スペインのタリファでのカイトボーディングレッスン

Frequently Asked Questions: What do I need to bring with me to the lesson? Not much – just yourself, something snug to wear under a wetsuit, and a towel and some warm clothes to put on afterwards. What lessons format is best for beginners? We recommend private lessons if you’ve never tried kitesurfing before as this gives you 100% of the instructor’s attention, but semi private lessons can work too. It’s probably best to wait until you have a basic level of competence to try group lessons as they might not give you the level of attention you need at first. Is it safe? Kitesurfing is safe as far as anything is safe – if you do it properly, listen to the instructor, and follow the safety guidelines then it’s really unlikely anything will go badly wrong. What happens if there’s no wind? That’s pretty unlikely in Tarifa, but if it does happen we will either reschedule your lesson, offer you another activity to an equal value or refund you if you paid in advance. It’s not your fault if the wind doesn’t blow! How many hours at a time should I do? That depends on a you really, but usually for a beginner 3-4 hours a day is about right. How many hours will it take for me to be independent? That’s a pretty individual thing, but most people are up and riding on their own after about 12 hours of instruction. Some sooner, some later. But we’ll get you there. How old does someone need to be to learn kitesurfing? Kids learn particularly quickly, but because of the power of the kites we’re careful about teaching the younger ones. We have developed a special methodology for kids lessons, but usually we recommend they are at least six year old before learning.
