WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
How many people onboard can learn?
As we tailor our service around your needs we make sure everyone that wants to learn will get the chance to. (Crew excluded) In our standard setting there is always a team of two instructors coming onboard. Within a 7-Day Beginners Course they can easily teach a family of four. For bigger groups we recommend an additional instructor or additional days onboard.
What requirements the yacht has to fulfill?
For us to come onboard and give lessons there are requirements the yacht has to fulfill. On the logistic side the yacht must have enough space available to host our instructors for their time onboard, while offering storage for the kite equipment. During the time of the course a tender must be available for use. Details are checked and discussed upon every request.
What if there is no wind?
Kitesurfing is depended on the wind and weather conditions, so we have to adapt. When booking with us our main goal is to maximize the time on the water, so we keep an eye on the best spots in your area. (Spotguiding) For an extended time onboard it can happen that there are days without wind, thats when instructors are paid a reduced off-day fee. Terms and conditions are set during the booking process.
