3 Day Kitesurfing Holiday in Brisbane, Australia

The first kitesurf lesson

For first lessons, you would normally spend about 30-45 minutes on land, going through all the safety, theory, setup, and basic land drills, then the rest of your lesson will be on water.

You will be flying a full size kite, learning all you need about kite control, body dragging, relaunching and all essential kite skills. When you can demonstrate competency in kite control, you will be taught to ride the board. Riding the board normally happens in the second lesson. Learning how to kitesurf is like learning how to drive a car. Some people can get up riding within 3 hours, some may need longer.

Surf Connect Watersports Centre conducts an evaluation at the end of each lesson and gives you a copy to take home. That way you know exactly what you have learnt and accomplished in that lesson, and what still needs to be learnt.

Kitesurfing is an extreme sport that carries a high degree of danger, so it's very important you have all the basic skills before going on your own.
