Now available: We have re-designed and fundamentally improved our kitesurfing beginner courses: Below is the outdated information, describing our old beginner courses.

IMPORTANT: For kitesurfing beginners we recommend our 15-days intensive A+B+C+D kitesurfing beginners crash course .. not only to get you just on the board, but to make you a fully independent kitesurfer, so that you can kitesurf properly anywhere. It combines the standard 3-days kitesurfing course A (similar like the German VDWS, British BKSA advise it, just more comprehensive, because we need to prepare you for the next course modules) with our advanced kitesurfing course module B+C+D (2+5+5 days). On this page you find the description of the standard 3 days kitesurfing course A. On the next page you see the description of kitesurfing course B+C+D.

Please note: Transport to Langebaan lagoon, Melkbos or Strand, where we might go during the first days of your course A, is not included in the course fees. Best is to use your own (or rented) car or we may offer transportation for a low price.

We teach in private lessons (1:1) or small 2 people group lessons (1:2). This is important for proper learning and your safety (teaching in big groups of 3-6 people, like other schools do it, is dangerous and it does not lead to any good learning results).

 

After kitesurfing beginner course A: The course A ends with your first water start and riding a few meters. To really get you on the board up and riding properly, riding comfortably into both directions, also in moderate waves, and do basic transitions (change of direction) and to be able to stay upwind, you will need our 11 days kitesurfing beginners course B - directly after your beginners course A.

Please select a date for your kitesurfing course A or kitesurfing beginners crash course A+B from our kitesurfing course table. This will make you a fully independent kitesurfer within 14 days during your holidays in fantastic Cape Town!
