This second group kiteboarding class is designed to build on all the skills covered in the intro adding in the board and working on getting your first rides. The beginning of the lesson usually involves some practice getting the board on your feet while flying the kite one-handed and maintaining proper position. Also covered are board-recovery techniques, boards are expensive! Next, you'll be generating some power to try and stand up on the board for the first time! This class includes a dedicated chase boat/ wave runner with your instructor right there the WHOLE time.
Everyone learns at different rates, some people take this class twice.
Many people choose to make the most of their time in paradise by taking further lessons. After getting the water start, some of the next skills include staying upwind, transitions, riding toe side, and of course jumping. You can move through these skills quickly when guided by an instructor, not to mention avoiding frustration and reducing the chance of injury. The boat is right there when you need a break and again when you finish so you needn't battle to stay upwind; no "walk of shame" for you.
