In Guanacaste, Costa Rica

About the course

You will have your first contact with kiteboarding in the beautiful and untouched natural beauty of Playa Copal. Getting familiar with all of the gear and safety systems, understanding and becoming aware of wind speed/direction and weather changes.

After getting familiar with the spot and the average conditions we have, at the end of this course you will have acquired knowledge in:

safety systems and kite flight skills, body dragging (essential skill to recover your board), and will get a feeling for your first water-start and riding through warm Costa Rican water powered by a kite. Its an indescribable feeling.

Water Start

Incorporating all of the knowledge you have acquired beforehand, you will practice your first water starts. Surfing the Costa Rican waters amongst a variety of birds and turtles.

Body Drag

You will learn to use the kite to move across the water, and the valuable skill needed to rescue the board, since in kiteboarding, we never use board leashes.

Safety systems & Kite Flight

You will learn how to evaluate the spot, selecting and preparing the gear, and the use of the safety systems, to start with your first experience flying a kitesurfing kite.
