Kiteboarding Lessons

West Oz Boardsports is your first choice for quality kiteboarding instruction. Instructors are qualified through IKO and have extensive windsurfing, wakeboarding and kitesurfing experience. All of our lessons are personal with a maximum of 2 students per instructor (excluding Have a Taste which is a group session).  Being a small business, Jason ensures that all of our instructors follow our guidelines when teaching.  We have been doing this for 12 years now and have a reputation for the highest quality lessons....plus we now offer you a rebate if you purchase gear from us after your lessons (see more info here).

Kitesurfing lessons are held at Shoalwater approx 35 minutes south of Perth WA (for directions see location). Our peak season for lessons is between October and March, but we are operational all year round.

Kiteboarding's unique combination of power, speed and freedom has seen it become the fastest growing watersport in the world. The same qualities that make it so appealing also make for an intimidating struggle for those choosing to teach themselves the art. West Oz prides itself in creating a safe and rewarding learning experience. Our goal is to see students become competent kiteboarders and quickly and as safely as possible. We have a range of lessons available, ranging from a kiteboarding taster to advanced lessons.

What separates us from other schools?

Experience - Only fully qualified IKO Kitesurfing Instructors, with a minimum of 3-4 years experience. There are currently some so called instructors who have only been kiting for a few months themselves, our instructors are well experienced, so you can learn with confidence. Our head instructor has 12 years experience with kiteboarding as well as 20 years windsurfing and 15 years wakeboarding. Both sports which have a big bearing on teaching methods.
  • Safety - West Oz Boardsports instructors are first aid trained, plus we use headzone communication equipment (including helmets and audio system to stay in constant contact with you). Our choice of location for teaching is one of the safest and most beautiful beaches in Australia.
  • Equipment - West Oz uses only the latest model 4 line inflatable kites and twin tip kiteboards.
  • Course Content - Our lessons provide you with all the necessary skills to get you out on the water. You will come away with the knowledge and skills to select safe riding locations, read wind conditions and safely self land kites.
