?What is the structure of the Kitesurf course

.The course is built on 3 lessons which every lesson is 2 hours long

.Every lesson is dedicated to a different part in the learning process

.We put a tremendous effort on making each lesson effective and safe

:First lesson

Kitesurf is an extreme sport, therefore in the first lesson we will go over the safety measures, how to prepare the equipment, how to know which condition suits the student’s riding level and theory of kites as well

After theory we will start practicing on-land with normal size kite (not a trainer kite) we can skip trainer kite thanks to a special training method using short lines in order to reduce pull of the kite by that the student is gaining confidents in the kite and saving valuable time

:Second lesson

We will continue practicing kite control and have a deeper understanding of the kite’s behavior. We will learn how to create power, lunch and land the kite as well as in the water

In the water we will practice on power-strokes, body-drag upwind and re-launching

:Third lesson

If the student reached a sufficient control with the kite, we can move on to start practicing water-start and eventually riding

We are using “BBtalkin” Radio contacts which makes student-instructor communication much easier, leading to much more student’s success

?What are the prices for the course

.The cost for 3 lessons, 2 hours each (6 hours total) is 1900 nis

.There is also an option for single lesson for the cost of 650 nis

After the course, it’s possible to have additional lessons at a discounted price of 550 nis

.We also offer two-people course for a reduced price

?What is the best time for Kitesurfing in Israel

.There are two good seasons for kiting in the Mediterranean beaches in Israel

Spring: Mid-march till mid-June

Fall: End of august till mid-November

.Those are the time you can expect northern wind and warm sunny conditions

During Summer time around mid-June till end of august, the winds are light in our area and are stronger in Sea of Galilee or Eilat which require higher level of riding  due to the complexity of the spot
