Virginia Power Kites offers PASA certified instruction. That means that you can receive up to $1,000,000 liability insurance, get certified as a kiteboarder according to PASA methodology, receive a 20% discount on iKitesurf's wind reports, and receive a subscription to a kiteboarding magazine. PASA is a reputable organization that officially trains kiteboarding instructors according to an established curriculum.

Here is a sample lesson plan of what we will be covering in this camp:

~virginiapowe830/uploads/Kiteboarding lesson plan(4).pdf 

Two full days (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. wind permitting).

The camp takes place at Sandbridge, Virginia on the Back Bay, in Kiptopeke State Park on the Eastern shore (south of the park because there is a swimmers area on the north side of the park), or at First Landing State Park on the south side of the Chesapeake Bay. Also, you may do some body dragging south of the Sandbridge pier.

As a beginning kiteboarder, you are required to practice body dragging away from any obstructions and away from any bathers, surfers, or lifeguards. We require that all of our students are at least 100 feet away from any bathers. During summer months, you may schedule for this camp at any time. Also, after obtaining instruction, you must be able to self-launch and self-rescue and be confident of your kiiting skills if you plan to kiteboard in the Virginia Beach area.

You can learn how to kiteboard with professional instruction:

* spend at least one day learning kite control, kite safety, self-rescue, and body dragging

* learn how to water start

* accelerated learning curve because of one on one, personalized instruction

* learn how to kitesurf both directions

* develop the skills to be confident in the water

*  understand the risks of flying kites in overpowered/gusty/stormy/offshore conditions

* learn to self-launch, self-rescue, and learn safety systems as well as body dragging upwind
