The Way to Fly Kiteboarding Course
This is a combination of our Power Kite Course and First Water Course. This is our most popular lesson and is the best way to get launched into this incredible sport!

The lesson is structured to teach you to becoming a self sufficient kiteboarder. You can take the course in one or two days, your choice!
$400.00 per person.

Power Kite Course
Our incredible Power Kite Control Course is a 3 hour intensive and fun introduction into Power Kiting! This course will cover learning to fly a incredible power kite! If you are thinking about Snow Kiting, Landboarding, or Kite Buggying, this course will teach you the fundamentals that you will need to know. This is also our introductory class for learning to kiteboarding. Learn how to harness the kite’s power while simulating board exercises, such as the waterstart, on land. Course covers rigging, tuning, line management, launching and landing, all safety systems, rider responsibility, harness use, simulated board starts, and varying the kite’s “power stroke” to alter the kites power.

First Water Course
Take your foundation skills of kite control and combine them with board balance on the water. We will start with exciting body surfing exercises. Learn to get comfortable with the larger more powerful kites for kiteboarding and learn to travel across the wind like a sailboat. Execute water relaunching of the kite and the proper techniques to perform your first exciting starts on the kiteboard. Self rescue and exits will be practiced. The goal is self-sufficiency for you in learning how to kiteboard.

You will advance as far as possible on our skills progression chart. Most people will leave having accomplished an understanding of how to create more and less power with the power strokes of the kite, set-up, launching, landing, water relaunching, self rescue, and the independent skills needed to ride on your own, & basic water starts on the board.



If you already have extremely good kite skills and have bought and flown a trainer kite package and an instructional video(to show you the exact exercises to practice) before taking the class you will advance four times faster.

You may also want to consider private lessons if you consider yourself a quick learner.

If you don't have experience in flying power kites, you should purchase our Fast Track Package!

You will then learn to fly on a control bar which emulates kiteboarding/kite surfing and you will develop multiple muscle memory skills that will allow you to get more out of the class. You will use your trainer kite later to let your friends fly when they want to fly your kite surfing kites.

Mistakes made on a trainer kite are usually without consequence and help develop good habits. Mistakes on a full sized power kite can result in injury to yourself and others and damage to your equipment.

Extended Water Course
The next step after The Way to Fly Kiteboarding Course is our Extended Water Course. Three hours of semi-private on the water instruction to Extend Your Ride. Now that you have the Basics let's fine tune your board, body, and kite placement to get you riding in both directions! You must have accomplished the Basic Water Start for this course, but not be riding upwind. 2 students per instructor in this course and it includes use of our massive array of school equipment, full boat support, and our expert instruction!
