Popular questions about Lessons

How fast will I learn Kitesurfing?
The expected number of training days to learn to Kiteboard depends on your background in other adventure sports. Rider progression depends on the individual. We have found wakeboarders, surfers, windsurfers and snowboarders and also inline skaters to be very fast and progressive learners.

As a general guideline allow for 3-5 days of training to get you to an independant stage of riding.

Good Wakeboarders & Snowboarders on the Anabatic training program generally learn the basics and get up riding the board in 1 or 2 sessions and quickly advance to intermediate level riding within another day or two.

Surfers and Windsurfers attending the Anabatic training program also follow a similar path to success.
Web surfers Ok you guys are the hardest to teach, it's a knowledge of the outdoor environment and a willingness to push yourself out onto the ocean for a thrill that drives Kiters. If you have the get up and go attitude you will be fine.
Guys and Girls Ok there is not difference between the guys and girls ability to kitesurf. Our very own Cindy Mosey is a 3 time World Champion and plenty of the guys on the water only dream of being able to ride like her. So if your a guy or a girl with go for it attitude, you will get a kick out of Kiteboarding.

Is there anything I can do to get into Kiteboarding faster than just starting with lessons and before I buy a full rig?
Answer: Yes, sure!
Mastering the controls and power of the ANABATIC 3sqm Power Kite puts you leagues ahead of the game and ready for the water in a heartbeat. Half the sport is Power Kiting and Half the sport is Wakeboarding. So you can give yourself a massive head start into the sport with the purchase of our 3sqm land based practise kite. Fly it every day before training and after each course to gain better and better kite skills.

My First Kite... Details
It is the ideal way to give yourself (and your mates) a kick start into Kiteboarding is by learning to master our powerful and fun ANABATIC 3m Kite. The skills you will learn by flying this 3sqm powerful beach kite lead perfectly into the next stage with the full kite +board rig and on the water training.
So grab a ANABATIC 3m Kite and build up the important and instinctive reactions to kite control, respect of the power deliver, and understanding of the wind window and how differing wind strengths have great effect. Oh yes, some idea of the thrills involved as the 3m is a seriously fun kite to fly.

The more you fly the kite the more instinctive your reactions will become. It's like building up muscle memory of the actions and reactions required. This prepares you perfectly for flying your 11m or 13m Waroo kites and makes learning a breeze.
You feel more in control during lessons and progress much faster than other students because you will be perfectly familiar with the wind window shown in the diagram below and have all the practical and mental kite skills well developed ready for when we hit the water with you full size rig.
Teaching students who own the Anabatic 3sqm Power Kite is much easier. They are more relaxed and are ready for the board much quicker than other students.
