Typical Session: Meet at kiteboard center, prepare and load kite equipment into vehicle. Head into the desert area next to the sea for 1st kite session.

Off-load kites and other equipment. Learn how to set-up the kite equipment. Detremine wind direction and learn about the wind window and how kite reacts. Then it's onto more theor a pre-flight check and then onto the exhilaration of launching and landing the kite by yourself. Fell the power and adrenalin kick in! Then it's onto learning how to pilot the kite in the power zone, rigging and adjusting a 4 line kite and piloting with a harness.
