Kiteboarding

Our IKO certified instructors teach people to kiteboard in a safe, enjoyable and professional way.

Lessons start with quick theory, then on to Kite Handling. Body dragging and Board Skills are taught on flat water, usually at La Mercy Lagoon or Sterkfontein Dam. This makes it safer than learning in the sea and makes lessons much more enjoyable.
