Of course, you will first be handed the material, perfectly tailored for you. Then you will be explained the main theory. For example, about wind: how can you take advantage of the wind to keep your kite in the air and steer it the way you want it? Of course, you are sure to get the necessary safety instructions as well.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kite Setup &amp; Control<\/h4>\n\n<p>An important part of the introductory lesson is Kite Setup and Kite Control. Make sure the gear is in good shape and, of course, it is nice if you keep control of the kite at all times.<br\/>Finally, your kite takes to the air. First practice a little in the shallow water so you experience what forces are at play and how the kite responds to your movements. Next, you enter the water. At first without a board, but as soon as you get the hang of it, a board will be added and you will really start kitesurfing!<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional guidance<\/h3>\n\n<p>Throughout the class you will have personal guidance from a professional instructor. English-speaking. Someone with a lot of experience in kitesurfing on Curacao, so your instructor will know how to assess how the wind is blowing and adjust his advice accordingly. Of course, you set the pace of the class.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incl. all material<\/h4>\n\n<p>An introductory lesson always includes all the necessary equipment: a kite set and water shoes. Provide your own sunscreen (waterproof!) and something to eat and drink, and you&#8217;ll be fine!<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow-up course<\/h3>\n\n<p>Did you think the introductory kitesurfing lesson was super cool and are you hungry for more? You can subsequently book a 3, 4 or 5-day Kitesurfing course. Usually, learning to sail the board succeeds from the end of lesson 2 or from lesson 3. The instructors completely follow the pace at which you pick up kitesurfing.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/website.naarcuracao.staging.golf.gillz.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kitesurfen-curacao-start-500x308-1.jpg\" alt=\"kitesurfing curacao introduction\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/308;\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/website.naarcuracao.staging.golf.gillz.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kitesurfen-curacao-500x309-1.jpg\" alt=\"Curacao kitesurfing lesson\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/309;\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/website.naarcuracao.staging.golf.gillz.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kitesurf-curacao-stjorisbaai-500x309-1.jpg\" alt=\"learn kitesurfing curacao\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/309;\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/website.naarcuracao.staging.golf.gillz.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kitesurf-curacao-500x309-1.jpg\" alt=\"kitesurfing curacao lesson\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/309;\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rate<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Kitesurfing introductory lesson can be done alone or with 2 people:<br\/>1 person =&gt; 2 hour introductory lesson, US$ 169.<br\/>2 people =&gt; 3 hour introductory class, US$ 285 for the class (so US$ 143 p.p.)<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Small deposit<\/h4>\n\n<p>When booking, you make a 15% deposit; the remainder you pay at check-in (cash in NAF or USD).<\/p>\n\n<p>If you want to continue learning kitesurfing after the introductory lesson, book a 3, 4 or 5-day course at a discount.
