At KBA we offer a 3 day package for the beginner. With this course we teach new riders all the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to kiteboard in a responsible and competent manner. Our aim is to ensure that you are independent as a new kiter so that afterwards you can go away and practice safely. As any experienced kiteboarder understands, accidents can and do occur, but are generally the result of rider inexperience, negligence and lack of kite knowledge. We feel that this course offers the required time needed to achieve the goal of independence. We also understand that each student varies in their learning style ability and experience. Thus, our instructors are trained to adapt lesson plans to suit the student/s levels.
If you can't spare 3 days, then we offer a 1 day discovery course which will give you a basic skill level and good understanding of kiteboarding and the equipment. If you have previously completed some training or need to brush up your skills we can offer you a 1 day refresher course.
For those who don't like the group teaching environment, we offer a private course 1 on 1 with the instructor. This can help in fast tracking you through a course or help to work on a particular area. |

At our centers we use the latest kites, boards and accessories for our students.
Boards : Depending on your weight and skill level we use either of the tried and tested Airush Square 1, 2 or 3 boards. These boards are a bi-directional design with enough volume to prevent the board being an issue when you are learning |
Kites: We use 4-Line inflatable kites to teach. Why learn with a two line when you are going to purchase and use a 4-line kite? We start you out on 4-line kites in the 6-9m^2 size range using short lines, progressing to larger kites and longer lines depending on the wind strength and your body weight. KBA has a large selection of kites ranging from 1.2,6,8,9,12,14,16 and 18m^2 sizes.
Accessories: We supply Cabrinha Seat and Waist harnesses, Gath safety helmets, and buoyancy/ impact vests.
What else you get from us:
- 25hp inflatable boat that we use for safety and teaching.
- (Hua Hin) We have a quad motorbike to transfer students up the beach after a downwind run on the kite
- Helmet mounted radios when board riding. This speeds up learning and makes the whole process easier for everyone.
- Fun and professional instruction
Item that you should bring to the lesson : UV rated sunglasses (that you don't mind losing!) with a secure strap, a hat with a strap, lots of sun screen, a rash vest and booties (optional
