Kitesurf under 18

[tomkite]

i kite(land)board regularly and am looking to get on to the water. Obviously it makes sense to get qualified tuition but i'm having problems geting a course because i'm 15yrs. I think its because of insuance reasons.

Does any1 know of anywhere that will take me??

not certain on this but surely all you need to do is take a parent or responsible adult with you to sign your life away.

 

also have you explained you already have kite and board skills to them.

[tomkite]

well i've got a Pk1&2 certificate for advanced powerkite flying and kitelandboarding which might help. But i think the person actually undergoing the course has to be 18 but i'll ring round.

Hi, If your under 18 you need a parent to be there when you attend the course. I keep courses running all year round 7 days a week, here at Aberdyfi. Good luck.

i've been to aberdyfi, nice place. bit far to go though. extremekiteshop is 40min away from me so it seems better suited. Then again if i persuade the family...........

Ye Had an adult . Got up pretty much 1st time and was going up wind and learning to jump 2nd time , it was awsome . But had to have parent there.

I did it in Aberdyfi . i think they're shutting for the winter in Aberdyfi but not worcester.
