FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about kitesurfing courses.
Is the equipment included?
Certainly. We will provide everything: Wetsuit, Helmet, Life Jacket, Harness, Booties, Kite, Bar, and Board.
Is insurance required?
Yes, but it is included in the cost of the membership with our Sports Association. Membership is mandatory and necessary to access the courses.
Is a medical certificate required?
Yes.
For membership with any Sports Association (ASD) in Italy, it is necessary to present a valid non-competitive medical certificate.
Are there age or weight limits?
Yes.
The minimum age to start practicing kitesurfing is 12 years, while the minimum weight is 45kg.
Unfortunately, both conditions must be met in order to practice.
However, there is no maximum age or maximum weight!
What should I bring for the kite course?
Pack your bag as if you’re heading to the beach: Sunglasses (preferably with a strap to avoid losing them), Sunscreen, Swimwear, and Towel are essential.
Can I wear jewelry?
It is recommended to wear only waterproof watches and remove any accessories that could potentially tear or cause discomfort.
How long does it take to learn to plane on the board?
It depends on several factors, such as the wind, your attitude, your physical preparation, and how consistently you get in the water. On average, it takes at least 10 hours of practice to plane and maintain the edge (ride upwind).
I already have my own equipment, can I use it for the course?
Bring it with you! During the course, your instructor will show you how to assemble the equipment. At that point, they will assess whether your kite is suitable for the beginner course or if it’s better to use (especially for safety reasons) the school’s equipment.
I have completed the beginner course, can I rent the equipment?
You can rent the equipment if your instructor assesses that your level is suitable for going in the water independently. This means being able to perform emergency maneuvers, recover the kite and board, and know how to ride upwind.
I’m alone, can I join a group course?
Unfortunately, we only accept course bookings for couples if the individuals already know each other.
Group course: what happens if one of us is more skilled than the other?
It’s not a problem. If the instructor assesses that the levels are too different, they will separate you, and you will continue the remaining course hours in a private session.
Group course: what happens if one of us weighs more than the other?
It’s not a problem. The duo course is perfectly doable if the weight difference between the two participants is less than 10kg. If the weight difference is greater, the instructor will need to separate you after the initial piloting exercises.
