What to expect
Your session starts with fundamentals on land: kite control, body positioning, and safety protocols. Instructors drill the essentials until you're confident before hitting the water. Once on the board, expect hands-on coaching as you find your balance and edge. You'll practise in shallow zones first, building toward genuine independence. The safari break gives your legs a rest and a chance to spot local wildlife. The downwinder closer to day's end lets you apply what you've learned across open bay, moving under your own power with instructor support nearby.
Good to know
Wear sun protection and bring water; snacks aren't included. The venue is wheelchair accessible with accessible transport options nearby. Strong cardiovascular fitness helps but isn't essential—instructors scale to your fitness level. Not suitable if you have serious heart conditions.
