During the course, you will be guided by instructors certified by the IKO (International Kitesurfing Organisation), a global leader in kitesurfing instruction, ensuring a professional, safe, and effective experience.
Over the course of the 2 days, you will progress from beginner to intermediate level, following a structured, level-based methodology with a complete focus on your development and enjoyment.

We will meet in Rio de Janeiro and head to the Lake District, where the course will take place.
Over the course of 2 days:
