INTERMEDIATE LESSON
The following are the necessary skills in order to participate in an intermediate lesson:
- Body dragging upwind
- Dragging with the board
- Launching and landing the kite
Here are few problems many of the intermediate students experience:
1. Kiteboarding Upwind- Kiteboarding upwind is probably one of the hardest obstacles for beginning kiteboarders, usually because beginners have not received the proper kite techniques, kite skills, board skills, or your did not have the ideal gear for their current conditions.
2. Transitioning Back & Forth – You will learn how to master this basic skill, as you’ll get to practice how to correctly position your kite and board in the right spot while making your turns.
3. Jumping- This part of the lesson will show you the basic principals on how to jump and while doing it safely. Your instructor will demonstrate first, since he or she will be either a kitesurfing professional or an expert kiteboard instructor.
Please let your instructor know about any other kiteboarding needs that you may have. They will be more than happy to assist you mastering all necessary skills.
