Note

As a general rule courses start at 10:00 and end at 16:00. An hour’s lunch break is normal; occasionally we will work through lunch times if conditions are favourable and then finish earlier.

We teach from Westward Ho! beach in North Devon on arrival at the kite spot for the day it is expected that you will need to pay for car parking as well as walk 10-15 mins to the course venue.

If you have booked onto a Kitesurfing course you need to be flexible with your times and days to get the most favoured conditions. Due to the un-predictable wind/weather conditions, sessions may be cancelled/changed last minute, as we need over 10 knots and under 25 knots of wind.

We have been working in the industry for over 8 years and our knowledge of local wind & tide effects help to ensure your learning with us is always safe, valuable and lots of fun.
