Kite Foiling Lessons
Wanting to learn kite foiling, but just not too sure where to start? Here at Kiteboarding Cairns, we have been riding foil boards since the beginning. We have come up with a program using the latest user friendly equipment on the market.
Minimum level of kiteboarding
To get the most out of your kite foil lessons, we recommend that you are comfortable going upwind and can do small controlled jumps. Kite control can be one of the tricky parts of learning to kite foil.
What we provide
· Kites
· 3 stage mast foil boards
· Safety equipment
· Radio helmets
· We even get our small boat out from time to time for the first stages of learning.


About Kite foiling
Foiling is definitely the biggest thing happening in the kiteboard world at the moment. The feeling off effortlessly gliding across the water, with only the sound of the wind in your ears is like no other feeling any kiteboarder has ever experienced before. The initial stages can be a little challenging and take a bit of perseverance, but once up and riding, it is such a massive advantage to have. All of a sudden those days of rocking up to the beach and being disappointed because the wind is too light, are gone. You can foil in as little as 8 knots of wind, even with your 10m “go to” tube kite

Price: $240 per lesson
Students: 1 instructor 1 student

Perfect For Family and Friends

Our group lesson is for a minimum of 2 people. So if you have friends or family members that you want to learn to kite with, this could be a great option for you! This is a more affordable option for some people.


Located In The flat waters of Yorkeys Knob
Our group lessons are located in the flat waters of Yorkeys Knob . This is ultra flat water and perfect learning conditions for groups. This lesson gives you a great introduction to kitesurfing and will take you through half of the course.
Once you have done the first 3 hour lesson, you will be hooked and ready for the second lesson. This lesson can also be purchased for the second day, when you are ready to get on the board.
With our qualified instructors you will still learn the skills you need to know in the group setting. So come and give it a go with us at kiteboarding Cairns.

How Many Lessons Should I take
Everyone learns at their own pace. But here are Pacific Watersports, we recommend taking 3 lessons. For most people, 3 lessons is enough to get you independent. Once you are an independent kiteboarder, you will be able to go out and practice kiteboarding by yourself.
Becoming a competent kiteboarder takes time, and the journey is worth it. The key is patience and enjoying the journey. Here is a standard outline of what to expect from your first 3 lessons with us. Lesson 1
Lesson 1 is all about kite control. These kites are powerful, so it is important to gain the skills, so that you control the kite, instead of the kite controlling you. Location Analysis Wind Effects, direction and speed The Wind Window Kite Setup Emergency Release Basic Kite Piloting Skills Launching and landing the kite from the water Launching and landing the kite from the beach Emergency Self Landing on the Beach Simulated Self Rescue on the Beach Lesson 2 First Body Drag and Self Rescue Body Dragging Down wind directional body dragging directional body dragging using the board as a keel handling the board while holding the kite Retrieving the board from upwind using directional boy dragging Lesson 3 Water Start theory Using figure of 8 to generate power to get on the board First water start Riding downwind for 50 metres Riding while maintaining an edge Riding in both directions
This is a guide to the first 3 lessons and is by no means a hard and fast rule. Some people pick this up very quickly and can achieve everything in 2 lessons. Others may take more than 3 lessons. The main thing is enjoy the learning in a safe and fun way. ?
