Day 1
You will enter the world of kitesurfing one step at a time, having fun. You will be introduced to the theoretical basis of kitesurfing, and you will acquire some basic practical skills. Gradually, you will learn how to safely control the sail and you will get ready for the first sea trips, which will take place in the following days.
Day 2
Once gained proper control of the sail, the real fun begins: you get into the water. You will start to ride with the body dragging.
Day 3
Now you start to get serious. You will experience the first departures on the water with the board; then, you will get to actual independent navigation, learning the basic rules of navigation.

Access to the course for kids is reserved for ages six to 14. Mauritius Surf Holidays will follow the structure of a basic course, with some adjustments depending on the age. Kids will have a qualified instructor and dedicated materials at their disposal, to be allowed the necessary conditions to learn and have fun in complete and total safety.
