Intermediate Lessons

These lessons are designed to take you from riding to ripping! As nearly all courses are one-on-one private coaching, you are able to custom design what you want to work on, but here are a few ideas to get you going. The only course that is not one-on-one private coaching is the Group Downwinder.

Unless otherwise specified, all courses are 2 hours, private coaching for $220 or buy 6 hours for $580. Email or call (650) 218-6023.

Board Skills: Edge/Power Control 

This course is ideal for those who just want more time riding. We will work on kite and board control to manage speed. 

Board Skills: Transitions/Jibbing

If you are up and ridding both directions, but haven't been able to combine the two this is the course for you. Your instructor will cover multiple techniques for jibbing, including, toe side transitions. This course is a great opportunity for riders wanting to learn to ride directional (surf) boards.

Board Skills: Upwind

The holy grail for new riders...the art of staying upwind. This course covers the fine points of working your way upwind; board control/edging, kite techniques, proper sheeting, and smooth transitions.

Beach Launch: With PWC Support - 3 hours, $300

The beach can be an intimidating place - hazards such as rocks, right-of-way rules with other riders, launching and landing off the shore...it can be intense. For this reason, this is one of our favorite lessons. Taught at 3rd Avenue Beach, our expert instructor will assistance you through the full process of rigging, launching, riding and coming back to the beach (using a self rescue in the water.) 

Beach Launch: Instructor Rides - 3 hours, $250

This is a great course for those comfortable riding both directions and body dragging back to their board. During this lessons the instructor and student will both rig kites, launch together, and play a "follow-the-leader" as the instructor guides you upwind, through rider traffic and eventually back to the beach for an in-the-water selfrescue. This is one of our instructors favorite courses. :)
