Learning curve

Our team's primary goal is to accelerate the student's learning curve through personal and individual lessons. To help achieve this goal, we offer private and semi-private lessons for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.

Our teaching model

Our way of teaching is based on the International Kitesurfing Organization (IKO) methodology. This step-by-step approach allows instructors to tailor each kitesurfing lesson. As a result, our students become independent Kitesurfers more quickly and safely, making lessons a great experience.
