Lesson FAQ.
Below you will find the most frequently asked question
| | |
Are Lessons conducted all year round?
Yes our lessons take place all year round with the best time been from April through to Beginning of December, as this is the height of our season inland.
Is it not cold to kite in winter?
Our winter days in the highveld average around 15 - 20 degrees with our coldest month been July. So one does need a wetsuit to keep warm but the temp is certainly bearable and most time very pleasant and as Leewpan is shallow ones body is not fully submerged in the water the whole time except for ones feet where we will recommend boots. No training will be done at Sterkfontein in Mid winter as the water and air temp get too low for students to spend too much time in the water.
Where do you teach?
Our training is done at Leewpan dam this dam offers the best wind in Gauteng and the shallow water makes for fast and safe learning, the spot itself is also obstacle free with no rocks and stones nearby. We also offer Lessons at Sterkfontein and Barberspan.
What days do you offer lessons?
We offer the water lessons every time there is sufficient wind at Leewpan. If there is not enough wind on the day that the lesson has been scheduled your lesson will be re-scheduled to another day.
Must I make a reservation?
What must I bring for my lessons?
As we proved the gear all you need to bring for the day is a beach towel/Packed lunch/fresh water and sun screen.
I am an accomplished wakeboarder/Surfer. Will I pick up the sport really quick?
As Kite surfing is 80% kite control you need to learn the necessary kite skills before attempting to get your 1st ride. When you get on the board a back ground in those other sports will be handy to have.
Do I get a refund if my lessons are canceled?
There will be no re-funds but your voucher will be valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Is there an age limit to Kitesurfing?
No there is no age limit to Kitesurfing but any person who is under the age of 18 needs to be accompanied by a parent.
