PRIVAT KITE
#KITEUPYOURLIFE

Kitecamps in Portugal

We are a kiteschool with an unusual concept. We offer focused lessons at a fair price and let you become independent kitesurfers.

EQUIPMENT:
Next to towels, bikini or boardshorts our kitecamps are all inclusive. We found with ProLimit (wetsuits, etc.) and Eleveight Kites trustworthy partners for our school concept.

LESSONS:
We offer an intensive kitecamp, which will let you become autonomous kitesurfers. Our lessons include steering and controlling of the kite, as well as the know-how for all safety-related topics. You will share a kite in the so called buddy-system and therefore get the chance to learn in multiple ways or to relax a little from time to time. Our goal is to convey knowledge. Hence we put licenced kite-instructors right next to you.

Beginner

You've decided to become a kitesurfer and are looking for a good beginner kitecamp?
Which can be quite a difficult choice as there's as many as sand on the beach.
Why should you come to us?

So simple:

We are a yet young kiteschool with a new and free concept with the motto: “Living for the wind.”

We don't have fixed schedules and don't want to have them, simply because the wind doesn't work with a schedule either.
Despite that we're able to familiarize you with the most important basics.
In small groups of a maximum of 4 students we bring you safely and patiently closer to your goal.

Contents in the beginner kitecamps at Privat-Kite:

• Spotcheck: basic questions before entering the water
• Rigging and de-rigging: equipment-friendly rigging and de-rigging of your kites
• Kite-control: safely launching and landing, active and passive handling
• Bodydrags: controlled movement through the water with the kite, in almost any directions
