How it works
The duration of your kitesurf course will depend a bit on the instructor to student ratio, and the conditions. The beginner course is normally 3 to 4 days with a 3-hour session each day. If the budget allows and you really want to 'nail it' then private lessons are the way to go. Group lessons often mean sharing equipment and so they are far less intensive. However, group lesson are a lot of fun and very sociable. It is also good to watch other practice as you will learn a lot form watching as well.
If the conditions are easy (for example a shallow flat water lagoon, which is perfect) at the end of a 9-12 hour course you should be just about on the board and perhaps doing short runs, normally followed by some spectacular face plants! At this stage the instructor will make some recommendations on how to proceed; maybe some more instruction is needed, or if you have done well, supervised rental to practice. This will also vert much depend on the location, always putting safety first.
