This is a three hour introduction into powerkiting.
Powerkiting is an exhilarating, exciting up and coming sport. Powerkiting is the back bone of any kite related sport; the skills you need for powerkiting are the exact skills you need to progress onto kite landboarding, bugging or even kitesurfing.
We start at the very basics of introducing a variety of powerkites and run you through the kite set up. There is an element of theory involved in the course, including how the kite fly’s and outlining the windwindow which includes describing the different zones etc
You will learn about site assessment and the safety of powerkites, these areas are key parts of powerkiting as many accidents occur, through lack of knowledge.
