3 -DAY BEGINNER PACKAGE:
At HKKA we offer a 3 day package for the
beginner. With this course we teach new riders all the necessary
skills, knowledge and experience to kiteboard in a responsible and
competent manner. Our aim is to ensure that you are independent as a
new kiter so that afterwards you can go away and practice safely. As
any experienced kiteboarder understands, accidents can and do occur,
but are generally the result of rider inexperience, negligence and lack
of kite knowledge. We feel that this course offers the required time
needed to achieve the goal of independence. We also understand that
each student varies in their learning style ability and experience.
Thus, our instructors are trained to adapt lesson plans to suit the
student/s levels.
With the 3 -days Beginner package we also offer IKO
student workbook which has been written by IKO. As well as containing
the latest safety information and techniques for C-Shape kites, this
essential guide has been fully updated to include important information
for the new generation of BOW kites - including sections on
self-launching and water-relaunching with Bow Kites. The book includes
vital information and interactive content that will easily guide
students through the core knowledge of the sport including: weather
fundamentals, safety techniques and riding practice techniques - right
up to first jumps. The book is suitable for complete beginners through
to advanced riders who are jumping and riding upwind. 64 Full Color

3-day Complete Beginner: Using the
latest IKO teaching methods, we place a major emphasis on learning to
safely rig / land / launch / fly a 4-Line inflatable kite. We want
flying an inflatable kite to become second nature to you. Learn to fly
these kites confidently and safely and the board riding will be easier
than you would ever expect. In all our lessons we have kept to theory
to a minimum and placed more emphasis on getting out on the beach / in
the water and DOING it. By the end of the 3 days you should have
completed IKO kiteboarder Level 1 and Level 2 and be a independant
kiteboarder.
