Learn the basics of kitesurfing for beginners and practice on the water! The true foundation of kitesurfing is the ability to control the kite.
With the kitesurf trial lesson, you’ll handle the kite and head out on a boat to practice flying it. Is there a better introduction to this sport?
Your instructor will introduce you to weather reading and basic safety procedures.
You will then head out by boat to learn the basics of kite control while seated on the edge of the boat. Once you’re able to control the kite, you’ll enter the water for your first introduction to body dragging.
NO LEASH POLICY
You will learn how to retrieve your board safely, without the use of dangerous tools such as board leash!
COMMUNICATION
You will always be in contact with your instructor through the use of two-way radio helmets.
No, the trial lesson allows you to experience the pull of the kite. If you don’t want to commit to the cost of the beginner course right away or you’re unsure, we recommend booking the 1-hour single lesson, which offers more comprehensive content. In that case, it will be considered the first lesson of the beginner course, and you can upgrade to the full course by deducting the cost of that hour from the course price.
No. We issue CSEN or IKO certification to students who successfully complete the beginner course, but a minimum riding level is required.
Yes, if you are able to ride upwind, return to shore on your own in case of emergency, relaunch the kite from the water, and recover the board without assistance.
No need to worry—we’re covered by insurance. Just don’t go breaking all the wings now that you know, okay!
If you’re a natural at water sports, even better for you! Our lessons follow a structured teaching program, while remaining flexible and customizable. If you learn very quickly, we’ll be able to cover more within each lesson.
In caso di maltempo, cerchiamo di avvisarvi appena siamo consapevoli delle condizioni meteo per non farvi fare un viaggio inutile. Se foste già a Campione, vi teniamo in attesa in prossimità della scuola sperando che il meteo cambi (a volte gioca strani scherzi!) – Nel caso in cui non ci sia proprio chance di fare lezione, riprogrammiamo la lezione nel primo slot disponibile (per voi, e per noi)
If there’s no wind, we’ll keep you waiting near the school and hope the conditions improve (it can be unpredictable!). If there’s absolutely no chance of wind, we’ll reschedule the lesson for the first available slot (for both you and us).
Yes. As with all amateur sports activities, a valid non-competitive medical certificate (not older than 6 months) is required to participate in the lessons.
You can download it here and have it filled out by your general practitioner.
Unfortunately, the lesson boat works like a bus. When it leaves, it leaves. The lesson start time is indicated for each course. We kindly ask you to be punctual and, if possible, arrive early (meeting time is 30 minutes before the boat departs).
Bring everything you’d need for a day at the lake! Sunglasses (preferably with a strap), a towel, flip-flops, swimwear, water, and sunscreen are essential. Porta anche tanta pazienza in caso il vento si facesse attendere!
We offer kitesurfing and wing foil lessons in Italian, English, and Portuguese.
Learning wing foiling is faster because it allows you to get on the water independently much sooner than kitesurfing. Once you’ve learned the basics, however, the progression curve in kitesurfing is much faster than in wing foiling.
For each session, the instructor can take up to a maximum of 3 students. However, lessons are conducted individually (one student in the water at a time). Your friends can cheer you on from the boat before their turn.
