Kites

Trainer Kite: The 3-line Trainer Kite is the ultimate kite to safely enter the sport of kiting. Designed to bring out the kitesurfer within everyone, the Trainer Kite is responsive, smooth, and stable with just enough power to ensure you will be ready to progress safely and with ease.
The unique 3-line Safety System with Safety Leash guarantees safe, easy re-launch and gives you the ability to land the trainer kite by yourself. If you feel too much power or are ever unsure, all you have to do is let go of the bar, and the Trainer will land automatically and wait for you until you re-launch it again.

We will also use a small foil for the water and can help you gain the necessary confidence in the first few lessons.
Inflatable kites: We use top-of-the-line inflatable kites in our lessons. These kites are durable, have the latest safety systems one pump feature, and can depower a lot allowing us to use them easily and safely. These kites help you become a great kiteboarder faster, and this is why we use them.

Boards

We have boards of different sizes and shapes to adapt them to your progression rhythm and the existing conditions. For example, we have big and small boards with more or less flex, flatter, or with more rocker. This way, we can choose the one that is best suited to help you progress.

Protection

Wetsuits, helmets, life-vests, and wind-blockers 
In our lessons, we will equip you with a pleasant and comfortable 5/3mm wetsuit so you can enjoy your lesson.
We will always equip you with a life vest to make sure you stay afloat in any condition. The life vest also acts as an impact protector, allowing extra protection while kiting. We have developed our life-vests perfectly adapted to our school needs. They are flexible and comfortable and fit perfectly under your harness.
Alongside our life-vests, we have colored t-shirts, so it’s easy to spot you in the water. The instructor has a similar shirt in blue, making them easily identifiable even at a distance.
You will also use a helmet to protect your head.
