What do you learn?
Our competency-based courses ensure you never get out of your depth and unsafe. Walk before you run! We start with the very basics of choosing a safe location and reading the wind, on to basic unpowered flight skills, powered flight skills, basic water and safety skills, then water-starting and riding a board. When you show competency in a skill we move on to the next. You don't waste time but you do stay safe. The average person is learning the water start and board skills after 4 - 6 hours.
Courses:
Free Unlimited Lessons - Buy gear and we teach you for free.
Kitethrills commitment to after sales service is highlighted with this incredible offer. If you know you want to get in to kitesurfing - then you will need to buy the gear. If you buy a kite, board and harness from Kitethrills, we will teach you to use it, however long it takes, until you are satisfied you are riding comfortably. No rush, no stress, just good times as you learn to ride for free. This is simply the best way to get into the sport. Learn with the best school for free. Take over $700 worth of lessons for nothing.
New packages range from $2600 - $3300 depending on kite size, brand choice, and optional extras such as bouyancy vest, helmets, board leash, board bag, water glasses, wetsuits, etc
