Advanced Kiteboarding Lessons – Yay!
So now you’re riding upwind, and you’re ready to take it to the next level? It’s perfectly fine to embark on this mission on your own, but learning advanced kiteboarding skills with professional instruction will get you further faster. From transitions to unhooking for the first time, at Cabarete Kite Point Kiteboarding School we have specialty instructors for kitesurfers looking to advance and enhance their skills.
Am I ready for advanced kiteboarding lessons?
Your riding level will be assessed before we start according to worldwide kiting standards for what is considered an independent rider. If you are riding independently then you are ready to move on to advanced kiteboarding lessons.
So you should be proficient in the following skills: Controlled Stop, Control of Riding Speed by Edging, Riding Upwind, Sliding Transitions, Toe-Side Riding, Toe-Side Turn, Self-Launching, Self-Rescue and Pack Down in Deep Water.
What can I learn during advanced kite lessons?
This is the part where you get to enjoy a little freedom of expression. The first thing people want to learn after becoming an independent kiteboarder is how to jump. If you are beyond that, then just let us know up front what you are working on, and we will pair you with the instructor best suited for the occasion.
Here are some ideas of what you can book: first jumps, jump transitions, boosting, board-offs, board grabs, backrolls, front rolls, riding blind, downloops, kiteloops, riding unhooked, railey.
- All of our lessons come fully equipped with everything you need—kite, board, harness, and all the essential safety gear. If you’ve got your own gear, awesome! You’ll score a 20% discount when you bring it along.
- No need to stress about choosing a package upfront. We like to keep things simple—pay at the end of your lessons, so you only pay for the hours you use.
