Use of appropriate Kite Equipment and sailing-game approach

Our Kite School, the Punta Trettu Kite Center Sardinia has adopted appropriate kite material and techniques for the young kiters: from the choice of the best weather conditions, to the use of the right kite equipment to the methodologies, everything is adapted to let the young students learning fast with safety and happyness.

Kite Equipment for Teaching the Children

The Children Kite Course is carried out using an appropriate kitesurf equipment (such as wetsuits, harness, kites, etc)suitable for the age and weight of the child and with the sailing-game approach.

The kites used for the Kite course for children are particular kites that generate less power than a normal kite, that will allow to discover the traction of the kite in a completely safety and that will allow a 100% de-powering as soon as the bar is left. In addition, when required, short lines, to redduce the wind window (decreasing consequently the pulling of the kite). Finally big boards will be used to make easier the first waterstarts.

The Methodologies and the Sailing-Game Approach used for Teaching the Children

Children need a specific teaching methodology. Keeping in mind that, for a child, it is hard to maintain a high level of attention for a long time, the kite lessons for kids are running with the sailing-game approch. With this approach the children and young people will learn kitesurfing with practice, in an almost playful way, and also what should be learned in theoretical way become a game.

Also the approach of the instructor will change according to the children. Our kitesurfing lessons are hold only by certified instructors with years of experience. In addtions, the children will wear radio helmet in order the instructor can be constantly in touch with the child and give him real-time instructions.

Whenever possible, the child will be teached with other children in order to make the kite course more funny, to allow each child to learn from the other children, and to develop the sense of cooperation that in the sea is mandatory.
