Our courses are based on total hours, not numbered lessons.
Your course hours are delivered over a combination of 1.5 and 2-hour sessions, depending on:
- Wind conditions
- Safety
- Your progression
This flexible approach helps maximise learning and reduce fatigue.
Kitesurfing depends heavily on conditions.
Shorter sessions are ideal for:
- Learning new skills
- Staying focused
- Avoiding overload
Longer sessions are better once skills improve. We adjust session lengths to get the best outcome, not to fit a rigid schedule.
Everyone learns at a different pace.
As a general guide:
- Some students are comfortable riding after 5–7.5 hours
- Others prefer additional coaching for confidence and consistency
Starting with an Intro Lesson allows us to recommend the best next step for you.
Safety comes first.
If conditions aren’t suitable:
- We’ll reschedule your lesson
- Or adjust the session to focus on skills that can be taught safely
You’ll never be forced into unsafe or unproductive conditions.
