The activity

Kitesurfing & Windsurfing, explained

Kitesurfing means riding a small board across the water while a large kite, held on lines and a harness, pulls you along using the wind. Beginners never start on the board: first lessons cover kite theory, safety steps, launching and landing the kite on the beach, and then 'body dragging', where the kite pulls you through the water without a board. Only after that do riders try standing up. It builds balance, core strength, reading of wind and weather, and a lot of confidence in the sea. Because the kite pulls hard, schools usually set a minimum age for kids and teens, and the sport suits confident swimmers.

Who it's for

Kitesurfing lessons: kids 13 years and above, plus adults. SUP lessons are aimed at first-timers and self-taught paddlers; no minimum age is published, so ask the provider for younger children. Kids kayaks and family kayaks are available to rent. Birthday parties are tailored to the number and ages of the kids. Past holiday camps were for ages 5-14 (October 2023 dates; ask whether a camp is running this season).

What to expect

A first kitesurfing lesson (the 'Kite Taster') is 2 hours one-to-one or 3 hours for a pair, with kitesurfing gear included. It covers kite theory, the three safety steps, the wind window, launching and landing the kite, and body dragging in the water depending on progress. A first SUP lesson runs about an hour and covers water safety, reading the weather, self-rescue, launching, standing up and paddle strokes. At Nessnass an 'express' option pairs a 20-minute lesson with 40 minutes of rental. No free trial is published. Ask the provider about what to bring and the minimum swimming level.
