THE PROGRAM:
Kiteboarding and Kitesurfing Lessons in Seabrook NH
Kiteboarding and kitesurfing lessons are ON for the 2010 season. Intro lessons are offered the first and third Friday of each month, while water lessons are offered 7 days a week, usually on an east wind at Seabrook Beach, NH. If you are local to the area (60 mile radius), we can also run a sweet deal on any kiteboarding package purchased as part of a lesson program, just ask.
Stage 1: Kiteboarding Intro $79 Required for all future lessons, this class gets you started with the mountain of information you'll need to know about kiteboarding. This is a classroom based course combined with video tutorials. Building on a foundation of safety and common sense, this class will bring you up to speed with regards to setting up your kite, understanding the wind window, re-launch, board starts and kite control. All students are required to take a written test at the end of the class. Upon a passing grade, you will receive a coupon good towards 10% off any hardgood or kite purchase in the store. Intro classes are offered the first and third Friday of each month, held in our Seabrook NH store location.
Stage 2: Water Lessons $90 / hr (~2 hours total over two lessons) --> Review terminology, weather and location safety, wind window, proper setup of a 4-line kite, launching & landing, and then practice on a standard 4-line kite appropriate for your size. Tandem body dragging, Tandem water relaunch practice, Solo Body
Dragging, Upwind body dragging, Tandem Safety Release / Self Rescue
Stage 3: Water Starts & Coaching $150 / hr (~2 hours in 1 lesson) --> Land-based water start practice, water starts, board recovery, & plenty of coaching to master the right technique
Powerline Sports is unique in that we focus a good amount of time on Land lessons since mastering the kite is the hardest & most important aspect of this sport. We can get anyone to pop up on the board in a few hours but if you don't know how to properly fly the kite, it is a waste of time and extremely frustrating for you in a more stressful environment.
