The EASY Way...
If you"ve ever tried to learn to kiteboard on your own, you know how frustrating it can be. What appears simple and fluid on the water actually has certain challenges. Learning on your own can be a lifelong endeavor, and learning from your “significant other†can take even longer.
“Don"t let your boyfriend/husband teach you ANYTHING!!†-Lucie Nuzzo, REAL Kiteboarding Coach
In our experience, women learn to kiteboard differently than men. Consequently, we have developed the REAL Riding Girls Kite Camp, which aims to teach women to kiteboard at a comfortable pace and with an emphasis on the fundamentals of the sport. We strive to make the learning experience fun by creating a non-competitive and friendly atmosphere where active women can meet one another and share stories about their kiteboarding experiences.
REAL Riding Girls Kite Camp : 2006 Schedule
May 19 - 21
July 14 - 16
September 15 - 17
Whether you have never tried kiteboarding before, but have dreamed of learning it, or you already have the kiteboarding basics down and want to improve your skills, REAL"s team of women kiteboarding coaches will understand your needs, helping you reach your goals by comfortably pushing your limits to get your kiting to the next level.
3 Days of FUN !
The REAL Riding Girls Kite Camp will run for three consecutive fun-filled days. We will begin at the beach, where you will be taught kite safety and responsibility, wind knowledge and water etiquette. After that, we will hit the water, where our instructors always will be by your side using our “On the Fly†PWC support until you stand up on the board for the first time.
All REAL coaches have several years of kiteboarding and coaching experience, CPR/First Aid training and lots of patience. Click HERE to meet our team of REAL Riding Girls coaches.
You Can Do It !
“Kiteboarding is usually presented like an extreme sport and that image can stop women from giving it a try. One thing you have to bear in mind is that kiteboarding is not only jumping high and riding monster waves. It can be relaxing, cruising on a sunny afternoon.†- Aimee Raby, REAL Kiteboarding Coach
Students will leave REAL as competent, self-sufficient kiteboarders. The topics covered during the REAL Riding Girls Camp include kite handling on land, kite handling on the water, developing boardskills, putting the kite and the board together, and the basic knowledge needed to become a safe and proficient kiteboarder. Camps are taught from our REAL Lesson Center, in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This private facility keeps crowds to a minimum and fun peaked at the max ! Exclusive terrain right at our doorstep allows you to experience the shallow waters (waist deep to the horizon !) , consistent breezes and unbelievable riding that has led Cape Hatteras to be known as the leading kiteboarding destination in the world.
Girls to Girls....
“The girls who want to get into this sport should definitely sign up for the REAL Riding Girls Kite Camp because there is no better place in the world to progress than Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Shallow flat water, steady wind and a lot of space all to yourself! We will teach you how to ride and rip with the boys, but first you"ll have to learn to ride and rip with the girls!
- Enily Vater, REAL Kiteboarding Coach
Once you kite with the girls, you will understand why it is such a different experience. There will be after-camp sessions that will be filled with cheering and laughter. You can try funny moves without worrying about how you look. After our session, we will pack it up, wind down over sunset refreshments, then head south to Hodad"s Restaurant for a night of fun, swapping stories about our time on the water. Kiteboarding with other women is not only about pushing one other on the water, but also socializing and having a good time together off the water.
This camp is geared specifically for women who want to learn in the company of other women. The REAL Riding Girls Camp also incorporates several off-the-water activities, including fitness, yoga and a group dinner, designed to foster a strong, healthy and stoked community of women kiteboarders.
