Below is the outdated information, describing our old beginner courses.

IMPORTANT: For kitesurfing beginners we recommend our 15-days intensive A+B+C+D kitesurfing beginners crash course .. not only to get you just on the board, but to make you a fully independent kitesurfer, so that you can kitesurf properly anywhere. It combines the standard 3-days kitesurfing course A (similar like the German VDWS, British BKSA advise it, just more comprehensive, because we need to prepare you for the next course modules) with our advanced kitesurfing course module B+C+D (2+5+5 days). On this page you find the description of the standard 3 days kitesurfing course A. On the next page you see the description of kitesurfing course B+C+D.


Prerequisites - Your level of
kitesurfing before you enter this course:

You should be able to swim and have an at least average fitness level.

 

The goal of course A, and what you can do after this course:

The goal of Course A (standard kitesurfing beginner course) is to get you on the board. All equipment is included (kites, board, harness, wetsuit, buoyancy west, helmet, ...).

 

 

What you will learn in course A - kitesurfing for beginners and the course breakdown

Learn kitesurfing Level 1 / Day 1 (4 hours)


Learn kitesurfing Level 2 / Day 2 (4 hours)


Learn kitesurfing Level 3 / Day 3 (4 hours)

All equipment and materials are included in your kitesurfing beginners course A.

Please note: Transport to Langebaan lagoon, Melkbos or Strand, where we might go during the first days of your course A, is not included in the course fees. Best is to use your own (or rented) car or we may offer transportation for a low price.

Please note: Langebaan is only a good place during your first 3 days of your kitesurfing course (which is your course A, and we also often go there). But thereafter, as soon as you have learned to waterstart, Langebaan is NOT a good place to learn. To learn fast from day 4 onwards, you simply need the DOWNWIND METHOD. You can do the downwind method only in a few places in the world, for instance with us in Cape Town. Details on the downwind method you can find on our page for kitesurfing course B.

We teach in private lessons (1:1) or small 2 people group lessons (1:2). This is important for proper learning and your safety (teaching in big groups of 3-6 people, like other schools do it, is dangerous and it does not lead to any good learning results).

 

After kitesurfing beginner course A: The course A ends with your first water start and riding a few meters. To really get you on the board up and riding properly, riding comfortably into both directions, also in moderate waves, and do basic transitions (change of direction) and to be able to stay upwind, you will need our 11 days kitesurfing beginners course B - directly after your beginners course A.

Please select a date for your kitesurfing course A or kitesurfing beginners crash course A+B from our kitesurfing course table. This will make you a fully independent kitesurfer within 14 days during your holidays in fantastic Cape Town!
