Are you ready to embrace the thrill of kite skiing? Ride the wind, not the lifts, with our Beginner Kite Skiing/Snow Kiting Clinic at Hardwater Kiting. The three hour beginner clinic is the most important level of instruction as it covers the fundamentals that you will build on every single time you ride. You will learn critical basic kite skills and knowledge needed before you start moving on your skis or board. Learn to fly depowerable 4-line kites as we cover essential topics like site assesment, general kite selection, setup, safety systems, and flying techniques. You'll get hands on experience that will be critical in ensuring a safe and exciting entry into the world of kite skiing.
NOTE: Though the Beginner Course is intended primarily as ground school with a focus on learning the basics of safe kite flying if you are a fast learner and time and conditions allow, we often get you some time moving on skis under kite power. All kiting equipment is provided, just bring your skis/boards, boots and helmet.
Beginner Coaching 3hrs.
*As each lesson description states YOU MUST BE AT LEAST AN INTERMEDIATE SKIER OR BOARDER. Ski/board instruction is not within the scope of our lessons and basic knowledge of how to edge a ski or board is critical to your success. Any time I spend instructing ski/snowboarding is time that is taken away from your kite instruction. There are many ski schools in the Mount Washington Valley that can get you up to speed on the skiing skills required to effectively learn to snowkite.
