Discover kiting!
A real lesson in piloting the kite, in which you will learn to manage the kite safely, alongside the instructor, thanks to the support of our boats: in practice, this is the first lesson of our basic course. It starts from the foundamental commands, to understand the behavior and responsiveness of the kite, then move on to the various maneuvers: then you will learn to take off and land the kite, and you will try to keep it in the neutral zone. A this time you will start to handle the power of the kite, using both the de-power system and the kite-speed to generate traction. These drills are held on board the boat, in complete safety, assisted by the instructor. The participation fee is € 100 per person. If you're not already a xkite member, also calculates our membership fee (€ 10).

The advanced improvement lessons are individual and personalized, and the program is agreed on the basis of the objective to be achieved, from the improvement of the gait to the changes of direction.
OUR STRONG POINTS
- lessons take place with radio helmets: this allows you to communicate during each phase of the exercise
- we provide all the equipment, choosing it based on the characteristics of each student, the intensity of the wind and the objective of the lesson
PRICE
The master class costs 110 euros. If you are not already a member of ours, also calculate the annual membership fee (10 euros).
PERSONAL TRAINER TICKET
If you want to make constant progress, we offer you a package of 4 private and personalized lessons, to be agreed with the coach based on the objectives to be achieved. Each session includes an introductory briefing and a session in the water lasting a minimum of one hour. During the practical exercise, video recordings will be made, useful for verifying the technical progression. At the end of the exercise it is possible to stay in the water to train. At the end of the day, a de-briefing is held with an analysis of the video recordings made during the session.
