Kitesurf / LEI

Text Size  :  1 2 3

Kitesurf kites or LEI's (Leading Edge Inflatables) are designed to easily relaunch on the water or snow and are capable of generating huge amounts of power and lift.

With this in mind our kitesurf kite course is specifically designed to better familiarise you with these kites before ideally attending a kitesurfing course. Since kite flying is 80% technique, the better prepared you are, the more fun you will have.

Please note: During this primer course we deliberately use smaller kites on land than you would on water. This is to ease you into kitesurf / LEI kites and their various safety concepts. If you have any questions please contact us prior to booking.

-------------------------------

In this lesson we cover:

  :  Assessing flying site
  :  Setting up a LEI kite

As with all our lessons we use a tick-sheet scheme so we can identify any areas that you may wish to practice.
