The Experience
With this six-hour kitesurfing package on Achill Island, you'll take part in two three-hour lessons at Keel Lake. The extra session gives you time to build on what you've learned and become more comfortable handling a kite.
Your instructor will work with you according to your experience. If you're starting from scratch, you'll learn the fundamentals of kite control before moving on to further exercises as your confidence develops. If you've already tried kitesurfing, the lessons can focus on practising your technique and improving your skills on the water.
Each lesson takes place in a small group, with a maximum of four participants per instructor. All the necessary equipment is provided, and you'll have time between sessions to reflect on what you've learned before returning for your next lesson.
