Why go private
Why choose private over group lessons
In a group lesson, your instructor is watching two or three riders at once. In a private lesson, they're watching you. That difference shows up directly in how fast you progress: private students typically reach independent riding in 9 to 12 hours, because every minute of instruction corrects what you specifically need to fix next, not the average of the group.
- One instructor, one student, every session
- Walkie-talkie coaching while you're on the water
- Pace set by your progress, not the group's
- Rescue boat watching every lesson

Private Lessons FAQ
Questions before you book
How is a private lesson different from a package?
Private lessons are booked hour by hour with no accommodation attached. Packages bundle lessons with a room, meals, and boat transfers for a set number of nights: see the kite surf and stay packages.
Can I switch from group to private mid-course?
Yes, subject to instructor availability. See the lesson price table for the difference in rate.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. Duotone kites, boards, bars and harnesses are included in every private lesson.
How long is the standard beginner course?
The standard private course is 9 hours, taking most complete beginners through IKO Levels 1 to 3. See the beginner kitesurf course page for the full breakdown.
