What's included
- Instructor with you the whole time
- Full kit included: kite, board, harness, vest and helmet
- Spot picked on the day based on wind and tide
- For total beginners and those looking to progress
Your first lesson
Nobody jumps on a board in the first five minutes, and that's fine. The lesson starts on the sand: the instructor explains where the wind comes from, how the kite creates power and, most importantly, how to let go if something goes wrong. Safety first, style later.
Then you head to the water, first with a trainer kite and then the real thing, doing bodydrags — letting the kite pull you through the water without a board. This is usually when everyone gets their first real laugh.
Where it happens
We pick the lesson spot on the day, based on wind and tide. Around Jeri and nearby there are open ocean patches and shallow, calm lagoons — perfect for beginners because you can stand and there are no waves. The instructor will tell you the meeting point and how to get there when they confirm your booking.
2 or 3 hours?
The 2-hour lesson is the ideal first taste: enough time to understand the kite, get in the water and feel the wind's power. If you've had a lesson before or want to level up faster, the third hour makes a difference — that's when your body starts getting the moves.
Tip from locals: book the lesson early in your trip. If you love it (and odds are you will), you'll have time for more hours before you leave.
What to bring
- Swimwear and a rash guard or sun-protective shirt
- Water-resistant sunscreen (water reflection burns more than you'd think)
- Water bottle
- A good sense of humor for your first wipeouts
