Learning to Kitesurf with X-Train at West Wittering Windsurf Club
Kitesurfing is a relatively new sport, compared to windsurfing. The learning curve is not as steep and the basic skills (kiting in both directions) of kitesurfing are within reach of most people within 2-3 days of trying the sport.
West Wittering is an ideal location to learn this fantastic sport. The flat-water, low tide lagoons offer a great introduction with clean, coastal winds and bump-free water. For more details on the conditions found at West Wittering, please see the sailing and kiting conditions page.
X-Train offer a number of courses to help beginners, intermediates and advanced kitesurfers to improve their game.
- The 2 day learn to kitesurf course is a complete introduction to the sport of kitesurfing and is the best starting point for a complete beginner. You will get more out of this course if you have the basic skills of flying a 2-line power kite. (Check out the learn to powerkite course)
- The improver windsurfing course is ideal for those who have completed a learn to kitesurf course and would like some extra help with board starts and kiting upwind.
- For private 1:1 courses, you can either use your own gear or our top-end rental equipment. 1:1 courses are ideal for those that are stuck on a particular manoeuvre. If you are looking for an introduction to the sport, it really helps to be part of a group, so we would highly reccomend the 2 day learn to kitesurf course.
- The advanced kitesurfing clinics and pro clinics are the way to go for more advanced kitesurfers. These courses tend to focus on a particular advanced move or skill. They both include professional video coaching.
