4 PZKITE LEVELS
The training programme at our school is based on the guidelines of the Polish Kiteboarding Association (PZKite). The training system is based on the four levels of PZKite. After completing each stage of training you will receive a progress card from us.
The card is personal and allows you to continue learning and renting equipment in other bases in Poland and abroad.
LEVEL 1 - BEGINNER
Level 1 is an excellent introduction to kitesurfing and usually lasts for 1 to 2 days of windy days (4/5 hours). At this stage you will learn the essentials of kitesurfing theory, safety and how to prepare your equipment for sailing. You will also learn how to steer the kite and perform your first ‘body drags’ – an exercise where the kite pulls you across the surface of the water in the indicated direction.
AT THIS STAGE YOU WILL LEARN:
- Basic safety rules
- Controlling a small training kite
- How a kite is built
- How to prepare the equipment for swimming
- To steer the kite on the edge of the wind window
- Swimming with body drags
- How and when to use safety systems
LEVEL 2 - INTERMEDIATE
Once you have acquired the skills of kite control and body dragon swimming, you will begin the adventure of taking off on a board. During the next 4-5 hours of class you will learn how to launch a kite with the help of an assistant and how to swim body dredges with a board. You will finish this level by making your first board launches and being able to swim a short distance in both directions!
AT THIS STAGE YOU WILL LEARN:
- How to launch a kite with the help of an assistant
- To swim body dredges with a board
- Starting with the board and being able to swim a short distance
- Swimming in both directions without maintaining altitude
- Emergency retrieve of lines and kite in the water
LEVEL 3 - ADVANCED
Level 3 is about perfecting your swimming on the board. During the next 5-6 hours of the course you will learn the correct body position on the board and how to maintain your height in relation to the wind. During this stage of training we use the Bb TALKIN’ wireless intercom. Thanks to this technology you will be in contact with your instructor at all times, even when you are a few dozen metres away from him!
AT THIS STAGE YOU WILL LEARN:
- Maintaining and gaining height
- Correct body position while swimming
- Swimming against the wind
- Execution of turns
- Right of way according to KsPD
LEVEL 4 - ADVANCED +
Level four is the final stage of learning kitesurfing from the basic courses. Having level 4 skills entitles you to take the PZKite instructor course. Below you can watch a video in which we explain how to do a straight jump correctly:
AT THIS STAGE YOU WILL LEARN:
- Performing and landing a straight jump
- Driving in the switch position
- Swimming in boundary conditions
- Swimming in rough water
DEEP WATER SAFETY - ADDITIONAL TRAINING
Deep Water Safety training is an additional option for kitesurfers who have completed the basic course and want to improve their skills to feel more confident in deep water. The class will focus on key techniques for coping in more difficult conditions and the effective use of safety systems.
DURING THE TRAINING YOU WILL PRACTICE:
- Independent recovery of the board in deep water
- Swimming body drags in different directions
- Restarting the kite quickly and efficiently from the water
- Handling emergency situations
- Use of safety systems and self rescue
FREESTYLE & BIG AIR
Do you feel confident in the water, swim effortlessly sharp into the wind and want to learn to jump? Or do you already know something but would like to improve your technique and learn new tricks? Whether you are just starting out with jumping or want to perfect more advanced stunts, our instructor will adapt the programme to your level.
DURING THE CLASS YOU WILL LEARN:
- Perform basic stunts in the air
- Correct kick-out and controlled landing
- Correct body position and board control in the air
- Loops and advanced manoeuvres
- First unhooked tricks
- Big air techniques – how to jump higher and fly longer
KITE FOIL
Kite Foil training is the ideal option for advanced kite surfers who have completed their training, are comfortable sailing in both directions, sharpening and falling off. A good feel for the board and skilful kite control are key to making learning effective and enjoyable. Thanks to the special mast with hydro wing instead of a classic board, you will be able to enjoy sailing even in light wind conditions.
Due to the length of the mast (40-90 cm), lessons take place in deep water and safety is ensured by a motorboat belay.
DURING THE TRAINING YOU WILL LEARN TO:
- Correct position and balance on a foil board
- Controlled take-off and smooth entry into levitation
- Maintaining height and generating and controlling speed
- Effective turns and smooth transitions
- Basic safety and self rescue
