FROM RIDING UPWIND TO AIR TRICKS

Whoever already has the IKO level 3 certification can join this course to try the first freestyle tricks, improve navigation skills and correct some bad habits in order to enjoy time in the water worry-free.
DESCRIPTION
THEORY AND PRACTICE
Our Advanced Kiteboarding Course lasts 3 hours and it takes place in the water only.
Usually split into two lessons of 1,5h each, the course aims at perfectioning your in-water navigation techniques, your upwind riding skills or just learning new tricks, like toe-side riding or popping.
All our courses follow IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) training standards. You will be assisted during every step by our instructors in the flat and shallow waters of Punta Trettu lagoon, up until your first glides. On land, our instructors and our beach boy will organize the courses and will assist you in case of need.

You will be able to rent our kite equipment if your instructor assesses your level as suitable for independently riding. That means that you need to be able to ride upwind, recover your kite in an emergency situation and know all the safety procedures.
Unfortunately we offer semi-private classes only to people that already know each other
No problem! If your instructor assesses that your levels are too different, he will simply divide you and you will carry on with private hours.
No problem!
The semi-private course is doable as far as your weight difference is no more than 10kg. If the difference is more, you will have to carry on with private lessons as soon as you will start to do power exercises with the kite.
