Who is it for?
The discovery course is a perfect way to understand if kitesurfing is your ‘thing’. If you are eager to explore this new exciting sport - this course is for you. It is also suitable for those who just want to spend a fun and thrilling day.
Luckily for you, the course doesn't require any previous experience in watersports. Anybody can learn to kitesurf, even if you have never done anything like that before. If you have some previous experience with watersports, like wakeboarding, for example, this will give you an advantage, and you will learn and improve kitesurfing skills faster.
What do you learn during the Discovery lesson?
- Basic knowledge about kitesurfing in general, kite spot, wind and safety.
- How to setup a kite
- How to fly a kite (70% of the lesson)
This course starts with the theoretical info about the wind direction, wind window, kite spot, etc. This is an integral part of the course because it helps you understand how the kite works. As the next step, you will learn how to setup a kite. It means pumping the kite and connecting the lines of the bar. This process is pretty easy and takes between 5 to 10 minutes. Before we go into the water, we go over the safety system of the bar. This smart system is the reason that kitesurfing nowadays is so safe and accessible for everyone.
The best way to get to know the sport is to get into the water and fly a kite so this activity comprises the majority of the lesson. Unlike many other kitesurf schools we do not practise first with a small trainer kite on the beach. Our kite spot with flat waist-high water allows us to go directly into the water with a real kite! This will improve your kite control much faster. Kite control is one of the most important parts of the course. If your kite control is good, the rest of the lesson will be easy for you. Feel the power of the kite by moving the kite in a safe way. This is the most amazing feeling!
After the discovery lesson, you will be ready to proceed to the next level.

Everybody can learn how to kite, young or old, fit or not. This sport is more about the technique, so you don’t need a lot of strength. The only requirement is that you must be able to swim.
We are the only school in Thailand that uses the latest technology in Bluetooth radio helmets. These helmets are specifically designed for kitesurf schools to allow student-instructor communication during the lesson. This makes a big difference once the student is making the first rides and the distance between the instructor and student becomes quite big. Now we can keep advising you in every situation.
No wind = full refund! If we can't start or continue the kitesurf lesson because of the lack of wind, you will get 100% refund for those hours. It is also possible to go wakeboarding instead because the board feeling is very similar to the one you have when kitesurfing, hence this will help a lot to improve your skills. We also provide stand-up paddle boards and kayaks so even when there is no wind you can still enjoy a bunch of other activities.
