Yes, as long as you are comfortable in water and know how to swim, but thatโ€™s about it. โฃ

Drinking water, sun protection, a bathing suit and a snack to reward yourself. If you have your own water shoes and wetsuit, you can bring them and if not, we have available for students. @saltykites also sell them if you would like your own.โฃ

From beginners to pros, we all start the same way, with setting up our equipment. This takes around 45 minutes, as we explain the basics about the wind and the kite equipment. Then itโ€™s straight into the water for an introduction to kite control with our specialized school kites. The goal for the first lesson is to get a basic understanding of flying a powered kite.โฃ

We normally teach in Zekreet and Fuwairit, all depending on tides and wind conditions. Both locations are approximately 1h drive from Doha and can be accessed with normal cars.โฃ

Between 8 and 12 hours of private lessons to become a safe independent kitesurfer. Prior water sports (wakeboarding, surfing) and wind sports (sailing, paragliding) experience will help a bit.โฃ

We have years of experience in teaching children and incorporate the parents into the lesson to create a comfortable environment for all. We use specialized equipment suited for smaller, lighter riders with shorter reach. Students must be a minimum of 35Kg and should know how to swim. โฃ
