Introduce your kids to the waters in a safe environment!
This private, 8-hour course (4 sessions x 2 hours) will guide them through everything they need to know to become competent windsurfers. A qualified instructor will be on hand to teach them the basics so they can get on the board and balance themselves before they're ready to surf the sea. Starting with the very basics to the advanced abilities of steering, tacking, jibing, and using the harness, this course will cover it all.
Not only is windsurfing a great way to spend some time outdoors, but it's also a challenging and stimulating exercise that's suitable for all!
For kids below the age of 10, the instructor will incorporate more fun and game elements to make the kitesurfing learning process more enjoyable!
