KITESURF COURSES AT PKS

We’ve been teaching kite for 20 years and have an unbridled love for this sport.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to level up, you’re in the right school.

We have courses for everyone: beginners, intermediate riders, and advanced riders, with programs tailored to help you truly grow — in less time and with better results.

Our watchwords are safety and fun.

Because our goal isn’t just to teach you — it’s to pass on our passion for this sport and help you become independent as quickly as possible, to the point where you don’t need us anymore.

We know we’ll see you out on the water anyway!

EQUIPMENT INCLUDED

We give you everything you need to get out on the water: kite, bar, board, harness, wetsuit, helmet, vest… You just bring the drive to get out there and learn, we’ll take care of the rest.

SUPPORT BOAT

Taking a lesson with the support boat is a whole different story. Whatever the problem, we’re right there with you. And if you drift off course, we’ll come and pick you up. Handy, right?

BBTALKIN RADIO

This way, you stay in constant contact with your instructor throughout the lesson, so you’re followed closely and never miss a single tip.

PRICE LIST

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COURSES?

PRACTICE AND THEORY

The most complete course: for every hour of practice at sea, you also get an hour of theory on land.

First, we explain everything you need to know to ride in complete safety, and let you try the simulator to get the movements down to muscle memory. While you’re in the water, we film you, and we’ll review the footage together once you’re back on land. This way, you can see the mistakes you’re making and get corrected by your instructor. This, combined with theory and practice at sea, helps maximize your learning curve. And yes, the sooner you learn, the sooner you’re ready to fly!

ADVANCED

Perfect for raising the bar, this course is run in 2-hour sessions, giving us time to organize your progress in the best way possible.

We start with an initial briefing to assess your level and your goals.

During the lesson, the instructor films and photographs you, which will be reviewed at the end of the session. Screen in hand, the instructor will break down your mistakes and give you all the tips you need to improve your maneuvers and tricks.

If you want to try your first jumps, ride the surfboard, learn freestyle moves, kite foil, or nail some proper big loops, this is the course for you.

GROUP

1 instructor, maximum 4 students, and 1 kite setup shared between every 2 people.

Choose the group you like best: bring along your partner, friends, kids, parents, or even your mother-in-law. What matters is that you’re united by one thing: the desire to have fun.

PRACTICE

If you’ve already studied the theory on your own (watch out, we will quiz you!), you can choose the practice-only course. You’ll head straight out to sea with a dedicated instructor, plus all the equipment and safety measures you need to have fun and learn at your best.

SAFETY COURSE

We’ve put it last on the list, but safety comes first.

So without these fundamentals, we won’t even let you into the water.

In this course, you will learn:

* kite setup

* Beach kite launch

• Kite relaunch from the water

* Self rescue

* Self landing

Of course, these are all things we teach anyway to anyone starting from scratch with one of our courses. But if you already kite and don’t feel confident on these topics, this is one course you absolutely can’t miss.

HOW ARE THE LESSONS ORGANIZED?

We’re always here to teach you. The wind, sometimes, isn’t.

And, whether we like it or not, it’s the one calling the shots.

So, based on weather conditions, we plan the next day’s lessons at the end of each day. We check the latest forecast updates and send you a WhatsApp message (or give you a call) the evening before or the morning of, to confirm your booked lesson.

Once the course is finished, you’ll receive the IKO certification for the level you’ve reached. The certification will be registered online and sent to you by email in the weeks following the end of the course.

WHO TEACHES?

Our instructors are certified by IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) or FIV (Federazione Italiana Vela), but above all, they have something you can’t hang on a wall — passion that always makes the difference.

You’ll spot them right away — they’re the ones who explain everything, cheer you on, make you laugh, and, when the time comes, make you fly. Safely, of course!
