4 Day Kite Course — Zero to Riding

The kite lagoons of Paje are famous worldwide for their beginner-friendly conditions — flat water, steady wind, and space to learn. This is the course that gets you hooked on kitesurfing, from your very first trainer kite to your first rides on the board.

✅ No experience needed. Join our experienced instructor team and progress with us in paradise, one day at a time.

Semi-private, 2 students sharing. A more social, more affordable way to learn — with an instructor and equipment shared between just two of you. Booking solo? No problem – if we can’t match you with another student, your course is automatically upgraded to private tuition (6.5 hours total) at no extra cost.

Your 4 Day Progression

Day 1 — Kite Control
Start with a small trainer kite on the beach, learning to read the wind and control the power zone. Then move up to the full-size inflatable kite – gear setup, safety systems, and your first time flying it standing in shallow water. Naturally talented? Your instructor might take you into body dragging early – but most students save that for day two.

Day 2 — Body Dragging
Now you’ll feel the kite’s real power. You’ll learn to body drag both downwind and upwind, no board – just you and the kite pulling you through the water. Upwind dragging is the trickier of the two, but it’s a crucial skill for getting back to your board later on.

Day 3 — On the Board
With your flying and body dragging dialled in, it’s time for the board. This is where it starts clicking – everyone progresses at their own pace from here, and that’s completely normal.

Day 4 — Riding
Keep building on the board, chasing longer rides and more control. Getting from first-standing to consistent riding can take anywhere from a day to a week – genuinely different for everyone, and that’s exactly why the course gives you 4 full days to get there.
