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

We teach in private lessons (1:1) or small 2 people group lessons (1:2). This is important for proper learning and your safety (big groups of 4-8 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 course B - Beginners II - directly after your beginners course A.
