What to check before you choose
Level and goal
Describe your experience honestly: first lesson, riding on your own or progressing. Beginners need shallow water and a private instructor; experienced riders need gear rental and supervision on the water.
Season and time
Kite wind is reliable from November to March and builds towards midday. Surfing and outdoor training are easier in the morning or evening. Ask what happens with no wind or waves: rescheduling or a refund.
What the price includes
Ask about gear, vest, helmet, a boat or rescue, the instructor's certificate (such as IKO) and insurance. Agree whether you pay for time on the water or the whole session including theory.
