Kitesurfing and Kiteboarding are not called Extreme Sports for no reason. Without proper instruction kiteboarding can result in severe injury. The latest technology is great but it only works if you know how to use it correctly. With this in mind, we offer beginner packages which include your first lesson, so ask us about kite, board, harness and lesson packages.
Land Kiteboarding is a growing sport and like kitesurfing it requires excellent kite flying skills. Once you have mastered your kite, you can use it in the ocean, lakes or on the beach and land with mountain boards specifically designed for land kiting. Ask our friendly staff about our Munro and Jungle Brothers land boards.
AKSA (Australian Kitesurfing Association) Safe Kiting Guidelines
Kitesurfing is relatively easy to practise safely with a little forethought and common sense. Ultimately we are responsible for minimising the risk to ourselves and others which will help protect the future of this great sport - be very CLEAR about your responsiblities.
CLEAR
Conditions
- wind strength
- wind direction
- always keep downwind area well clear
- waves, tides and currents
- consider possible weather changes
Look
- before you launch, land, jump, jibe, etc.
Equipment
- always complete a pre-flight check
- use a kite leash
- use a quick release on anything you hook into
- practise using your safety systems regularly so that it becomes instinctive
- never exceed manufacturers specifications
Attitude
- always seek and listen to local advice
- do not exceed your limitations (we all have them)
- use judgement to prevent situations, do not rely on skill to try and get out of it
Respect
