Why take lessons?

To take kiteboarding lessons or not is a question that pops up all the time. The fact of the matter is there is no question. Kiteboarding lessons are a must. Here are 10 reasons why you should take kiteboarding lessons:
1) Safety
Kiteboarding is a dangerous sport. Taking lessons will familiarize you with the safety aspects of the sport and how your equipment works. Knowing this means a safer experience for yourself and those around you.
2) Jumpstart your learning experience
Why take months to learn kiteboarding when you can be up and riding in as quick as a few hours? The quickest way to get on the water is to invest in kiteboarding lessons. Kiteboarding instructors use proved teaching methods that will get you on the water in no time.
3) Save Money
A kiteboarding rig can cost anywhere from €1500 and upwards. That's a lot of money to spend if you're not sure if this sport is for you. A full package of kiteboarding lessons with us costs €380. Taking kiteboarding lessons will give you an idea of if the sport is for you or not.
4) Trash someone else's gear
The first few hours on a kite you are sure to give IT a decent beating as you will be dropping it constantly. If you take lessons you get to use our equipment, and we're used to our gear getting trashed!
5) Meet other kiteboarders
There's nothing more intimidating than starting a new sport without knowing anyone. Lessons with us are a great place to meet other beginners just like you. We also do our best to hook you up with some other riders in your area after the course.
6) Get cheaper gear
Our students get a 5% discount on any gear they buy after the lessons, with a 10% discount if you buy a full package of equipment.
7) Knowledge
You didn't think you can start kiteboarding by reading your kite manual or browsing the net did you? No book or site can replace one on one instruction. Our instructors will teach you valuable knowledge such as how to rig your lines, how to self launch your kite, how to relaunch your kite, how to kite safely, how to go upwind, etc. We also have loads of local knowlege so ask us anything about kiting can think of!
8) Learn in safe conditions
If you start by yourself you will have no idea what kind of condtions are safe to learn in. How would you know if the wind is too strong, or even how to read the wind? We will take you to a beginner-safe beach that will make your learning experience safe and pleasant.
9) Try out different gear
We have a good range of kiteboarding gear that is ready to demo. Like test driving a car, it''s important to try your gear before you buy.
10) Peace of mind
Taking a lesson with us means a kiteboarding instructor is there to help when you need help. If you drop your kite or loose your board we will be there to grab it. We won't desert you after the lesson either - we will be on the beach to give you advice for as long as you need it.
