Kitesurfing for children

Without a doubt, we can call ourselves pioneers in teaching the youngest. We started teaching 9-10 year olds back in 2009, when the recommended minimum weight of a student was 40-45kg (and ours was 30kg).

We boast such a student from those days:

At what age can children start learning to kitesurf?

The youngest, Baka, was just under 8 years old. 9-10 year olds come to us on a daily basis. a 12-year-old is already an old horse;)

However, it should be taken into account that a lot depends on the child. Above all, he or she must want to, be able to concentrate and listen attentively to the instructor. Sometimes it is better to wait a year or two:)

What makes this possible?

We have acquired equipment that allows children weighing up to 27-30kg to learn safely and effectively. These are kites with a special design so that the youngest are able to control them.

Are the girls doing well too?

Of course, kitesurfing is a technical sport, not a strength sport. Take a look

Kacper only took his first steps with us. He lives in Asia by day, so he has been swimming mainly in the Philippines for the past few years. However, we are proud to have contributed to this success many years ago 🙂
