For Private 1:1 lessons you have the 100% focus of the instructors. We also use BB talkin headsets to ensure you have the constant flow of instructions if you are at the water start plus stage. If you are a beginner we would recommend 8 - 12 hour course to take you through the first 3 stages of learning how to kite so you should have experienced your first ride by the end of the course. Depending how many lessons you take you should be riding downwind and be beginning to think about your posture and stance to ride upwind. If you have already kited before you will meet the instructor first to explain your level and experience. He will then agree the focus and objectives for your session
