About

Power Kiting is a really fun outdoor sport great for all ages. You may have seen people on beaches and hill sides flying stunt kites and no doubt hear them buzzing around the sky, great fun but definitely with no control. Power kiting is a lot more fun and based on a more technical foil kite (as in the picture) that are safer to fly and can generate a surprising amount of power.

Our Power kite lessons will teach you everything from the absolute fundamentals such as pre- flight assessment and how to set up your kite to flying your kite completely in control. By the end of your lesson you will be amazed at how much power you can actually use and, as many of our students have found, has been the gateway to other extreme sports such as Kitesurfing, Kite buggying, Land boarding and Snow kiting.

Foil kites vary in size and power so are an ideal out door “toy” for all ages especially for families as really encourages coordination and communication skills for the younger persons.
