Join Downhill Adventures for a lesson in the world’s fastest growing and most exciting adventure activity. We teach absolute beginners the basics of Kite surfing. Professional kite surfers will show you the way to handle the kite from the beach and then take you out into the water and give you individual training to make you confident in the water and prepare you for getting air high above the waves.

The kite surfing is usually done at Blouberg Dolphin Beach where the prevailing South Easter blows perfect winds to learn in. Our lessons are taught in 2 hour modules. We recommend 4 modules.


Module 1: Theory and kite set up, kite piloting, launching & landing. Body dragging.
Module 2: Getting into the water, getting ready, water starting. Steering the board. Going upwind.
Module 3: Jibing, Kite surfing in an under/over powered situation.
Module 4: Beach starting, Jumping, Tacking, Looping.
