How Many Days To Learn Kitesurfing?

The learning time for kitesurfing varies greatly and depends on individual factors, such as personal approach, type of lesson, and instructor’s approach. On average, it takes around 12 hours for beginners, but it can vary between 8 to 16 hours depending on the conditions during the learning process.

To learn kitesurfing, follow these steps: 1) Learn the theory of wind, kitesurfing gear, and safety – 1 week to 1 month; 2) Practice with a trainer kite for kitesurfers – 1 to 2 weeks.

The number of lessons needed depends on the individual’s level of experience and skill level. For beginners, it may take 6 to 12 hours to learn the basics of kitesurfing, which can be taught in two to three days. Schools often teach lessons in two to three-hour blocks.

For those who want to stay upwind, it should take 15 to 20 hours to learn kitesurf, including instructor training. It takes about 5 lessons, each about 2 hours long, so at least 10 full hours to get the hang of the sport.

In general, kitesurfing lessons are structured to take you from a complete beginner to a competent kitesurfer over several days or weeks. The first course typically lasts 3 days, 4 hours per day, and should see you up and riding with confidence. After that, you need to practice as much as possible to consolidate your skills.
