Dedicated Kiteboard Board Skills Training
Developing your board skills greatly accelerates the learning process. These skill focus on board control and prepares the rider for the kite-handling responsibilities. Once again leveraging the unique KitePole we simulate the upward pull of the kite and gives the rider a feel of a live and active kite. Removing the actual kite from the equation optmizes the ability to focus on the board and prepares you to ride in both a regular and goofy stance, both of which are necessary in kitesurfing. The instruction will help you learn how to distribute your weight correctly and consequently be in control of the board's edge. The KitePole also teaches body-dragging and helps people acclimate themselves to being "hooked-in" with their harness. All the gear you need is included in the lesson rates.
