taking the next step together

Already riding on your own and ready for the next step? In Level 4 – kitesurfing on flat water – you’ll work on more control, stronger upwind riding, smooth transitions, and your very first tricks. On a spot with steady wind and perfectly flat water, you’ll progress faster and build more confidence, taking your kitesurf skills to the next level.

< Level 3 – Waterstart | Level 5 – Independent on the Sea >

When are you at this level?

You’re at Level 4 – Flat Water when you’ve mastered the basics of kitesurfing and are ready for the next step. That means you:

  • Can independently launch and land with the help of others.
  • Ride in both directions and hold a steady upwind line.
  • Can safely stop and relaunch your kite from the water.
  • Are practicing transitions and starting to make your first little jumps.
  • Are ready to build more confidence, control, and learn new tricks on flat water.

What will you learn?
And what do your sessions look like?

During Level 4 sessions you’ll be kiting mostly on your own, clocking plenty of hours on the water. Every now and then we’ll dive into group theory, and you’ll get 1-on-1 coaching for specific tricks. Sometimes we use a helmet with radio connection for real-time tips, or video analysis to clearly track your progress. But the most important ingredient is this: we’ll safely push you out of your comfort zone with confidence – so you’ll learn new tricks faster and keep leveling up your kitesurf skills.

Where’s the focus
hit the water with confidence

The focus of Level 4 is practicing with confidence and learning how to fall safely, so you’ll have no doubts when it comes to taking the next step. You’ll get trick clinics, group theory sessions, and we’ll analyze your rides together to improve your technique. On top of that, you’ll expand your overall kite knowledge – and maybe even join a downwinder. There’s plenty to learn, and our goal is simple: to make you a stronger, more confident kiter in every way.
