Lets get the kids kitesurfing too!
Here at Tico Kite, we can also teach kids. We have a team of instructors with lots of experience teaching the young ones.
The minimum age we recommend is 7 years old. But this is not a rule, some younger riders are already having a blast out there. For these lessons we will use smaller kites and shorter lines.
Its usually recommended that lessons with kids are private or a maximum group of 2.
In this way, they will receive the best possible attention and personalized trait. Really important for maintaining security standards.
Every day there are more kids practicing this sport, as it has gotten safer throughout the years. Lots of parents come to learn with their kids, we encourage you to try it with the family. Kitesurfing is a sport where we are always better off with a riding buddy!
We guarantee safety, fun and learning through methodology.
Courses for kids
Wind Theory & Gear
Body Drag
Water Start
Most kids come with beginner or intermediate levels in kitesurfing, this is why why structure teaching in these steps. Adjusting to the evolution of each student: wind theory and gear, kite flight on land and water and once they are ready we will give them the board and off riding they go!
Wind theory: getting familiar with the gear on land.
They 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.
Incorporating all of the knowledge they have acquired beforehand, they will practice their first water starts. Surfing the Costa Rican waters amongst a variety of birds and turtles.
