We run our Kitesurfing Lessons in Poole, Sandbanks daily and year round. Kitesurfing is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK and you can learn to kitesurf with the most experienced kitesurfing team in the country. Our kitesurfing Lessons cater for all levels from the complete beginner to advanced tricks and kitesurfing slider clinics. Also this website has a host of online kitesurfing lessons, put together by our own British Champion Mike Smith, that you can use as a resource as you advance in this sport.
Here at the Waterboard we are an IKO/ BKSA approved
kitesurfing school which means you
will be getting the latest and very best kitesurfing lessons.
The International Kiteboarding Organisation
(IKO) is the international governing body and the British
Kite Sports Association (BKSA) is the UK governing body.
In order to meet there requirements all our kitesurfing instructors
have to be properly trained in the appropriate water
skills as well as first aid and many other relevant
qualifications.
After each kitesurfing lesson you will be issued an IKO card which denotes
the kitesurfing level you have achieved. These cards are becoming
ever important as the kitesurfing sport grows,
many worldwide destinations require you to have
one of these cards before you are permitted to
kiteboard off of the beach!
We teach all our kitesurfing lessons in the shallow
and safe waters of Poole Harbour by Sandbanks beach. When you order
a kitesurfing lesson online, we will send you
a gift voucher, lesson pack, with information
for you to read up on before you come along to your kitesurfing lesson, a FREE kite surfing magazine and a
FREE Trainer Kite to start practising! Flying this trainer kite first will help you get the most out of your kitesurfing lessons in Poole .
The day 1 kitesurfing course is essentially
part 1 of a 2 day course so should you wish you
continue learning you can book on to the second
part and start right where you left off! Just down the beach from Borurnemouth town centre kitesurfing lessons can make a great weekend but we do run kitesurfing lessons in Poole every day of the week. |
