three-day program, each day combines theory sessions on land and practice in the water to build a solid foundation that will be fundamental to your path. You will learn about the equipment, safety techniques and the first maneuvers with the kite, until you take your first steps on the board by making the first tacks, always being followed with a radio helmet.
Guided by our certified instructors, the course will allow you to progress quickly, always in total safety. During our course we will always be taught self rescue, a mandatory self-rescue procedure in order to become independent riders. The wind on Lake Como can blow both in the morning and in the afternoon, which is why the course program may vary according to the forecast, in order to make the most of all the wind days available.
