The three day Kitesurfing course is the complete BKSA course. The third day we call a boardwork day and can be completed seperately if you have already completed a two day kitesurfing course at another kitesurfing school.  We meet at Breezes cafe in Hill Head where we will take you to our kitesurf centre opposite for a brief of the day and to get changed. The course will be mainly all water based at the shallow waterpools outside the osbourne view pub at Hill Head. We will take you through the basics of getting up on your board and increasing power through the kite smoothly to help you carry on riding. We will aim to get your boardstarts improved and to help you do your first proper runs. Of course your previous board sports experience and fitness now play a big part in how quickly you progress. Being comfortable on the kite plays a huge part as does picking the correct equipment. We will be using the latest and best kitesurfing equipment to help you learn as quickly as possible. For more info on the day three kitesurfing course please contact us. Our kitesurfing 3 Day Course consists of what is listed in the table to the left. Please be aware that these are what we aim to achieve, sometimes, due to different peoples progression rates we will achieve more, and sometimes less. It is important to learn things in the correct and safest way possible and in some cases that may mean spending extra time on certain things.
