Introductory Windsurfing Lesson

From Dressing to Self-Rescue, everything is covered!

Books

When you book an introductory class at Sky High, you do so through our online booking system! From scheduling to changing your lesson afterwards, it's all possible using our unique way of booking. You get all the information you need, and can change your planned lesson up to a week in advance, just online!

When you have booked, we expect you on time at the beach of Workum. Arriving a quarter of an hour earlier than your planned lesson time is recommended, so that we can take the time to arrange everything properly before your lesson starts. This means that we help you to put on your equipment and discuss what you want to learn in the lesson.

start

Wij geven les via het systeem van de International Kitesurfing Organization, ofwel IKO. Al onze instructeurs zijn opgeleid via dit systeem, wat bijdraagt aan het snel, veilig en op plezierige wijze leren kitesurfen. Wil je hier meer over weten? Scroll dan door naar beneden, voor een uitgebreid stappenplan!

Of course we teach you all kinds of peripheral things besides kite surfing. This means that together we change clothes, collect materials, check and build up. All this to give you the best possible idea of what is involved in this exciting sport. Whatever form the lesson takes, there will always be plenty of time for knowledge of materials and for ensuring safety at all times.

On the water

Workum is een populaire kitesurf-spot, en zodoende is er vaak veel bedrijvigheid op het water. Daarom is het belangrijk dat je vanaf dag één leert omgaan met andere watersporters om je heen. Afhankelijk van het type les ben je alleen met een instructeur, of samen met andere cursisten in de les. Wij geven 7 dagen per week lessen, dus zijn als het waait altijd op het water te vinden.

afterwards

Na afloop van de instructie op het water sluiten we de les nog even passend af op het strand. Onder het genot van een drankje evalueren we de les, en kunnen de ervaringen besproken worden. Er is tijd voor vragen, advies of het bespreken van een volgende les. Ook zijn de instructeurs en instructrices er om je te helpen bij vragen over de aanschaf van eigen materiaal, en de opties die je daarin hebt.
