We guarantee you and your friends will ‘feel the buzz’ as well as learning the basics of a new hobby. All Our lessons are taught by PKSA accredited instructors to ensure you have a safe time.

BUGGY
After mastering the basics of Powerkiting, Buggying allows you cruise along even in light winds. Once you have acquired the kite skills its time to get moving, slowly at first until your ready to push yourself as fast as you can handle!

KITESURFING
