Zero to Hero Kiteboarding Course - 12 hours (4-6 days) - $900pp
This is an all inclusive course. We teach you from the basics and take it right up to getting you kiteboarding upwind comfortably! You may choose to do this course over 4 days (3 hours per day) or spread it out to 2 hour sessions for 6 days.....it can be consecutive days, or break it up as you like!
Day 1 - learn the basics of setup, safety, launching/landing, water recovery and flying a trainer kite before we set you up with a 4 line inflatable kite and get you in the water bodydragging with the kite. Max 2 students on your first day as there is a lot of theory involved, before we move onto private tuition once you are in the water.
Day 2 - refresh over the basics you learnt in your first session and once comfortable bodydragging upwind you will be introduced to the board.
Days 3-6 - we get you setup and straight in the water with your board, concentrating on getting you up and riding as quickly as possibly using our helmet communication so the instructor is in constant contact with you whilst in the water. Once up and riding we focus on getting you riding upwind so you can get setup at the beach, head out and ride and come back to your start spot.....this is an exhilarating feeling.
On the last day of the lesson it really depends on the individual's progression to what level you will be, most people are comfortable riding, some staying upwind, some even doing transition turns. We progress you through as quickly as possible whilst making you comfortable with all of the information and equipment.
West Oz Boardsports is the only IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) school in Perth and we have been running lessons at Safety Bay / Shoalwater for 12 years now! All of our instructors undergo the same training and experience so you are not just being taught by a kiteboarder, but by a fully qualified instructor. West Oz owner, Jason, oversees all lessons and is available after your session if you have any queries or would like to discuss gear options.....remember if you have this lesson with us and then purchase a full kiteboarding package, you receive $500 as a rebate on your gear!!
Our location of Shoalwater Bay, only 35 minutes south of Perth is the best location in WA for lessons, with its cross shore breeze and sheltered waters from the surrounding islands you will not be blown out to sea or onto shore and there are no boats/swimmers/obstacles so you can just focus on your kite and board.
