No waiting for a turn on the kite. Private vs group ## Why private kitesurfing lessons? With private lessons, every minute of your session is dedicated entirely to you. We always recommend private, because you'll learn faster. Group is great if you want to share the experience with a friend or partner. | | Private (this page) | Group | |---|---|---| | Ratio | 1 instructor, 1 student | Max 2 students share one kite | | Session length | 3 h per day | 4 h per day | | From | R3,400 (Day 1) | R2,600 pp (Group Day 1) | | Who it suits | Fastest progress, limited time | Couples, friends, family booking together | [See group lessons](https://constantlykiting.com/pages/beginner-lessons#group-courses) Good to know ## What's included and what to bring ### Included in every private course - Your own qualified instructor, 1-on-1 - Modern beginner kite & control bar with quick-release - Harness, helmet, buoyancy / impact vest - Wetsuit and a beginner board - Radio comms for live coaching on the water - Rescue boat on the water for extra safety - Insured lessons ### What to bring - Swimwear - A towel - Sunscreen - Drinking water - A hat for time on the beach - Sunglasses with a retaining strap - Your own travel insurance (recommended) ![Shower and secure storage facilities at the Constantly Kiting school in Langebaan](https://constantlykiting.com/admin/assets/uploads/2026/11/ckp-facilities.jpg) **Shower & storage on site** Change, shower and lock your things away before and after your session. Safety & instructors ## Learn with confidence We've been teaching on Langebaan Lagoon since 2007.

They provide all the equipment and excellent safety briefings, which really builds confidence on the water.” HS **Harvey Scriven** Feb 10, 2026 Google FAQ ## Private lesson questions Short answers here. The full guide is on our [kitesurfing FAQ page](https://constantlykiting.com/pages/faqs-about-learning-to-kitesurf). Which private course should I book? We recommend that everyone takes a two-day course. For a complete beginner that is roughly six hours on the water (Private Kitesurf Course – Day 2). If you just want to try it, start with 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. Do I need to be fit or strong? No. Modern equipment is designed so that the harness carries most of the kite's power, so you focus on balance, timing and technique. 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. Can I book and pay from overseas? Yes. Book online and pay in full or a 50% deposit. Payments are taken in South African rand. Where do we meet? Your booking confirmation tells you exactly where to go. We're based at 1 St Croix Close, Langebaan, Western Cape, 7357, about 100–120 km from Cape Town. ![Kitesurfer riding on Langebaan Lagoon](https://constantlykiting.com/admin/assets/uploads/2026/11/ckp-cta-band.jpg) ## Ready for your first ride?
