HOW DOES IT WORK ?

Learn Kitesurfing 🌊
Step by Step

Learning kitesurfing is a step-by-step process.
Throughout the journey, you'll need to multitask—managing your body while keeping the kite stable in the air.
Our course is divided into phases to make the learning process smooth and stress-free. Each step focuses on a few key skills so you can master them before moving on to the next stage.

STEP 1: Getting Started on the Beach

The first lesson takes place usually on the beach.
Here, you'll get familiar with the equipment and learn how to control the kite in various situations, which will prepare you for the next steps in the water.

Key points during the lesson:

  • How to set up and pack down the kite gear

  • Understanding and using the safety systems

  • Flying the kite for the first time and practicing basic exercises

STEP 2: Body Dragging in the Water

The second lesson focuses on body dragging, a skill you'll use whenever you lose your board and need to retrieve it.
You'll also start exercises to generate more power with the kite in preparation for the next phase.

Key points during the lesson:

  • Normal body dragging

  • Power body dragging

  • Body dragging with the board

STEP 3: Water Start – Your First Rides

The third lesson is the “Water Start,” where the goal is to ride your first meters on the board, moving downwind.

Key points during the lesson:

  • Learning to put the board on your feet while keeping the kite in the air

  • Generating the right amount of power to lift yourself onto the board

  • Balancing and controlling the board while riding

  • Retrieving your board with body dragging whenever needed

STEP 4: Riding Upwind

Once you can consistently ride downwind, the next step is learning to ride upwind (against the wind direction). This essential skill allows you to return to your starting point after a water start.

Key points during the lesson:

  • Understanding wind directions: downwind and upwind

  • Mastering the technique to ride back to your starting position

STEP 5: Transitions – Changing Directions

The final step is learning transitions—changing direction smoothly without falling or sitting in the water.

Key points during the lesson:

  • Switching directions on both sides while maintaining control

Become an Independent Rider

By completing these five steps, you'll achieve the level of an independent rider. This means you’ll be ready to rent kite equipment anywhere in the world and enjoy the freedom of kitesurfing on your own!

  • PATRICK

    My buddy and I spent a month with BellaFiss kiteschool and we were both thrilled. Good wind, good people, good food, what more could you want for the perfect kitesurfing vacation at one of the best spots in the world? The accommodation is very cozy and only 100m from the beach. The two friends Matteo and Andrea who are the owners of BellaFiss kiteschool are both legendary guys and have acquired a lot of knowhow over the years when it comes to teaching kitesurfing. Of course, with BellaFiss kiteschool you will also have a great time when you don't need lessons anymore. For me it is already clear that I will be back in Cape Town at the end of the year!!! #Swiss precission, Italian passion

  • ANNA

    Great kite school with excellent teachers! I have taken private lessons with Andrea and Matteo and I can absolutely reccomend the experience with both! I was able to learn super much and felt safe the whole time. Great teachers and always fun to be around! Will definitely come back!

  • MARCEL

    I had an amazing experience learning to kite with Andrea as my instructor. His commitment and engagement throughout the lessons were truly impressive. Thanks to his guidance, I became an independent kiter riding up-wind and doing the transitions. Despite being at the initial stages of my learning journey, I feel confident about my progress, all thanks to Andrea's expertise. Having had a few instructors prior to Andrea, I can say without a doubt that he was a master class teacher. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking to learn or improve their kite surfing skills.

  • GRAYSON

    THE kite school in Cape Town. The instructors here are pros and they are very patient with you. They are also just cool people and great to hang out with. Multiple people recommended this place to me and I see why. Highly recommend for kiting in Cape Town

  • FABIO

    Thanks to Andrea and Matteo, who are incredibly professional instructors, clear in their explanations, and precise in their navigation tips, I can now continue my kitesurfing journey with great enthusiasm and motivation.

    An experience I highly recommend to anyone who wants to try this amazing sport while also having a lot of fun, thanks to their friendly and energetic approach.

    See you soon, guys!
