Introduction To Powerkiting For Two
Come and join the experts and learn the techniques to help introduce you to an addictive and exciting sport. With the introduction there is a half hour of class based theory to discuss and explain the basics of launching your kite and controlling it once in the air - vital for novices, towards whom this experience is geared and also helpful as the same rules can apply to the skills used for land boarding, kite surfing and kite buggying. The real fun begins with your practical session under expert tuition, so put what you have learned into practise and watch your kite lift up and away over Devils Dyke.
