Hydra Power Kite Lessons

This lesson is great for beginners looking to get into the sport of power kiting. This is not a kiteboarding lesson, however it does provide a great foundation for kite traction sports including landboarding, kite buggying, snowkiting and kiteboarding.

Learn how to properly set up and configure the kite and the basic principles behind flight and a powerkite. You will learn sail anchoring techniques for self-launching the kite. During the lesson you will also be learning how to reverse launch the kite and properly land the kite when finished flying.

The hydra power kite lesson also focuses on proper techniques to generate the most power while focusing on the basic principals of the wind window.

Lessons are taught on water in the sound of the Outer Banks at Windmill Point in Nags Head (MP 15.5). Participants should wear swimsuits for the the lessons. Bathrooms are available on site.

Extremely stable and easy to fly, this closed cell ram–air foil has no bladders to inflate or replace, yet it floats on water.
