Our Snowkite lessons run in blocks of 3hrs. When the weather and the wind is good then 2 days are enough to work through 2-4 blocks and learn the basics. We are a small school and because of this we offer a very personal service. Our experience enables us to offer a wide range of lesson levels (Bigdayz Level 1-5). Levels 1 and 2 are the first goals to work through for beginners. Level 3 should be completed if someone intends to purchase their own equipment and go often in their own group snowkiting, from Level 3 onwards adrenaline really starts to play a role, which naturally increases the risk of accidents! Learning Level 4 and 5 is only for experienced kiter's and snowkiters. Regardless of which level you would like to achieve, Snowkiting is fun from the first hour on!

| First of all we start with the theory of the material, where we go over the fundamentals of the kite and various safety aspects. Then we move on to basic steering and independant control of the kite while standing on the snow. As soon as the kite is under control you are ready ride your skis/snowboard across flat terrain. The rest we'll tell you in the lesson... |

| Equiptment: |
To go Snowkiting you need a kite, a harness and ski or snowboard equiptment including helmet and back protector. Ski or Snowboard? Really doesn't matter! Both are good and both are fun, although to start with it is easier with skis. For the Snowkite course we have full kite equiptment including helmets and back protectors avaliable for use. The only thing you need to bring with you is the snowboard or skis. Our equipment is of the best quality, we use Snowkites from North (solid) with 100% -5th line safety for the first rides, Ozone Snowkites for the intermediate levels and then again North Tubekites for advanced levels.
