Corso base di Kitesurf - Kitesurf Stagnone

Basic Kitesurf Course - 1 Lesson

THEORETICAL LESSON

We will talk about wind and gaits, navigation rules, safety and equipment, specifically

Recognize wind direction and intensity • Definition of windward and leeward • Wind directions with respect to the beach and critical issues related to kite practice • Type of kite: boxed and inflatable • Opening and inflation of the kite • Positioning of the kite on the ground in safety after inflation • Unwinding and checking the lines2 methods (upwind and downwind) • Connection of the lines and main nodes (lintel, gassa) • Disarming, deflating and folding the kite • Andfof obstacles on the wind: turbulence • Distances safety

Corso base di Kitesurf – 2 Lezione

FIRST PRACTICAL LESSON

We will use a Kite foil. We will learn how to assemble, disassemble a Kite and learn about the flight window. We will become familiar with the basic movements, the first safety rules

Area of flight of the kite in relation to the direction of the wind• Neutral zones and power zones, Zenit• Use the quick release: effect and possibili situations of use • Using the release on the leash: effect and possibili situations of use • Cutting the cables: effect possibili situations of use • Removing the tharness: effect possibili situations of use

Basic Kitesurf Course - 3 Lessons

SECOND PRACTICAL LESSON

Using a small size kite short cables. We will see the assembly / disassembly, assisted take-off / landing. We will fully understand the flight window and the points of greatest traction

International signals for launch and the landing • Correct grip of the kite from the leading edge and positioning for launch • Safety precautions during and after launch • Keep the kite still at the zenith (with two hands, with one hand) • Small movements of the kite • Slowly slide the kite along the whole arc of the neutral zone

Basic Kitesurf Course - 4 Lessons

THIRD PRACTICAL LESSON

Always on the beach. Use of a kite with standard lines (25m), autonomous take-off of the wing, first seated starts, and finally a surf rescue maneuver.

Choice of the side of the flight area from which to launch in base on spot • Correct placement for the launch • Control of the kite in the zones neutral • Safety measures during and after the landing • Relay techniques with leading edge in the water (with fifth line, without fifth line)

Basic Kitesurf Course - 5 Lessons

FOURTH PRACTICAL LESSON

Body drag. That is, we will enter the water, we will learn the relaunch maneuver when the kite falls to the ground. Sailing in the water without a board, the lesson ends with the recovery of the board in the water

Use of the body for scales traction • Progressive power management • Use of depower to increase and decrease power • Simulation of the departure from the water in various conditions of invelation • Use of the depower trim to change the incidence and attitude

Basic Kitesurf Course - 6 Lessons

FIFTH PRACTICAL LESSON

Departures with the table. We need to understand technically how to do a correct body / board / kite movement to start making the first edges.

Recovery of the board in body drag• Gait in body drag on the table in hand• Put the table ai foot • Stay in the pre-start position with the board ai foot • Movement of the kite in the phase of departure • Use of depower in the departure• Correct body trim • Starting technique with the board.
