6 IKO Awards for Kite House Sardinia
Advanced Kitesurf Course in Sardinia
Personalized Kite Coaching in South Sardinia – Kite House Sardinia
Designed for riders who already ride independently and want to take their kitesurfing to the next level, our advanced coaching sessions focus on structured progression, control and performance.
Whether your goal is to jump higher, start kiteloops, improve your freeride technique, explore unhooked freestyle, learn hydrofoil, or approach wave riding, our coaching is tailored to your level, goals and riding style.
Sessions can be organised individually or in small groups, making training not only more effective, but also more fun and affordable. Each rider works with their own kite, wears a radio helmet, and follows a clear progression plan under constant instructor supervision.
Many riders joining advanced coaching already own their equipment. In this case, we offer dedicated options and better value, without compromising safety, quality or coaching effectiveness.
What we offer
- Personalised advanced kite coaching programs, tailored to experienced riders and designed for faster and more effective progression.
- Equipment rental, on-water assistance and rescue service during training sessions.
- The fun and accessible lagoon downwind, finishing directly at the Kite House.
- Guided kite trips to explore different kite spots in South Sardinia throughout the year, depending on conditions.
- During all coaching sessions, full equipment is included in the price.
- To ensure clear and effective communication with the instructor, riders always wear a radio helmet.
- At the end of the training, each rider receives an IKO certification, recognized worldwide, confirming the level achieved.
Freeride & Big Air Training
Designed for riders who are already confident on the board and want to focus on
jumping, hooked tricks and big air progression, this training is the natural next step after basic riding skills.
Freeride & Big Air coaching is not hardcore freestyle.
It follows a methodical, progressive and safety-oriented approach to jumping higher, improving aerial control and learning hooked kiteloops step by step, always adapted to your level and the conditions.
Training focuses on timing, kite control, take-off technique and safe landings, building confidence before increasing height, power and commitment.
Sessions can be organised individually or in small groups, making progression faster, safer and more enjoyable.

Freestyle coaching focuses on correct technique, timing and board control, starting from solid foundations and progressing step by step.

Training usually takes place in Punta Trettu, thanks to its flat water and steady wind, and can also be organised in other suitable spots such as Is Solinas and Porto Botte, depending on conditions and rider level.
Hydrofoil coaching follows a step-by-step approach, starting from theory and board management, progressing through controlled waterstarts and first rides, and moving towards efficient riding and manoeuvres.
