Due to our extensive experience in kitesurfing as a sport and instruction inland we are able to bring you a kiting school that makes kiteboarding as simple and accessible for all Gautengers.

Kiteboarding has evolved in leaps and bounds through the years and was once a sport only for the Extreme but due to huge advancements in kites and training the sport has become accessible for all!!! With Inland kitesurfing you will be taught all the basics in a couple of hours and we will supply you all the right equipment to get you going in a safe and friendly environment.
Once you have mastered the basics you will be able to sail with confidence and as you progress the sport becomes even more exiting as you start flying through the air. And remember kite surfing is a sport with very little boundaries and one is always learning new tricks.

Below you will find a complete run down of all the courses we have to offer from beginner right through to learning tricks.

After each Lesson you will be issued an IKO card which shows the kitesurfing level you have achieved so far. These cards are becoming ever important as the kitesurfing sport grows; many worldwide destinations require you to have one of these cards before you are permitted to kite-surf off the beach rent or even buy equipment! And one also needs to have an IKO card in order to kite at Leewpan.

Hints and tips to speed up ones training and decrease your training costs.

1) Kite surfing is 80% kite skills and 20% board riding skills so it is always a good idea to invest into a small foil kite and at every opportunity you get take it out and fly it as this will increase your kite flying skills and get you to understand how to fly a basic kite, the wind window and power zone.

2) Spend some time at a cable park where you will get to understand how to use your feet and body to control the board and its great fun as well!! If you don’t have a kite board and would like to give the cable park a try please give us a call as we do rent out kite boards for the day.

3) Get your own gear even if it’s just your kite in the beginning. Now this we would only recommend to someone who is a 100% sure that they will do this sport for years to come.  Having your own gear gives you the opportunity to keep practicing once your 2 hour water course is complete.  This will greatly decrease the time it takes for you to learn the sport and save you money on renting gear as you will only be able to progress to the water course part 2 once you are proficient in all the areas of a specific course.

4) Get the Kite school DVD. This DVD shows you step by step each stage of the learning you have learnt in the above courses. This DVD helps as one can go home and in the own time work through the DVD and re-fresh ones mind on what they have previously learnt at there training.
