Kitesurf for beginners, from A to Z
The beginner kitesurf course is typically divided into 2-hour lessons to keep your attention level high and avoid overloading you.
At the end of the beginner course, you will be able to manage the kite safely and independently, and you will be ready to approach your first runs with the board.
Our courses follow the IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) methodology: You will be guided step by step by our instructors in the shallow, flat waters of the Punta Trettu lagoon, until your first runs.

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).
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.
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.
Unfortunately, we only accept course bookings for couples if the individuals already know each 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.
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.
