Floras Lake Windsurfing ~ Kite Lessons

Kiteboarding is one of the fastest growing
sports around. Though easy to learn for some, it can be dangerous, as well. No matter what your prior experience is in any other water sport, kiting is very different! Because of these and other factors, it is extremely important to get yourself started with some quality kite instruction.

Will has been kiteboarding on Floras Lake and the southern Oregon coast for the past 10 years. His 30 years experience of windsurfing instruction now also includes 8 years of kiteboarding instruction.

Beginners get started flying a trainer kite on dry land to get the feel of flying and controlling the kite. From there, students learn to fly the kite in the water without a board, or "body-dragging". Once ready, the next step is getting on a board. There are several types of lessons available, depending on time you have available and/or prior kiteboarding experience.
