Highlights
Outing Highlights
Launch, land and control the kite
The lesson focuses on the fundamental handling skills — carrying, securing and setting the kite on the edge of the wind window, plus assisted launches and landings and hooked-in control from the harness.
Master the safety systems
You’ll learn the de-power system, how to use the quick release and activate the leash, and the procedures to recover the bar and kite before attempting self-landing.
Controlled, progressive flying
The session advances to deliberate flying skills with a de-power kite so you can demonstrate full control of de-power in flight and perform safety drills with confidence.
What the day feels like
What the two hours feel like
The lesson is compact and practical: ground-handling and rigging move quickly into assisted water work, then onto harnessed control and safety practice with the de-power kite. Each drill is repeated until you can demonstrate the quick-release, leash activation and a safe self-landing.
