Once mastering the necessary skills, you will then fly progressively larger kites to learn to control kites capable of lifting your weight. Instruction is personally customized to enable a student to quickly and safely advance through our lesson program. We use a safe transition of kites that begins with small quad line kites and bars and progresses to full power with a harness and safety release system before entering the water. At this point you should schedule water lessons . This phase of the lesson program will take place in the water.
Safety is the most important aspect of our training program.
You are in control of a large wing that has tremendous power. The first lesson covers all safety issues, and there is an oral exam and a practical flying skills test that must be passed in order to progress to the water portion of the lesson program. Most people will be ready for the tests at the beginning of the second lesson. Additional lessons may be required until the skill level for the water phase of the lesson program is achieved.
