Program
Beginner kitesurfing course
If you are looking for a place to learn how to kite, Kite Center Garda Lake is the place that fits you. The lessons offer everything a beginner needs; equipment, detailed explanation, and reliable help from the staff. The kitesurfing course is ideal for those who want to know more about this sport or simply want to get closer, without worries or excessive financial commitment.
This helps to understand if you are brought for kitesurfing and allows you to live the first experiences, learning the rules and procedures for safety, assembly, and complete management of the kite in the water.
Each student is equipped with its equipment from the first lesson, under the supervision and advice of the instructor after learning the control of the kite independently. They will accompany you in water and complete step by step the various exercises that will allow you to quickly learn to kitesurf.
The professional staff will provide you all you need; theoretic and practical explanations, support from the boat, modern equipment, and everything you might need. Have fun learning the basic kitesurfing skills. This lesson can be the perfect first approach to kitesurfing.
Intermediate kitesurfing lesson
The intermediate course is well recommended for those who just finished the beginner part, but also those who already have previous experience and skills. This part may include a refreshing lesson, a board skill lesson, a transition lesson, an upwind riding lesson, or a jumping lesson.
Kite Center Garda Lake will provide you with all the equipment including modern kites and bars, kiteboards, helmets, life jackets, booties, harness, and everything you might need. The course covers the following topics: self-rescue, upwind board recovery, kite mastery, safety techniques, power strokes, water starts, getting longer rides, upwind riding, transitions, toeside riding and transitions, and many more.
Advanced kitesurfing lesson
Kite Center Garda Lake's kite center is also specialized in advanced kiteboarding lessons, anything you want to learn; tricks, jumps, new kite skills, wave riding, hydro foiling, and much more. The team will provide you all the support you need, either with lessons out of the water and tips while you’re surfing.
The advanced kitesurfing course consists of one or more sessions of intermediate and / or advanced kitesurfing lessons. It is reserved for students who have already successfully learned the basic course and have consolidated, by means of an appropriate practice, the departure in gliding.
Taking kitesurf lessons
Kitesurfing is a technical sport with a steep learning curve. Like scuba diving or flying a paraglider, you don’t want to take unnecessary risks while learning. Many of the techniques are counterintuitive and are best learned in a lesson. Because of the huge forces involved, you do not want to make costly mistakes. Lessons shorten your learning time and keep you much safer in the process.
Is kitesurfing difficult to learn?
Learning to kitesurf is easier than ever before. Kite Center Garda Lake has been teaching kiteboarding now for over 12 years and it just keeps getting better and better. Their new equipment and new training techniques have made the learning process fun and rewarding. It only requires a modest investment of time and money to get into the sport. This combined with a little patience and motivation is all it takes to be a kiteboarder.
Compared to other water / windsports, kitesurfing is relatively easy to learn. The learning curve compared to windsurfing is faster and the kitesurfer will be more advanced after their first year. Kitesurfing is harder to learn than wakeboarding because it is more technical. Remember that kitesurfing is like learning two sports, board riding and kite flying. Kitesurfing is getting easier to learn each year and is now available to a wider demographic of participants.
The age
Kiteboarding lessons can be adapted to just about anyone. The oldest student Kite Center Garda Lake has taught is 73. They will take into consideration the age and fitness level of a student and recommend a specific lesson program for the individual. Older students will need to take some more time and some extra lessons to learn. It is quite uncommon for anyone over 65 to take lessons. But most students are in the 35 to 55 years old category. Kite Center Garda Lake will train the body as well as the mind.
Usually, the more active seniors that are already doing other sports are the ones that will be able to do kiteboarding. It really depends on the person's fitness and health to be appropriate for the activity. Many seniors today do regular exercise and even yoga. Age is just a number, but all students should be realistic about their expectations and fully disclose any medical conditions or problems that could affect their ability to safely participate in kiteboarding activities. The minimum age Kite Center Garda Lake was allowed to teach was 12 years old.
Shuttle lift
If the beach is too crowded, the wind is too light or too gusty, you don’t feel comfortable with starting from the beach, or you just simply want to surf in the area with the best wind conditions, Kite Center Garda Lake provides a lift service that takes you there in a really short time. The boats will be always available to assist you and to re-launch you and your kite if the wind’s condition changes.
Location
The first main kite spot, 40 minutes' north of Pinto Martins-Fortaleza International Airport (FOR) in Brazil, is the fishing village of Cumbuco with its golden beaches and conditions for every type of riding style and level. With 2,800 hours of sunshine per year, you’ll also be mixing it with more pro riders than anywhere else as it’s such a consistent training location and a lot of fun off the water too.
