Kitesurfing for beginners

Before heading to the water, here are some tips that will have you gliding smoothly!

  • Don’t hold the bar by the edges, this will make turning too powerful and you may end up falling. Instead, hold the bar closer to the centre.
  • Make sure your chest is facing towards the kite – if you don’t lean back at the right angle, it’s easy to be pulled over by the wind.
  • Practice controlling your kite on the ground before heading out to the water, as it will improve your instincts when you’re on the waves – this will most likely be part of your instructions if taking lessons.

All the teachers at Easyriders are qualified and can assure you have a brilliant time, so all you need is determination and the want to succeed on the waves!
