One of the most important things with learning to kitesurf is to just have fun with it. As long as you are enjoying yourself and asking the instructor what ever you are unsure with, everything else will come with a heap of practice. The instructor will make sure that everything needed to know about safety will be talked into your memory over and over again!!! So go have a ball! One of the bigger advantages that we have in Apollo Bay is the isolated beaches along the coast that are ideal for kitesurfing. Due to the growth in the sport, City beaches have become overcrowded, making it a lot harder to enjoy the times of learning and not be worried of other kite users. Another benefit of Wingsports is the access of a great big lake, making it almost workable in every wind direction. Although a short drive inland, it is absolutely ideal for beginners to advance in their board and kite skills. Below you will find a list and prices of lessons. Please be aware that 80% of lessons is kite skills only. The reason being that kite skills are by far the most important in training. Once mastered, board skills can then be tackled!

Please note that each person will progress differently. Lessons are not run on duration, they will conclude when the instructor is satisfied that the beginner is competent with the lessons criteria. |

Kitesurfing
is the new water sport craze! Now seen as the fastest growing sport in the
world, people are becoming more aware and involved in the sport that is so
easily addictive. As the sport grows, we need to be made more aware of safety
and hazards involved in kitesurfing. Due to a number of avoidable accidents and
poor attitudes kitesurfing is now governed and band at a number of beaches in
Australia and ROW, a large percentage associated with poor or in proper
training. We see this trend as one that we need to turn around so that we can
still have the freedom to enjoy the sport for as long as possible. To do this we
see an opportunity to promote the sport safely in our region, and to train new
comers with all the criteria needed to kitesurf safely and be aware of the
environments surroundings.
