SKA - Beginners weekend, Aberavon, 14-16th October

Two days Kitesurfing tuition at a tiny fraction of the going rate, with two nights accommodation in our own little corner of wales just 5 minutes from the spot with a bar on site… what could go wrong? We’ll get your kite flying skills bang tidy, so that you’re ready to enter the water on subsequent trips with your university clubs! Wind dependent we should get everybody through the equivalent of the BKSA Day One Course, taking you through set-up, safety systems, basic piloting, self-rescue, launching, landing and passing over the kite in flight.
