1. What types of coaching do you offer?
We offer kitesurfing coaching sessions focused on:
- Level 1 - Freeride : Refine your fundamentals and explore new territory—pop, toeside, blind, slides, foil, strapless—as each approach expands your repertoire, helping you gain style and fluidity, whether you’re aiming for big jumps or a freer ride.
- Level 2 - Old School : Build up speed and height, then expand your repertoire with rotations, grabs, one-footers, and board-offs—maneuvers that require greater commitment and prepare you for the transition to Big Air.
- Level 3 - Big Air : Unleash your potential! Master the preload pop, incorporate loops into your tricks, explore new rotation variations, and pilot your kite in high-wind conditions. A playground for adrenaline junkies.

11. Is coaching available if I don't know how to jump yet?
The minimum level required to start is the ability to ride upwind and do transitions—there is no need to be able to jump yet. Jumping and tricks are learned subsequently, as you progress from Level 1 (Freeride) to Level 3 (Big Air).
12. Is freeride coaching suitable if I don't want to do aerial tricks?
Yes. Beyond jumping, kitesurfing offers a whole world to explore—such as foiling, strapless riding, and numerous maneuvers like toeside, blind, or slides—that don't require any jumping. Coaching is tailored to your specific goals, not just progression toward Big Air.
13. How long does it take to go from the Freeride level to the Big Air level?
There is no fixed timeframe—it depends on the individual student: their practice frequency, natural rate of progress, and willingness to take technical risks. Some progress quickly with dedication, while others prefer to consolidate each stage before moving forward.
