The session
To progress with two other people in class and benefit from serious support. Many schools open classes to 4
people which considerably slows down your progress time but also the feeling you will have at the end of the service! Less support reassures you and gives you confidence to continue your progress in the kite activity.
- For those wanting to meet new Kiteboarders in a three-person course and progress with them.
- For those wanting to benefit from our most affordable “individual” session teaching in our school.
- For those who do not need boat assistance during their learning process.
Photos / Videos :
Photos and videos sent to your phone at the end of the service. We will have time to immortalize your progress on land and perhaps on the water if the level of the group allows it.
- Personalized demonstrations from your instructor :
Collective instructor demonstration to help you progress. If the composition of the group and the weather conditions permit, the demonstrations can also be special.
Weather gauge
With three to one instructor, we recommend sessions in 12 to 15 knots up to 25/28 knots.
These are the best weather conditions to put the whole group into practice and help you all progress.
The low wind range (12 knots and less) is achievable depending on your past experience and your motivation.
For more details on the progress of group lessons depending on the weather conditions, a document listing the Weather Gauges is at your disposal.

FAQs
We are blocking the number of group lessons at 3 instead of 4 in order to help you progress more quickly. The big plus of our school is the possibility for you to switch to a smaller service at any time during your progress.
We also offer lessons for 4 or more people, but everyone in the group must know each other. We will go on a session with a slightly different objective.
- Lessons with small numbers are private and semi-private lessons. In other words, the instructor will provide the session to one or two people.
- Our group lessons include a staff of three people for one instructor. Unlike the majority of schools in France which provide group lessons for 4 people, our experience has made us opt for a reduced number of students.
This allows us to continue teaching with passion and to provide you with maximum security. With us, you will benefit from each of your sessions.
The set-up time decreases as soon as the number of students in the course is lower. You also benefit from more ongoing, low-staff advice over a shorter period of time. In other words, your progress is much faster in a small group and you will practice as much as in a group class. If you still have energy, we don’t have any other classes afterwards and our instructor wants to extend the session, we can extend the session.
Thematic courses allow you to access very specific skills. This way, everyone in the course will have the same goal. This allows us to organize the course differently. Some of these sessions are organized to take advantage of lighter or calm windy conditions. This will allow you to save practice time and understand certain phenomena for subsequent sessions.
For weather reasons, it is possible that the objective of one person in the group is not achievable. Our school will offer you another kite service or ask you to pay extra if the number is reduced. We ask you to pay the price that corresponds to the service provided. This is generally not the case as we have a waiting list but if this happens you can refuse to pay the excess.
We will contact you at our shared availability to carry out the service with another full slot. For our part, we will provide the service available on D-day with a smaller number of staff.
In order to provide you with knowledge and skills in less than 12 knots, our school has set up thematic sessions. You gain knowledge and skills on our services: Beach Kite, Safety Kite and Light Wind Kite.
