Introduction
I am a freelance power kite & buggy instructor based in the North West of England, ideally situated with excellent venues for all power kiting activities on our doorstep, and some of the best kiting beaches just an hour away.
On a course tailored to suit your needs you can experience all aspects of Power Kiting
all year round.
Courses cover all you need to know to get you flying solo including kite set up, safety checks,
flying skills and equipment choice.
Once your lesson is booked, We will confirm the venue and times with you a couple of days before
due to changing weather and wind directions.
Safety
Power kiting is an extreme outdoor sport and as such I can provide all the relevant safety equipment.
You will need to bring the following :-
- Warm clothing
- Eye protection(sunglasses/goggles)
- Sensible footwear (footwear with ankle support)
- High factor sunscreen (spring to autumn)
- Something to drink (warm or cold)
I also advise that you think carefully about and personal items and jewellery, only bring what you need.
