FREE KITE & WING LESSONS
KR are offering a FREE Kiteboarding or Wingfoiling 60 minute beginner session for any new comers wanting to get started now!
Session consists of 45 minutes small group lesson (max 3 per instructor) and 15 minute info session to kickstart your year!
During this session you can expect to learn exactly what you would in a regular paid lesson. Kiters will fly trainers kites on the beach, learn great skills and habits, leave understanding basic safety, and you will learn to setup and how a regular 4 line kite works. You will not get wet in this session, however it will leave you able to skip this first 45-60 minutes and the costs associated if you decide to continue.
Wingers will experience the same start to a normal lesson, there is a chance they will get wet on larger SUP style boards later in this session. Bring bathers or wetsuit if you have your own. If not we'll provide one.
There are limited spots for these sessions on Saturday, January 18th and you must book to claim your spot. Sessions will be at 10am, 11am, and 12pm, with safety & progression clinics after these times for those already riding or interested in safety.
