Learn how to Kite Surf
Our highly experienced BKSA instructors will tailor your course to your experience and skill level, but for complete novices it always starts with safety and basic kite handling skills.
On the doorstep of one of the best beaches to kite surf in the UK you are never far from a warm shower and a long drink back at the hotel after your day on the water. And with a number of beaches minutes from the hotel cancellations due to weather are few and far between.
We supply all the kit (most of it’s brand new for 2010), all you need to do is take the plunge and get onto a course. The course is virtually all practical so never a dull moment and we are here to ensure your introduction to this extraordinary sport is everything you hoped it would be.
