There is one course for kids 7-9 years old. It has playful moments like flying a trainer kite on land. For courses in the water, the child must be at least 9 years old.
Young kiters
Young Kiters is our youth course where we have much more practical and technical exercises in the water. The teenagers are the future pros, give them the right start with safety and technique and its possible to go far! The courses are given to teenagers between the ages of 13 – 17 and are more intensive than the children’s courses.

Basic safety intro and flying trainer kite on land, then we spend some time in the water with custom kite sizes. The course is easy-going and playful and is divided into 2 lessons in 1.5 hours.
