PROGRESS OF THE STEP

Every morning we present the daily plan. Usually we start with dry training – apart from stretching exercises, also trainers and theory of what we will learn. Then you go from the water and train for real. After about two hours we go to lunch, where we discuss other things. After lunch there is an afternoon break for about an hour and then we go back into the water for another hour or so of instruction.
Later in the afternoon there is a theoretical dry lesson, instructional videos and both kitesurf and snowkit videos are shown. We play not only ball games and exercise on indoboards.
When it’s not blowing, we break things down dry, work out on the treadmills, do stretching exercises, ride our bikes and go for a run.

DINING

With us (for unaccompanied juniors) or on your own.
Breakfast and dinner with us within the campsite by arrangement: 10 euro/day/person.
Lunch is on your own at your own expense at the campsite – smoked fish, steak and chips, or your own supplies.
