What you can expect

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

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

    During the course, you'll 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 2 days, you'll progress from beginner to intermediate level, following a methodology structured by levels, with a complete focus on your progress and enjoyment.

    What will we do?
    We'll 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'll train in ideal wind conditions

    You'll make progressive improvements in controlling 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)
    • Assembly of the gear
    • Safety systems
    • Wind window theory
    • First commands with the kite
    • Ground control
    • Launching and landing

    Level 2 – Intermediate Course
    • Entering and exiting the water while controlling the kite
    • Relaunching the kite on the water
    • Body drag (moving in the water without a board)
    • Body drag upwind
    • Board recovery
    • Self-rescue
    • Sailing rules
    • Introduction to 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 takes practice, but progress is fast and extremely rewarding.

    Round-trip transportation and accommodation are included.
