Kiteboarding is a cool and highly enjoyable sport... but similar to other
marine sports, it can be quite dangerous without the right knowledge and
skills.
First of all, it is necessary to learn how to handle and control the kite
and other equippment. Unlike surfing or snowboarding it is not possible
to just learn by watching others or pic it up your own. It takes a little
time to learn the basic skills.
For everyone who wants to start kiteboarding or is interested, we definitely
recommend taking lessons at a kite school to safely enjoy kiteboarding.
