"The main reason I enrolled my 15 year old son in Kiteboarding School of Maui was because I knew that Martin's first concern would be his safety. Secondly, I knew that he would be sensitive to the local environment. Finally, I wanted to support someone who was so uncommonly committed to helping make Maui a better place for all of us."

Will I get on the water on the first day of lessons?

All students without any kite flying experience spend about one hour on land learning correct kite setup, becoming familiar with safety systems, and flying a small 4-line bow kite. Once the student acquires basic flying skills and muscle memory during the land class, the student and instructor move to the water with the kite. Some of the skills the student will work on in the water are body dragging upwind to simulate recovering the kiteboard, relaunching the kite from the water, and self-rescuing or self-landing in the event the kite won't relaunch from the water. Should all of these skills  develop in a timely manner, then the student would also have time to practice water starts with the board on the first day.
