Kitesurfing.no runs private group introductions and beginner courses out of Bore Surf Center, taking advantage of the broad, wind‑shaped beaches along Jæren from Sola to Brusand. Designed for groups — families, friends, corporate teams and school trips — the program can be condensed into an action‑heavy single day or extended over two days to train riders toward independence.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A typical group course moves from a short shore briefing into rigging and safety drills, then straight to supervised water practice. The one‑day intro prioritizes hands‑on time and rapid progression; the two‑day course repeats and expands the same syllabus so participants leave with the knowledge to continue learning independently.
