No prior experience is required. You should be able to swim.

If you windsurf, surf, snowboard, skateboard or wakeboard, then you will have many of the board skills required to kiteboard. Eighty-five percent of the sport is about kite control, however, and first you will need to learn safety and kite control before you can attempt to combine kite flying and board riding. Kiteboarding is somewhat similar to these sports, except you use an inflatable kite to harness the wind for propulsion. Once you are able to steer your kite across the sky, controlling both the power it delivers via the bar, and your direction of travel by proper edging of the board, you will be able to go anywhere and do anything.

The lessons are located in Napegue Harbour at the tip of the southern fork of Long Island just before Montauk. CLICK HERE for more details.

For the intro lesson wind is preferred but not required. When taking other lessons if there is not enough wind the lesson will be rescheduled. The instructor will make the decision regarding conditions.

Once the lesson is booked you can cancel 48 hours in advance. There is no charge if there is no wind for the lesson. Except for intro to kiteboarding lesson 1.
