Curious about kiteboarding but not quite ready to dive in—literally? Our 2-hour Discovery Lesson is the perfect introduction to the sport, and the best part? No swimming skills are required! This lesson takes place entirely on the beach, making it an ideal way to explore kiteboarding in a safe and controlled environment before committing to full lessons in the water.
Learn about wind directions, safety zones, and the key principles of kite control.
Get hands-on experience setting up a training kite, learning how it works, and understanding the different components.
Master the feel of the kite as you practice launching, steering, and landing under expert guidance.
We start with an inflatable trainer kite that has the same setup, control, and safety system as the kites used in your future lessons. This ensures a seamless progression as you advance. You’ll be training with Ozone and Nobile kiteboarding equipment for the best performance and safety, while BBTalking radio headsets keep you connected with your instructor for real-time feedback and faster learning.
If you love it (which we know you will!), we’ll help you understand the path to progressing into the water and eventually riding on the board.

Once you successfully practice and demonstrate proficiency in the key skills covered in your Discovery Lesson, you will receive an IKO certification as a Level 1 kiteboarder. Your certification will indicate L1A through L1E, corresponding to the specific skills you have mastered. Once you reach level 1E you will be ready for the Intermediate Rider Course.Â
The IKO certification allows you to continue your kiteboarding journey with structured progressions, whether with us or at any IKO-affiliated school worldwide.
If you feel like you need more time to refine your kite control skills, no worries! You can schedule an additional lesson to build confidence before moving on to the next level. Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and well-prepared as you advance in your kiteboarding experience.
Everyone learns at their own pace. Some students move to Level 2 right away, while others may need a bit more practice. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and safe.
If you decide to continue your training at another IKO-certified school, your certification will show your completed skills, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Whether you take the next step immediately or later, kiteboarding is all about having fun and learning at your own speed.
