One of the most attractive ( not for everyone, but I think for many ) features of the island of Rhodes is the wind. Wind blows here almost every day and follows very well. Wind is needed for those who know what to do with it. For example wind -and kitesurfers.
We have long wanted to try surfing (aka kiteboarding ). When going to Rhodes, then a specially selected hotel closer to the kite station. Pretty much in the town of Kremasti (www. kiteprocenter. gr). We lived in the city Ialisos, and a 20- minute walk away along the coast, we found a small station, near the hotel Blue Bay (www. bluebay-kitesurf. gr). And not at all sorry that it got there. We met there with different people, kitesurfers and coaches.
So how do you teach kitesurfing.
The basic course consists of four sessions. The first class for three hours, the other two.
The first lesson:.
- Theory. Basically, the theory of wind and kite.
- Training on the ground with a training kite. It's very small and did not like these kites. More like a small wing. It is important to understand how the kite and how to manage.
- Explain the device kite: trapeze, strap, loop, a safety leash, slings, safety. Show how to inflate the kite, as laid slings and m. n. Further, they are driving into the water to the waist, and cling to your trainer kite size of 3 square. m. There is already possible to feel the traction kite.
Second Lesson:.
Give the kite 6 square. meters and no boards are taught to swim ' Superman ', as well as upload your kite. ' Superman ' - is swimming with a kite without a board. For example, if the board came off of you and swim separately, then you need to swim up to it somehow. This is where we must be able somehow to move upwind.
Third lesson:.
With the same six-meter kite you try to stand up to the board. Did not go, but just to get up.
Fourth Lesson:.
You are already trying to go to the penalty himself with kite.
Until you learn to think that all this is very traumatic and dangerous. When I was thoroughly possessed, I scratched my leg for a safety lishem board, which is wrapped around the legs. Moreover, leash broke, and I even lost board. The guys have been searching for her, but then learned that it caught on a nearby surf- station. After many trips back they still gave the board a pivas. According to them, they still got off a good. In Brazil, the board found selling for almost half price!.
Julia, that in general, was covered in spots from bruises from blows to the board. However, when you start to ride myself, this feeling passes, and bruises are, sort of, even personal.
I got a little travel is the third lesson of six, but it is very difficult. We have to work all the time the kite that pulled. However, after one additional class, I was riding alone. We all did not work Yulka get on board. But, after a series of extra-curricular activities, and she went!.
When you take extra classes, use the radio. Take the usual motorolovskaya radio, packed in a waterproof bag and prisobachivaetsya helmet from side to. That's how you travel with it. Beauty!.
Compared to windsurfing, kitesurfing learn, I think the same thing with skiing to stand on a snowboard. In windsurfing as well as skiing, initially you can somehow be more or less go. At the same kite must first thoroughly learn, fall, fly, be beaten, then to a carefree ride. Since we are familiar to us under the feet of the board, you can easily turn it on various pirouettes.
Yes, yet another lovely kite - so that it does not need to jump the waves =).
Usually taught in groups of two.
The first attempts to go Yulka.
' Superman '!.
Debriefing ( in both senses, for the fly so that only your heels on the sparkling water ).
