Kite Surfing is Easier than Most People Think to Learn – Experience not Necessary.

The methods we use to teach is based on surfers experience and skill. We will support you to create attainable goals and help you reach them. Your natural ability, fitness, and motivation will determine how long it takes you to learn.

If you are an intermediate or experienced kitesurfer and want to extend your knowledge and ability, have a look at our intermediate-level courses. Even if you are experienced, you can still rent our surfing equipment or go kiting independently. We arrange trips to the best spots in Lanzarote and the neighbouring islands.

INTERMEDIATE KITE LESSONS – LEVEL 2

If you have a bit of kitesurfing experience under your belt, then you will want to join our intermediate course. We will help you improve your existing skills and control the kite better using your legs. You will also learn how to recover your board if you lose it to the sea and need to return upwind. Similar advanced and difficult situations will be taken into account at this stage to prepare our surfers for advanced kitesurfing situations. The speed at which you learn these higher techniques depends on the individual and can be affected by the weather as well as your natural ability. Remember, kite surfing is easy to learn but it requires practice, like everything in life!
