Have you ever thought about jumping in the air and feeling the freedom that just flying can give you? Kite surfing can offer you this as much as a great workout that benefits body and mind. And what about meeting new people? Kite surfers are sociable souls and they love to hang out with other fellow kite surfers! It's a mindset, it's a lifestyle. Coconuts Kite will show you the basics in the course - you will get the feeling of the push from the kite and you will learn to manage that power by yourself. You will start on the beach and slowly get to pilot the kite in the water.

Program
Adventure in paradise
Coconuts Kite will pick you up from the airport or the ferry when you arrive in Zanzibar, or from the location where you started your holiday. Then you will be taken to your accommodation and will be briefed on the course and the other activities of the package. The day after you will start your activities always based on the weather conditions. The kitesurf lesson will take place on one day, and the SUP adventure on the other day.
Coconuts Kite will take care of the transportation from your hotel to the location where the instruction will take place. Coconuts Kite welcomes groups and families. It's a lot of fun to learn kitesurfing with your dear ones! The instructors have a lot of experience and will be able to make you fall in love with this beautiful sport and this beautiful island!
Step-by-step guide to kitesurfing
Step 1: The trainer kite
The trainer kite is a small but powerful kite that will start giving you a hint of the pull you can get from a bigger kite. During the first 1.5 - 2 hours, you will learn to pilot it on the beach, including launching and landing and the clock system. All the piloting will later be repeated with the bigger kite but in the water!
Step 2: Kite control
The next step in learning how to kitesurf is based on piloting the sail in the water. You will have full gear - the kite which you would use to ride, bar and harness. Just the board is still missing because first, you need to gain full confidence in controlling the kite, including holding it with one hand only to be able to grab the board and wear it with the other hand!
Step 3: Body-dragging
Once you have gained the desired confidence in piloting the kite, you will do one of the most fun activities of the entire course: body dragging! Body dragging, as the word itself says, is a technique of piloting the kite which allows you to be physically dragged by it. Body dragging will be practiced both downwind and upwind and it is a safety maneuver that you will use to go back to shore if you lose the board as well as to go look for the board itself. If you are familiar with sailing, you will pretty much apply the same techniques you use in the man overboard exercise, reaching out to the point (the man overboard for a boat or the board when kitesurfing) in sequential steps.
Included excursions
Mangroves by SUP
One of the afternoons you will be taken on a trip to explore the mangroves and the beautiful environment surrounding them. No experience is needed, as the SUP can mount also a special seat.
