Kitesurfing Lessons - Geelong

IKO Kitesurfing Level One - $170.00 (private lesson, 2 hours) Bring a friend for an extra $150, and we extend the lesson to 3 hours... but note that you will learn more by having a private / one-on-one lesson.

Requirements: Previous lessons, or at least some kite-flying experience essential.  Or, contact us to hire a Trainer kite.

Includes: Site and conditions accessment - Learn how to launch, land and recover a kite independantly, and with an assistant. - Water Relaunching & Simulations - 'Body Drag' with and without a harness - In-water Self Rescue and self pack-up Once you complete the above requirements, then you'll get a chance to try a board! But note that Lev 1 does not require you to get on a kiteboard!

Locations: There is more than one teaching location in Geelong, so which one is used depends primarily on the wind on the day, along with your experience, tides and other factors. Your instructor will work out which location is best before the start of your lesson. - Point Henry, Geelong - Point Richards, St Leonards - Ocean Grove / Torquay

What you need to bring: Strong, sturdy clothes - Wetsuit & booties (or hire on the day for $10) - Towel & change of clothes - Drinks, sunscreen, lunch, etc. We supply all kiting gear, helmet and PFD's

Note: To become proficient at an IKO 'Kiteboarder Level One' standard - you might require more than one lesson. It takes time to master all the aspects of the course. At the end of level 1, you should be proficient to go out and fly a kiteboarding kite with an assistant - but it doesn't make you a kiteboarder. There is more to learn, but not much more we can teach you - the rest is practice, and time on the kite. If you need further lessons, then we are still available to help $90/hour (your gear or ours).
