What you can expect

If you really want to learn kitesurfing and become proficient in the sport, this course is for you.

We offer a complete 2-day 1-night immersion in the Lake District of Rio de Janeiro — one of the best places in Brazil and the world to practice kitesurfing, with ideal wind conditions and safety for your progress.

During the course, you will be guided by instructors certified by the IKO (International Kitesurfing Organization), a world leader in teaching the sport, ensuring a professional, safe, and efficient experience.

Over the course of the 2 days, you progress from beginner to intermediate level, following a methodology structured by levels, with a total focus on your progress and enjoyment.

What will we do?
We will meet in Rio de Janeiro and head to the Lake District, where the course will take place.

Over the course of 2 days:
You will have daily practical and theoretical lessons

You will train in ideal wind conditions

You will progressively improve your control of the kite and in the water

The lesson will be divided into stages and levels.

PLAN OF LEVELS AND SKILLS DEVELOPED:

Level 1 – Discovery Course
• S.E.A. Assessment (Site, Environment, and Activity)
• Gear setup
• Safety systems
• Wind window theory
• First commands with the kite
• Ground control
• Launch and landing

Level 2 – Intermediate Course
• Entry and exit from the water with kite control
• Re-launching the kite in the water
• Body drag (moving in the water without a board)
• Body drag upwind
• Board recovery
• Self-rescue
• Navigation rules
• Introduction to the water start

Our goal is for you to leave the course with a solid foundation and the confidence to practice kitesurfing independently. The course progresses as the student progresses and demonstrates practical mastery of the content, each at their own pace.

Trust the process — kitesurfing requires practice, but progress is fast and extremely rewarding.

Round-trip transportation and accommodation are included.
