FUN AND SAFE!  A GREAT WAY TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE SPORT OF KITEBOARDING !

DURATION

3 Hours

An example of our lesson standards at RAD Kiteboarding are as follows. 

• Safety - Learning "The 4" and the safety features on a control bar.
• Wind Theory - Explaining the fundamentals on how and why we can harness the power of the wind.
• Gear Set Up - Learning what gear to use for the conditions, gear terminology, and how to properly rig a kite.
• Kite Control - Practicing flying drills with a kite, one-handed control, launching and landing, sinuses, etc.
• Situational Awareness - Being able to control the kite while interacting and observing the environment simultaneously.
• Self Rescue - A maneuver by which a rider with a downed kite manipulates the kite in the water to assist them in swimming back to shore. The rider generally wraps up their lines until they reach their kite, then positions their kite so that it is on its back as it would be carried on land but with the wing-tip closer to shore catching the wind. This wing tip acts as a sail and helps pull the rider to shore.
