-
CAN I LEARN TO KITEBOARD IN ONE LESSON?
-
It is possible, but not likely.
-
Kiteboarding is like a cross between paragliding and wake or snowboarding. One thing that is important to understand is that you will not learn to kiteboard in one day.
-
Not to say that you can’t take a 1 day lesson if you just want to see what it is all about and you will have plenty of fun doing it. But..
-
First, there is a good amount to learn about safety. We feel that is very important to teach you right from the beginning how to take care of yourself.
-
Next, learning kite control differs greatly from one person to another. Just because you excel in other sports doesn’t mean you will be the first to get kite control. I have seen 45 year old moms get it before 30 year old men. OK, usually it’s the other way around, but you will just have to take the challenge and see.
-
It’s not hard, just different.
