Kitesurfing courses in Bel Ombre, Mauritius

Beginners start with a theory lesson on the sand. During this 30 to 45 minute session, you will learn to recognize the wind window and prepare your equipment.

Then, you will go into the water to learn how to handle your kite and master the body dragging. Depending on how quickly you understand, you will be able to use a board for short distances in the water.

Once you are comfortable with the above techniques, you can start to get downwind, turn and maybe even learn your first jumps.
