"The “Semi-private kite” service allows you to privatize our instructor and his boat for two people. This is an excellent option to benefit from a service with reduced numbers that is more affordable than a private lesson."

Why
To have a private course format that is more accessible than a private course. Share the course with the person of your choice or let us know if you would like to privatize the session with two unknown people. We will do our best to organize this course.
For whom
- For those wanting a reduced course format to share with another person of their choice or unknown.
- For those wanting to access our teaching service with boat at the most affordable price.
- For those wanting to discover the Kite activity with a loved one on the sandbank of the Thau pond. A personalized, unique and exotic experience.
- For those wanting to offer a progression or improvement session to two people of their choice to allow them to move up a gear in terms of technical improvement.
The goals
No session objectives planned. We fully adapt to your expectations which we will try to achieve as quickly as possible. After a first session, we will be able to give you areas for progress so that you can improve, alone, if you go upwind.
Be careful, we will not be able to fully optimize the objective of the two people if they have too different levels. Consult our FAQs.
The benefits
Boat teaching :
The boat is privatized for two people. If the levels are consistent, go for full-water lessons and save time and energy. During certain stages of progress, your goals can be achieved 2 to 3 times faster.
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 your progress on the water in a unique and protected natural site
.
Personalized demonstrations from your instructor :
Our instructor will take the time to show you precisely the points to improve through technical demonstrations.
Two people with an instructor can cover all wind conditions in a semi-private course.
In case the weather conditions are below 12 knots we suggest that both people have the same level or similar wishes. This will allow you to follow a session in accordance with your expectations or your common needs.
In the event that the wind is strong (28 knots and more) we reserve the right to reduce the number of people to one person for one instructor. This will depend on your experience and the level of the other person.

FAQ
- 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.
- More monitor attention and radio feedback to promote your progress.
- More likely that group levels will be similar. The progression is smoother and more stimulating.
- More technical demonstrations from your instructor who has more time to take your Kite and show you in real life.
- You save time and energy. The session requires less recovery time. You are able to start the next session in great shape in case you wish to continue the courses.
The course will take place in deep water or shallow water. You must choose. We will not be able to respond, in the same course, to an objective taking place in deep water and another objective taking place in shallow water. If the choice is too complicated, you can always find another person with a similar session goal.
We recommend drift progressions for people wanting to accelerate their goals of getting out of the water with the board (waterstart), their first glides until gaining speed on both sides. For the final stage of going upwind, the environment doesn’t matter. Deep or shallow water, both environments are conducive to good progress with slightly faster progression in deep water.
Most other course objectives will be more favorable in shallow water. They will allow you to obtain a level of practice allowing you to really navigate without the assistance of a school.
Although a semi-private course with reduced numbers allows you to benefit from more personal support, we must still meet the objectives of two people at the same time. This can be a hindrance for one or the other if you need to evolve in two different environments. If we have a request for progression in drifting with the boat and a request for improvement on flat water, close to the sandbank, we will not be able to honor both requests on the same course.
If one person is at waterstart and requires boat instruction to accelerate their progress and the other person wants to work on freestyle improvement tricks, we will have difficulty fully optimizing the progress of both people because a request is made in deep water, drifting, while the second request occurs near the sandbank in a flat body of water. You will have to make a choice or find another person with a similar level.
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.
These courses are more expensive because our instructor is busy with fewer people. This directly impacts the price of the service.
In addition, if our boat intervenes in your progress process, our fuel costs are considerably increased.
