Kite landboarding lessons is a version of kiteboarding on the sand flats of South Padre Island. On the lessons - which are shorter than regular kiteboard lessons, and can accompany younger children - the student learns first how to fly a kite properly to produce power safely. Then, once they have become proficient at maneuvering the kite, the offroad skateboard is introduced. Using the kite in combination with the skateboard to sail around the Convention Center Sand Flats can be great fun for family and friends!
