How it works
Build a complete foundation for controlled kite handling, board recovery through body drag and first water starts without skipping the safety systems. The aim is to understand each decision, not simply copy movements.
Eight hours are usually split across two to four days. Every block starts with a short review and ends with a clear next objective; wind, fatigue and learning pace determine the final schedule.
