Why advanced coaching sessions?
Whether you are newly independent or already riding independently for a while with the need to progress, the advanced coaching sessions will help you to reach the next level.
Performing your first jumps, riding in a group, rescuing someone, trying new tricks and transitions, the photo/video debriefings will greatly help you to understand and correct any errors.
Depending on your needs, we can adapt the session’s program to maximize your progress.
Finally, if you want to become a kite instructor, we can guide you towards the IKO level 4 certificate, a prerequisite to enrolling in the course!
Program:
Riding: first jumps, power jibe, jumps with grab, jump transitions, going upwind and downwind efficiently (preparation for downwinders), light wind skills (preparation for hydrofoiling), etc.
Safety: rescuing a rider, picking up a board or a kite (while flying yours), self-rescue in deep water, etc.
Theory: equipment, weather forecast and tides, aerodynamic, etc.
Prerequisites:
Independent level: being able to go upwind, turn, ride toe-side and perform a basic self-rescue. This corresponds to an IKO level 3N certificate.
Being able to navigate in a group: know the riding rules/priorities. Depending on the session’s program, the instructor might also be riding with his own kite.
The Obidos lagoon is ideal for the coaching sessions, due to its variety of riding spots. Depending on the program, we will adapt and choose the spot accordingly.
In order to help you progress, our knowledge about the spot and its specific weather conditions will be a major asset to organise efficient kitesurf training sessions.
