The first question of parents: kite for the kid from what age?
We think the minimum age is 12 years old to learn kitesurf. At this age, children focus their attention better and longer, understand the danger, and are already physically stronger. If your child is old enough before signing him for a kite course, be sure that he has great confidence swimming in open water. Of course, all kite lessons for kids are held with special equipment. We have the necessary kites, boards, harnesses, wetsuits for children. We choose best wind condition(usually in the morning when the wind is not strong). In case of strong wind, the lesson will be canceled for the safety of the child.
