Kiteboarding
Lessons
Kiteboarding
is one of the newest sports to hit the water scene. We teach the sport
on the uncrowded beaches of lower Cape Cod. Our beaches are some of
the best beaches to learn on in New England.
Pick
up any kiteboarding magazine and all will heavily advise lessons when
it comes to learning the sport. Although not terribly difficult, there
is a learning curve and a thorough lesson will only enhance your experience.
You will be much less discouraged and will probably continue to pursue
the sport.
Little
Overhead Surf and Kiteboard Shop is owned by Sebastian Frawley, a kiteboarder
and surfer himself. He is PASA (Professional Air Sports Association)
certified and requires all of his instructors to be certified as well.
He is fully experienced and augments this by continually observing how
other teachers teach. As a matter of fact, he sacrificed a winter in
Miami (!!!!) to learn other methods of teaching and learning. This is
instrumental in providing you with the best methods of teaching to make
your experience the safest and best it can be.
We
get you WET on your first lesson, something a lot of instructors are
unable to confidently do. This means no more wasting expensive lesson
time learning on kites you don't actually use kiteboarding. Also during
your first lesson you learn all about the equipment and how to properly
use it and care for it. You will also learn self rescue, launching,
landing, staying up wind and body dragging. These are all the essentials
for a safe and enjoyable kiteboarding career.
A
second lesson is highly recommended to round out your experience. You
are taught how to stay up wind, how to control your speed, and experience
a lot of board time. Hopefully you will be getting air by the end of
this lesson. If not you will have the skills needed to successfully
accomplish this on your own.
Please
call the store directly to book your lesson. Kiteboarding is dependent
on wind and weather conditions so a direct phone call is the easiest
way to determine the best time for a lesson.
Significant
discounts on equipment and packages are available for kiteboarding students
of Little Overhead. Also, we will also partially or fully credit you
for your lesson based on the amount of kiteboarding equipment you purchase
from us..
