So you wanna get into Kitesurfing? At Kitepower Sydney we prefer to teach one-on-one for all lessons, this way you get maximum attention, and ultimately, get up and kitesurfing faster. We also like to use powered watercraft so that we can assist you at anytime and help maximise your time out on the water. No more boring walks back up the beach!
The Kitepower Sydney kitesurfing school uses only IKO (International Kitesurfing Organisation) certified instructors with experience of all types of kites. IKO instructors offer quality instruction customised to any skill level. At the end of your lesson we will issue you with your IKO kiteboarders card, which allows you to rent/buy gear all over the world; and certifies you as a competent kiteboarder.
We supply all the equipment you need for your lesson; Kitepower Sydney uses the latest Cabrinha Switchblade and Ozone Catalyst kites with Underground and Cabrinha boards which give you the best quality ride possible while you learn.
While this lesson is available to purchase online, please don't buy it as gift - Buy a Trainer Kite, or an Instructional DVD as a gift, if you must get a voucher then be aware that without prior trainer kite experience the student will not get up on a board in their first lesson, and will need an additional 2 or 3 lessons to become self reliant.
