Description:
For those who know they want to get into the sport and need to learn all the skills to become fully independent.
Lesson 1: Introduction to Kite Control
At KSM, our students begin lessons on land with a 4-line Bow kite at one of Maui's beautiful parks - the same type of kite you'll use later in the water. You'll learn to correctly setup the kiteboarding kite and will practice flying in and out of the powerzone, launching and landing, and more. Further kite control mastery will be applied in Lesson 2. Time 1-2 hours.
Lesson 2: Kite Control Body Drag
With the skills learned in the intro, you're ready to maneuver through the powerzone while dragging in the water. You'll practice body dragging upwind, launching the kite from the water, and self-rescue/self-landing skills. This is the phase where students develop and refine the necessary skills to become independent with the kite. Time 1-2 hours.
Lesson 3: Kiteboarding Water Start
After completing Lessons 1 & 2 or demonstrating your current skill level, you'll launch your kite and hit the water with board in tow. Your beach practice water starts will help you visualize what to do in the water and then actually start and ride. Expert feedback from KSM instructors allows students to maximize their time on the water in this intensive course. Time 1 - 6 hours.
