Beginner Kitesurf Course Sardinia

Kite lessons in Punta Trettu

If you are trying kitesurfing for the first time, or if you need a refresher to get back on the board, you are in the right place.
Our beginner kitesurf course will guide you step by step through all the fundamental techniques needed to start kitesurfing safely, up to water starts and your first rides.

The kite spot used for our kite lessons is Punta Trettu, a location that guarantees safe and easy learning thanks to its shallow, flat water and steady wind conditions.

The basic kitesurf course is usually organised in two-hour sessions. On average, our students need around six hours of lessons to achieve water starts and their first controlled rides.
The course structure encourages continuous progress: dividing lessons into two-hour blocks allows you to stay focused, learn effectively and avoid fatigue.

The total time required depends on each student’s experience, attitude, age and wind conditions. Some students manage to stand up and ride very quickly, while others may need a bit more time to practice the water start technique.

Day 1 – First kite lesson

We start on land with theory and a safety briefing, then move straight into the water.
You will practice controlling the kite and understanding its power. By using short lines, we ensure maximum safety.
You will learn how to control the kite with two hands, with one hand only, and how to relaunch it from the water.
We will also practice kite launching and landing, as well as walking safely with the kite.

Day 2 – Second kite lesson

Day two is fully practical. We go straight into the water using longer lines and, after a quick refresh of the exercises from day one, we start body dragging in all directions and learn how to body drag upwind.
You will practice recovering the board and begin getting up on it.
We will also practice a self-rescue procedure, so you are able to return safely to shore in case of difficulties.

Day 3 – Third kite lesson

The third day is also fully practical. We continue working with the board and focus on water start techniques, with the goal of getting you riding in both directions and stopping safely.
