The plan, day by day
- Day1
The intermediate kite course starts with an hour recap on the beach. Depending on your level, this could be: Flying one of our special training kites on the beach Running over body drag technique and body position Simulating water starts for the more advanced Once this has been completed we head off into the water which is split into two parts. This could be or getting straight onto a board, depending on your experience. Your instructor will first demonstrate the exercises with you holding onto their , then you will practice with the instructor holding onto you until you are capable and safe to be left alone to practice and get comfortable with a kite. Your second time in the water will be straight with the board. If this is your first time trying the board it will work as before, first the instructor and you, then you and the instructor then you alone. It’s quite flexible depending on your skill level and what you feel comfortable with.
- Day2
You’ll get straight into the water on day 2 of your intermediate kitesurfing course. The day will be split into two sessions, both of them in the water with the board. Each day practicing with our instructors will make you more comfortable with the kite and the board. At the end of day 2 we’d expect you to be able to ride back and forth in both directions, but it really depends on you existing skill level, so you might be able to do much more already.
- Day3
Day 3 will be split into two sessions, both of them in the water with the board. Each day practicing with our instructors will make you more comfortable with the kite and the board. At the end of day 3 we’d expect you to be able to ride across the wind and maybe starting to look at riding , again depending on pre existing skill level.
- Day4
Lessons on day 4 are again split into two times in the water with kite and board. At the end of day 4 we’d expect you to be a level 2 on the IKO kitesurf card.
- Day5
Day 5 is again split into two lessons, both in the water with board and kite. At the end of day 5 you are likely to have covered a few parts of level 3 on the IKO kitesurf card.
What’s included
- Boat support on the water
Questions
Before you book
I’ve never done this. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The beginner courses start from zero, on the beach, with a theory lesson before you go near the water. You do need to be able to swim.
What’s included in a course?
Your instructor and the equipment. For private surf and kitesurf lessons you rent the equipment separately. Each course page lists exactly what is included and what the day-by-day plan looks like.
Can I get a licence?
Yes. Flag Beach is VDWS certified. The international VDWS licence is included in our wing foil courses and in our kitesurf and wing foil camps. On kitesurf courses you can add it for €20. With the licence you can rent equipment at other centres afterwards.
