There’s a lot of great things to do in Melbourne but kitesurfing on St Kilda beach has to be one of the most exhilarating. First, you’ll learn how to pilot the kite as controlling your kite is about 80% of kiteboarding. This important step will help you develop your kite skills and give you a better understanding of the wind, power zones, safety and the kiteboarding equipment itself so that you can use it to your best advantage. This hands-on class takes place on the beach so that after the first part is done, you can test your skills in the water. You’ll learn techniques including powered body drags, how to relaunch your kite and also how to get to safety. By the end of the two-hour lesson, you’ll be ready to experience the power and the thrill of kiteboarding in water.
