Learning to kitesurf looks so easy. It is, if you use the right methods. That’s why you are connected to your instructor via walky talky and helmet. While you gain your first experience on the water with your kite and board, your instructor will give you the right instructions from land. You’ll quickly get a feel for the equipment and you’ll see that learning to kitesurf is really easy. In no time you will be gliding over the water, connecting with the elements and experiencing that unique feeling of freedom 🙂
