Whether on land or in the water, the essence of kiteboarding is the ability to control a kite whose power varies greatly depending on five main factors :

• The strength of the wind,

• what part of the "wind window" the kite is in

• the size of the kite

• the type of kite

• and how fast the kite is moving.

The safest and best way to get basic hands-on experience with these factors is to fly a small 2 line trainer kite in varying amounts of wind.   Also, the trainer's 2 line control bar introduces basic steering technique without the added complication of a 4 line setup.

For these reasons, we almost always have novices fly a trainer before attempting even small 4 line traction kites.

Although most people can usually start flying a small 4 line kite after 15 to 45 minutes of flying a trainer,  those who fly a trainer for 5 to 20 hours before attempting a 4 line traction kite tend to get much more from their lessons and progress more rapidly  because they now have a better understanding of how the bigger kites will react in different parts of the sky etc.

Because we're convinced that more trainer practice is one of the best ways to accelerate learning kiteboarding, we try to make it as easy as possible for our clients to get this extra practice before their lesson.

Students can RENT a trainer for up to 60 days for ONLY $10, $20 or $30.  (the price varies according to size of the kite).  

It works like this:   

1.     You select the size you'd like.  We have 1 Meter, 2 Meter and 3 Meter sizes.   Although the smallest will demonstrate how the window and steering works, the larger sizes are more fun and, in stronger wind, more challenging.

2.     You purchase the kite for $76.00, $145.00 or $175.00 (includes sales tax).   If it is a used kite, it is $10.00, $15.00 or $20.00 less.

3.     At the time of purchase, you receive a written agreement that specifies that you will receive a refund of the purchase price minus $10.00, $20.00 or $30.00 IF you, within 60 days of purchase,

        A.     Schedule a private lesson AND

        B.     Return the kite undamaged (they a VERY hard to damage).
