The two day kitesurfing course is aimed at the complete beginner. The second day course can be split off from the first if you have already completed the course at another UK kitesurfing school. Pleasae read the day one course page for more details. The day two course is essentially a small recap on the first day course followed by an intro to the board and your first small runs. We start with a few body drags from day one to get you comfortable with kite handling in the given conditions. We then help you get the board to your feet for your first board starts. We hope to get you up doing very short runs nearer the end of your day two course. The majority of this course is based in the water so we provide 5mm winter wetsuits and wetsuit boots to help keep you warm. Buying a neoprene underlayer is a massive help to keep you warm and toasty if you have chosen to take your kitesurfing course in the colder months. If you want to find out more about the day two kiteboarding course then please contact us. Our Two Day course consists of the following content;

What Our Clients Are Saying

James says "I ordered a kitesurf lesson gift voucher online and it arrived by e-mail the same day. My son recently took his lesson with Hampshire Kitesurfng Centre between Southampton and Portsmouth, we came down from London for the day. The guys were great, they had all of the kitesurf equipment and wetsuits etc. my son had a great day learning to kiteboard and he is really keen to do more kitesurfing lessons with the school in Southampton. We will be back.  A big thanks go to George our Kitesurf School Instructor."
