I on the other hand learnt at a spot which wasn’t 100% ideal for learning (deep water, choppy water, very crowded): in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. Optional: Warm water: I personally could only learn kitesurfing at a warm spot since I get cold super fast.And there should be a rescue service, just in case. The wind shouldn’t be offshore, you should be able to do the self rescue and arrive back at the beach without a rescue boat. No offshore wind and a rescue service: Once you finished your lessons you will be in the water on your own.
Space on the water and on the beach: There is nothing worse than a tiny crowded beach or an insanely crowded spot with a lot of kite surf beginners who tangle their lines.No obstacles in the water, no currents: In an ideal world you just have a sandy beach with no reefs or rocks in the water and no trees which are very close by beach.You can ask the kite school for an honest opinion how many days a month they have wind and calculate for yourself how big your chances are to get wind every day. Choose a spot with a high wind probability and stable wind. Or wind that drops from one minute to another or only comes every other day. Consistent, stable wind: There is nothing trickier than very gusty wind.Standing area: If you can stand in the water it will make life a whole lot easier in the beginning.Flat water: Learning kitesurfing, especially the part when you’re body dragging and trying the water start, is way easier in flat water in the beginning.I will describe the ideal spot to learn kitesurfing – so if you have the choice you could look out for this criteria. So do yourself a favor and go for the lessons right away.Ĥ) How do I choose the right spot to learn kitesurfing as a beginner? Where should I learn kiteboarding? And it can be the safest and most fun sport in the world if you get a proper introduction and lessons.

3) Can I learn kitesurfing on my own? Do I really need to book those expensive lessons? But let me tell you this: you don’t need to be super sporty and you’re never too old to learn kiteboarding! I put together a whole article with the 10 most common and wrong kitesurf myths which will explain you exactly why. I think two of the most typical beliefs are the two questions above. I’ve tried windsurfing and surfing in a couple of holidays, over the years again and again, took lessons and practiced from time to time. It was exciting and fun in a way but it never hooked me as much as kitesurfing did. But if you’re in doubt – just try them out all! You can never learn too many boardsports, it will always enrich you’re life 😉Ģ) Can I only learn kitesurfing if I’m super sporty? Am I too old to learn kiteboarding? The learning curve is rapid in kitesurfing, which gives you quick success and gets you so incredible hooked in that sport. Do I need kitesurf lessons? What do I need to know before learning kiteboarding? How do I choose the right kitesurf school? How do I find a good kitespot? What do I need to bring? This will be your guide to learn kitesurfing fast, safely, easily AND have a lot of fun!ġ) How easy is it to learn kitesurfing? Is it easier to learn kitesurfing or windsurfing? Or surfing?Įasy depends a lot on your personal fitness, if you have practiced boardsports before and how fearful you are. The common opinion, which I can confirm in my experience, is that kitesurfing is actually the easiest of all those sports (windsurfing and surfing) to learn. If you’re new to kiteboarding you probably have a billion questions circling around in your head. Kitesurf Beginner Kitesurf Tips 43 Comments 0
