What will I learn in the beginner kitesurfing course?

In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of kitesurfing, including understanding the wind, setting up the equipment, safety procedures, kite control, body dragging in water, and if progress allows, getting up on the board for your first ride.

Do I need to know how to swim?

Yes, being able to swim is a prerequisite for the course. Basic swimming skills will be essential for your safety and confidence in the water.
