Private soft kite lessons are for everyone with previous knowledge of flying tube kites. Your instructor will give you an introduction into the handling of soft kites, their differences and trimming possibilities. You can choose to learn things like launching and landing procedures or special situations during the course.
The courses take place daily and last a maximum of 4 hours. The course can take place on land, in water or mixed. The soft kite private course on the water is one-on-one instruction with radio contact to the instructor. You receive direct input and can give your own feedback at any time. You are in contact with the instructor throughout the course and are accompanied by him. The instructor helps you to get in and out of the water as well as to launch and land.
Setup and pack down, launching and landing, sorting bridles are possible topics of this individual course. Terms like stall, drag, inflow, drift and invert will be familiar to you and you will be able to handle the kites independently.
To learn to fly soft kites in this course you should have experience with tube kiting. Otherwise it is better to book a normal beginner course or private lessons.
