Notes

As a general rule courses start at 10:00 and end at 16:00. An hour’s lunch break is normal; sometimes we will work through lunch times if conditions are favourable and then finish earlier. As tide and time wait for no man (or woman) these times are only a guide as we will make the most of the low water time.
We teach from Westward Ho! beach, on arrival at the kite spot for the day it is expected that you will need to pay for car parking on Northam Burrows and walk (5-10 mins) to the teaching location for that day.
Kitesurfing is a wind based sport where we rely on Mother Nature to be good to us! Sometimes she will blow far too much and we will cancel your lesson due to safety issues and sometimes she won't come out to play at all. If your lesson is cancelled we will automatically book your next available time.
All good things come to those who wait and when she gives us a good day it is one you will never forget!
