What you can expect

If you truly want to learn kitesurfing and become proficient in the sport, this course is for you.

We offer a comprehensive 2-day, 1-night immersion programme in Rio de Janeiro's Lake District—one of the best places in Brazil and the world for kitesurfing, with ideal wind conditions and a safe environment for your progress.

During the course, you will be guided by instructors certified by the IKO (International Kitesurfing Organisation), a global leader in kitesurfing instruction, ensuring a professional, safe, and effective experience.

Over the course of the 2 days, you will progress from beginner to intermediate level, following a structured, level-based methodology with a complete focus on your development and enjoyment.

What will we do?
We will meet in Rio de Janeiro and head to the Lake District, where the course will take place.

Over the course of 2 days:
You will have daily practical and theoretical lessons

You will train in ideal wind conditions

You will progressively improve your kite control and your skills in the water.

The lesson will be divided into stages and levels.

LEVEL PLAN AND SKILLS DEVELOPED:

Level 1 – Discovery Course
• S.E.A. (Site, Environment, and Activity) assessment
• Equipment setup
• Safety systems
• Wind window theory
• First kite controls

Our goal is for you to leave the course with a solid foundation and the confidence to kitesurf independently. The course progresses as each student advances and demonstrates practical mastery of the material, at their own pace.

Trust the process – kitesurfing takes practice, but progress is rapid and extremely rewarding.

Return transport and accommodation are included.
