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 Pages Format : 15 x 21cm
