Who Can Learn Kitesurfing

"Can a Teen Girl or Someone Over 50 Y.O. Learn How to KiteSurf?"

First of all, kitesurfing (kiteboarding) is considered an extreme sport, such as wakeboarding, rock-climbing, mountain biking etc. Even though our kitesurfing kites got way safer in 2006, with Bruno Levangay's invention of the BowKite, making the handling of kites much easier and with the possibility to depower the kite 95%, kiteboarding still requires the following:

- You need to feel confident in water
- Be a good swimmer
- Have good physical shape, no back problems or arthritic handicaps

If you're out of shape, overweight or very thin and have no muscles, you can do some simple streches and excercises to get a bit stronger. But anyway, you'll get stronger when you kitesurf.
Kite surfing is not as difficult on the arm nor strenuous on back muscles as windsurfing is.

Now, it doesn't matter if you're 12 or 50, muscelous or not…
We've taught 75 YO Dominican former windsurfer to kiteboard and we taught 10 YO children too.
We teach men and we teach women.

The thing is, it all boils down to technique;
A kite surfing kite is strong enough to pull a car and will easily lift you up in the air, when you want to jump.
Also when you don't want to jump, if you do the wrong things.

Therefore, you must learn to master the technique of handling this amazing power kites!!!
You must learn to control a kite surfing kite properly.
The safest, easiest and fastest way to achieve this is by taking kitesurfing lessons at a good kitesurfing school.

Stefan learned kitesurfing all by himself, because in 1999 he had no other option.
Kitesurfing was back then a new sport and not yet existing in Cabarete.
He spent 4 long hard months struggling to learn how to kitesurf.
EVERY single day, he spent 2-4 hours learning to kite surf!
Not to mention the MANY injuries he obtained in the process…

Today, Kitexcite kite school students can progress to similar level Stefan achieved in 4 monthes in only 10-20 days – and Much SAFER.

You see, from the start on Stefan invented a better, safer and more efficient way to teach people like you how to kiteboard.
He built a special Remote Radio Helmet and perfected kitesurfing courses to include a remote teaching system for our Kitexcite kitesurfing students.

What this all translates into is, that when you're taking your first kitesurfing lessons kitesurfing schoolssteps in the water, away from your instructor, you are never alone.
It means you get solid advice in your ear even when you're in the water on your own!
No need to panic when you're alone in the water if you can't get it right or something goes wrong – your kitesurfing instructor sees every mistake you're doing and tells you – REAL-TIME – how to repair kite position and everything else.
REAL TIME also means you learn to kitesurf faster 'cause you can hear what your instructor has to suggest – right now when you need it, not later when you get back to the beach. (He'd likely forget by then every single detail about mistakes you made while you were in the water. So would you!

Most other kitesurfing schools leave you to fend for yourself alone in the water and can't shout to you over the noise of waves – you won't hear anyway.

This water time is kite surfing lesson time you pay for which you don't get a value for unless you use our Radio Helmet kitesurfing instruction system.

So whether you're looking around for a kite school for a 12 year old child or if you're over 50 – not to worry. You can learn to kite surf safely, quickly and easily at any age!
