NO
For those who do not follow or know the safety regulations, kitesurfing can be a very dangerous sport.
Kitesurfing courses are necessary to know well the theoretical bases of how the kite works, the safety measures, and the rules of preference in the water. The worst causes of accidents arise from people trying to learn alone or with the help of an inexperienced person. In addition to being dangerous, it may take a while to evolve to the level of what an instructor can do in a relatively short period.
The most important thing to take into account is the experience and qualifications of the instructors.
Our kitesurfing school renews its material every year and is state-of-the-art, and the rescue boats are attentive to our students who are marked with bright lycra.
In addition, we have civil liability and accident insurance.
It is advisable for the student to bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, water and sunglasses.
We will provide you with the rest: kite, board, neoprene, vest, harness and helmet.
If the wind is not suitable for the course, we will refund the money equivalent to the hours remaining to be taken without any problems.
