Advanced courses
foil and strapless boardNowadays kitesurfing gives you plenty of opportunities. Here at FlaminGokite we can teach you two of them - using foil and surf/strapless boards. It’s a very different sensation from the twin tip board and you can use all kinds of wind conditions. It’s going to help you master your overall kitesurfing skills.
Strapless courses
Kitesurfing with a strapless board will give you the feeling of a good powder day in the snowy mountains. You can just go cruising in the water, go for a wave session, or do freestyle tricks. We start with the basics of the waterstart and build up to jibes, tacks, and wave riding. It’s entirely up to you what exactly you want to learn. Progression is fast and you can independently practice what you’ve learned in the course.
Foil courses
Hydrofoiling might seem very difficult but it’s actually not. The best part is you can use really light wind conditions. Following the right steps with the proper equipment is going to help you learn fast and safely. Our Cabrinha Double Agent foil board is equipped with three different masts (short, medium, and long). We start with the short and progress from there. Expect to fall a lot in the beginning, but once you master staying on the foil, you’ll finally feel the magic!
