Progression Lesson

At this Kitesurfing stage you may have attempted water start with vary degrees of success and are now ready to progress your kitesurfing skills with a perfect water start and achieve your goal to kite surf out and back to the same spot you started at, happy days.

This can be a frustrating point for many but with professional coaching from JB Kitesurfing we can show you the right way to water start consistantly and teach you better technique to Kite surf upwind.

Each progression session is tailored to you as is on a 1:1 basis and includes all of the kites, boards and safety equipment you will need for the duration of your lesson. By the end of this Kitesurfing lesson we aim to get you riding out and back to the beach consistantly and for the natural, upwind so back to the same point on the beach.

“Thanks for a great refresher/progression session last weekend! Such a superb service – flexible right up to the last moment which meant we could make the best of the weather and tide conditions. Both Julius and Jake were extremely patient, gave precise instruction, plenty of hints and tips and of course encouragement! We kept going till we achieved, even surpassed the goal of the day. I had totally failed to get up on the board with the previous school but by the end of Sunday was having pretty good success. Can’t wait to have another go! ”
