What we care about
Safety first
The school runs its own rescue service. Instructors assess conditions on the water and the snow themselves, and lessons are covered by radio contact and equipment insurance.
Certified instructors
Kitesurfing is taught to the international IKO standard. Our instructors are qualified professionals with years of experience on the water.
Care for the student
We build long relationships: what matters is that you fall in love with the sport and come back. We adapt the pace of a course to the person, not the other way round.
A warm atmosphere
We're a team of like-minded people that has been growing since 2016. Hard training, mutual support and a good mood on the beach.
