Course Information
Daily schedule kite course
Registration & Introduction
We will meet at 12:00 on the first day of the course at the kite center on the grounds of Camping Monja in Brenzone. First we get to know each other and take care of all the necessary organizational points such as registration and payment to guarantee a smooth running of the kite lessons.
Theory unit & material science
Now we prepare together the material for our practice session and you get to know our kite equipment as well as the safety system. Afterwards we will discuss the theoretical basics which you will need later for the water.
For the advanced kiter among you and participants in the private kite lessons we organize a separate theory. We will individually cater to your personal level and prepare you for your next kite session.
Practice session on the water
We go on the water already on the first course day depending on the wind (between 1 and 3 pm) after a short break and kite together for up to 4 hours. We teach in the group kite lessons in the buddy system with two students per setup, so you can regenerate in between and learn by observing other participants as well as the tips and analysis of your kite instructor.
Planning & Feedback
After the session we take care of the material (gladly over an after work beer) and the course schedule for the next day is discussed together. Since the daily schedule depends on the wind and weather conditions, the kite course can start as early as 7:30 am the following day. This means we go out on the water in the morning and the theory lessons then take place after the session.
In the evenings we often go out for dinner together or organize a BBQ at our
kite school at Lake Garda
.
