Customer Reviews

This course is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It's a 'step by step' very thorough introduction to kiting, the rig , the set up and the safety . Knowledge that is essential for a quick progression into the sport of kiting. I feel that my overall understanding of kiting has been completely fulfilled. Now after watching this online course I have a great depth of understanding and I can revert back to segments in the tutorial to refresh my understandings of terms and equipment. This series is definitely recommended for anyone wanting to get into kiting and may not have the pool of local knowledge available to answer all those important questions. Super stoked to hit the beach and top it off this course is taught by top notch pro shredders! Hard to ask for a better introduction!

"Just bought the course. Your engaging and no-nonsense approach is refreshing and super effective. It's obvious that you do not only know how to do things, but you also have a self-reflecting attitude that is necessary for teaching. Kudos!"

Why learn to kite with Flukes Kitesurfing 

No matter how you get into the sport, we are stoked for you! Over the years, we have learned a few things about kiting, and we have been through the trial and error that comes with learning a new skill. Back when we learned to kite, there wasn't much online information available. We set out to change that and offer free videos to help others learn. 

We have done our best to provide as much value through free content to help you get there faster. By learning the correct way, you will have the skills to progress more quickly while also keeping yourself and other kiters safe. You can find all of our free videos in our free video section.

After receiving a lot of positive feedback, we developed our Beginner Learn to Kitesurf Course that suits people looking for the A-Z of learning to kite. Our courses let you learn much of the theory and knowledge of kiting so that next time you are down the beach, you'll know the best and correct way to do things. Flukes kitesurfing was built to demonstrate best practices and well-rounded information to give students confidence and understanding to help anticipate and react to the many situations the weather, water, and kite equipment can throw your way. Regardless of if you are here to simply watch free videos or want to dive into our courses, we are here to help!

Common questions 

Do you offer lessons?

Yes, in Canada, BC during the Canadian summer. Use our contact form for more details. 


Who does your online kite course suit?

The beginner course is perfectly suited to people who want to get all of the information theory and knowledge of kiting, before starting with lessons, or refresh knowledge after lessons. We have found people like to come back and revisit videos to refresh even months after learning to kite. The fact is, during lessons, things move fast, so these videos are the perfect accompaniment to learning to kite so that you have access to the resource when you need it.

What type of gear do you ride?

We are sponsored by and ride Ocean Rodeo kites, Ride Engine harnesses, we shape our own wave and strapless freestyle boards.

What is the best gear to buy as a beginner?

Choosing your gear to learn and progress your kiting will depend on several factors. Read our article here to find what is best for you.

I want to buy the course for a friend. Can I do that?

Yes the beginner course is a great gift for your friend or spouse that is getting ready to learn. Just let us know you are buying for a friend and we can set them up!

If I buy the course, will I still need lessons?

Yes, you should still get lessons. These videos are designed to provide a deeper understanding of kitesurfing to save you money doing lessons. (so you are not paying $100 an hour learning basic terminology, for instance) you will learn everything you need in the course, but it is not designed to completely substitute for a physical lesson. You should take the course, then book 3 hours of lessons, so you have an instructor to help guide you.
