Kite surfing lessons
Kite surfing is another wind based sport that is just great to learn in Poole and Bournemouth.
However, at the present time, kite surfing lessons are not something that we offer, for a number of reasons...
Firstly, kite surfing is more expensive than kite boarding or kite buggying, because of the the water element. Being in water makes kite surfing far harder to teach, and the equipment far more expensive! The power kite principles of kite surfing are the same, so we can actually teach you how to fly a kite, just not in the water - we keep to dry land.
Secondly, it is actually illegal to teach kitesurfing to children under 14 years of age. We feel that everyone should be able to experience power kite sports, so we stick to kite sports that are easy to learn. There are plently of other kite sports to learn!
SB Kites is the only kite school in the Dorset coastal area which offers land based power kite lessons, kite buggy lessons and kiteboarding lessons.
Kev and Sue are ready to teach you, your friends and family all aspects of power kiting, bugging and kite boarding enabling you to continue the kiting safely wherever you are. We are experienced kiters with the correct insurance, as well as sports first-aid certificates, and one of our instructors is passed by the criminal records bureau.
Power kiting is a physical sport, so before the lesson, we kit you out with the appropriate safety equipment. We use a range of kites, boards and buggies for our clients and are happy to advise on the kites, boards and buggies that are right for you.
The majority of kite lessons will take place in Poole and Bournemouth, and we choose the best flying days to help you learn to fly! At SBK we can teach you the control of a power kite in one easy lesson - no experience is necessary. There are no minimum fitness requirements, and we tailor each of our courses to suit all abilities.
