Group vs private

Why group kitesurfing lessons?

Group lessons are perfect for couples, friends or family members who want to learn together. Sessions stay intentionally small — a maximum of two students share one kite. We always recommend private if you want the fastest progress; group is the better share-the-experience option.

FAQ

Group lesson questions

Short answers here. The full guide is on our kitesurfing FAQ page.

Should I choose group or private lessons?

Group lessons are perfect for couples, friends or family members who want to learn together. Private lessons are entirely one-on-one. We always recommend private if you want to learn faster; choose group when you want to share the experience.

How many students share a kite?

Our group sessions are kept intentionally small — a maximum of two students share one kite with your instructor at all times.

How much do group lessons cost?

Group Kitesurf Course – Day 1 (4 hours) is R2,600 per person. The two-day Group Kitesurf Course – Day 2 (8 hours) is R5,000 per person. Extra hours are R625 per person per hour, booked on the day or by arrangement. Private options start at R3,400 for Private Kitesurf Course – Day 1.

What happens if there's no wind?

If conditions aren't suitable, we don't teach. We'll talk to you and recommend the best option: reschedule, a voucher or a refund. Flexibility is our priority because most of our clients are international.

What's the cancellation policy?

When wind conditions are good, bookings cancelled within 24 hours of the lesson are non-refundable. With 48 hours' notice, we can give you a full refund.

What language are lessons in? Do you teach children?

Most lessons are taught in English or German; we have a German-speaking instructor on the team. We teach children from the age of 10.

Yes. Book online and pay in full or a 50% deposit. Payments are taken in South African rand.
