North Wales Kitesurfing Waterwork Day

 

This course is aimed at people who have done a beginner kitesurfing course with North Wales Kitesurfing or elsewhere, and for one reason or another were unable to complete it or feel they would like to recap on the water work to boost their confidence. They know all the theory, are competent beach flyers but just need to cover body dragging and getting on the board. This is a one day course and will run on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Entry requirements: Must be able to re-launch the kite

Clients must also show their IKO Kiteboarders card showing their skill level.

Once you have booked your chosen course you will be e-mailed 2-3 days before with timings and directions to the meeting point. Times of courses will change due to the tide.

North Wales Kitesurfing Boardwork Day

 

If you would like more practice getting up on your board and would like to improve your riding skills whilst receiving tips from our staff on the safety boat, this would be the perfect day out on the water for you.

As seen in the photo when the Tide goes in and out a Lagoon is created. This is perfect for practicing your Boardwork without going out to sea.

This is a one day course and will run on Saturdays, and Sundays depending on availability.

Entry Requirements: Must be able to re-launch the Kite and Bodydrag.

Clients must also show their IKO Kiteboarders card showing their skill level.
