Safety while on your kitesurfing lessons.

Kitesurfing is an extreme sport, with many important components to learn of, before you attempt anything independently.

This is why we always recommend taking kitesurfing lessons from an experienced & certified kitesurfing school. Why? Simple, because it’s a thousand times safer. The same way you’d always take driving lessons before driving a car, well, it’s no different here. Kitesurfing requires you to learn everything step-by-step. Once you have familiarized yourself with the control system of kiting, your overall skills will improve dramatically. Things such as confidence will naturally increase overtime. The longer you have that kite in the sky, the more confidence you’ll gain! By taking kitesurfing lessons you’ll not only ensure your safety by 1000x, but you’ll ensure the safety of other beach goers too. We don’t employ the most experienced kitesurf instructors for no reason. They are there to guide you through the whole learning process of becoming a kite surfer. If you are interested in educating yourself more on the theory of kitesurfing before you take your lessons, Progression is a good place to start!

The famous wind in Cape Town.

In the summer months from November – April, a trade wind known by the locals as the Cape Doctor, rushes in from the South East. While many of the locals are usually annoyed by the appearance of this south easterly trade wind, it is the kite surfers signal to grab their gear and head to the nearest beach! If you are interested in learning more on kitesurfing, Wikipedia , Virgin & Red Bull are three great sources.

Getting Certified after your kitesurfing lessons.

After completing any of our kitesurfing lessons, you will receive a unique IKO certification card. This card is paramount to your progression in the sport. IKO (International Kitesurfing Organization) is the largest kitesurfing body in the world, and their certifications are recognized worldwide.  With this certification card, you can rent kitesurfing gear all over the world. The card acts as a sort of license which shows your kiting level on the back. You will cover the following on your first kitesurfing lesson, the level is referenced as: Level 1A – 1E Level 1A S.E.A.
