Kitesurfing and wingfoil are 100% dependent on wind and weather conditions. We only teach when conditions are safe and suitable for learning.

The wind cannot be too weak, too strong, too gusty or come from the wrong direction. We always adapt the lesson according to wind, temperature, water conditions and safety.

This means you cannot always expect your lesson to run exactly on the first booked date. The more flexible you are with dates, the easier it is for us to find the right conditions.

Beginner course is perfect if you want to try kitesurfing and learn the basics safely.

Complete kitesurf course gives you more time on the water, better progression and more repetition.

Kitesurf Max Course is our most complete setup for students who want to progress quickly.

Refresh, extra lesson day or private coaching is ideal if you already have experience and want to improve further.

This is one of the most common questions we receive, but the truth is that progress is highly individual.

Wind conditions, weather, water confidence, coordination, previous board sports experience, and how comfortable you feel with the kite all affect how quickly you progress.

Some students make their first water starts during the course, while others need more time to build confidence with kite control and safety procedures. A two-day course generally provides better opportunities for repetition and progression, but we can never guarantee that everyone will reach the same level within the same amount of time. The three-day course will give you more time with kite and practice in the water.

Our goal is not to rush the learning process, but to give you the right knowledge, strong safety habits, and the best possible foundation to continue progressing after the course.

Our beginner lessons are normally held with maximum 2 students per instructor/equipment. This gives plenty of practice time and personal coaching. If you book alone we will try to match you with another student at a similar level.

We run lessons every day of the week when wind and weather conditions allow it.

Summer season: normally April–November.

Snowkite season: normally December–March if snow, ice and wind conditions are safe.

Shop: Rålambsvägen 65, Stockholm.

Our lessons are not held at the shop itself but at the beach that works best for the current wind direction and safety conditions.

Common lesson locations are Dalarö, Gålö, Studsvik and Ekerö. On Gotland we may teach at Gnisvärd, Kovik, Tjurudden, Nisseviken or Lausviken.

We analyze forecasts from several weather services including SMHI, YR, Windy and Windfinder. We look at wind strength, direction, quality and forecast stability.

The day before your lesson , between 12.00 – 17.00 in the afternoon, you will receive an email with meeting point, time, directions and what to bring.

Sometimes forecasts change quickly. If the conditions are not good enough we will reschedule your lesson free of charge.

You will normally need access to a car to reach the lesson location. Some spots can be reached by public transport, such as Dalarö, but a car is usually easiest. If needed we can sometimes help coordinate carpooling with other students, and you share gasoline, or our instructors. Service fee: 200 SEK.
