The activity

Kitesurfing & Windsurfing, explained

Kitesurfing and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) are two ways into watersports on Dubai's coast. A kitesurfing beginner starts on land with a small trainer kite, learning how the kite responds to the wind and how to set it up safely, before moving into the water with an instructor. From there, lessons build towards body-dragging, water starts and finally riding the board. SUP is gentler: standing on a large board and paddling, which trains balance and water confidence. Both build core strength and coordination, and both depend on the weather - kite lessons need the right wind. Dukite's own taster course, the Kite Surf Discovery Course, is listed for ages 8 and above.

Who it's for

The Kite Surf Discovery Course is listed as good for ages 8 and above. The other kitesurfing and SUP lessons don't state an age, so ask the provider for younger children or teens. The private kite lesson is aimed at people with some experience or a board-sports background, and the Full Kite Boarding Course is for groups of 2-3 friends, couples or family members.

What to expect

A first taste is the 45-minute Kite Surf Discovery Course: trainer-kite flying, basic kite set-up and a kite theory briefing, as a preview of a full course. Group kitesurfing lessons are one hour with one instructor to two students, and all equipment is included. Dukite can call off a lesson if the wind is hazardous or too light. Lessons can be cancelled or rescheduled free of charge up to 48 hours ahead. What to bring and the lesson beach aren't published - ask the provider.
