How to choose a kite school: questions before booking

A good school explains the conditions of your education before payment.

Who teaches and how

Find out the language, the instructor鈥檚 qualifications, the size of the group and how many people share one kite. The number of hours in the package itself says little about the time you will spend driving. Ask to describe the program to your experience.

Where the class takes place

Ask for the exact beach, the nature of the water, the depth and the starting conditions. The school can be registered in the city, and teach on the other side. Ask what happens when the wind is in the wrong direction and if the emergency spot is on.

How salvation is organized

For each place, the scheme is different: a boat, observation from the shore, the return zone. Check who is watching the student and self-riders, what is included in the rescue, whether there are restrictions on time and water area.

What's included in the payment

Separately check equipment, protection, transfer, equipment insurance and weather cancellations. If you are already riding, request an introductory spot briefing and rental conditions. Dragon Kite links help you find contact, but they are not a substitute for an agreement with the school.

General guidelines do not replace training and local instruction. Sources: School sites that are linked to on spot pages.
