Kitesurfing is a wind powered surface watersport using a kite and a board to move across the water.
Kitesurfing harnesses the power of the wind through a large parachute type kite to propel a rider across the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (similar to a wakeboard).
We offer courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced students in Italian, English and German.
The courses take place everyday, both in the morning and in the afternoon, individually or in a group.
All the equipment is included: board, kite, shorty-wetsuit, life jacket, harness, helmet and boat assistance.
Blue Zone Sardinia is an RRD test center.
BEGINNERS
The course includes lessons on the land (theory and practice)and in the water.
The student will learn how to set up a trainer kite, he will know safe wind directions and conditions for kiting and the hazards on a spot, he will know the use of safety systems, he will have basic flying skills with trainer kite (a smaller kite) and later on a proper kite, he will launch and land the kite and he will control the kite hooked into the harness.
INTERMEDIATE
The student will learn how to enter and exit the water independently and safely while controlling the kite, how to water re-launch the kite, how to do a body drag (where you use only the kite, not the board) downwind and upwind, how to put the board on the feet and maintain the correct position for water start and finally how to manage water starts in both directions and ride a short distance.
ADVANCED
The student will learn how to ride in all directions consistently (including upwind), how to change the direction without stopping, he will know the theory and the safety rules for jumping and he will land a basic jump.
It is up to our instructors to decide whether a lesson is doable or not, depending on the weather conditions.
