How the levels work
Which course do I need?
We teach the VDWS syllabus, which runs from Level 1 to Level 7. Each course picks up exactly where the last one finished, so nothing is repeated and nothing is skipped.

Before you book
Course questions
I have never kitesurfed. Where do I start?
Start with the Beginner Kite Intro — three hours covering kite control, safety systems and equipment setup, with no board involved. Almost everyone then continues into the Level 2 & 3 course, which is where body dragging and your first rides on the board happen. The minimum age is 8.
How many students are in a course?
Courses run in a semi-private format with a maximum of two students per instructor. That means real coaching time rather than watching from the beach. If you want one-to-one attention throughout, ask about private sessions when you book.
How long does it take to learn to kitesurf?
Most people get their first rides within about 6 to 10 hours of lessons spread over several days, and reach independent upwind riding somewhere between 12 and 20 hours. It depends heavily on wind consistency, water confidence and how often you get out. Hurghada’s shallow flat water is one of the fastest places to learn.
Is equipment included in the courses?
Yes. Every course includes the kite, board, harness, helmet and water booties, plus full insurance on the kite equipment. You only need swimwear, a towel and sun protection. The Day Use programme is the exception — it is for riders bringing their own gear, though you can add a rental.
Which certification do you teach to?
We teach to VDWS standards and issue VDWS certification — the Association of German Watersports Schools. VDWS levels run 1 to 7, and our course names map directly onto them, so a card issued here is recognised at schools across Europe and beyond.
