Kitesurfing School
%20(10).png)
After much consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision not to run the Kite School this season. This has not been an easy choice, but due to the direction of my other business ventures and personal lifestyle changes, it is the best course of action for the time being. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
In the meantime, if you're looking for another kitesurfing option, I highly recommend Ride Kitesurfing in Adelaide. I used to ride with them, and they’re an excellent crew for anyone wanting to continue their kiting journey and in need of lesson support. They are based in Semaphore Adelaide.
You'll still see me on the beach instead though I'll be kiting myself, getting back to the sport I fell in love with and rest assured, we’ll continue facilitating our kitesurfing retreats as planned!

What is Kite Surfing ?
Kitesurfing is a wind powered surface water sport using a kite and a board to move across the water. Kitesurfing harnesses the power of the wind through a large kite that is specifically designed. The kite is used to propel a rider across the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard.

After the lesson/s
Time to get Kitted up -
So you have had some lessons and you think this is the sport for you. If you see value in the sport and what it has to offer I recommend you purchase some gear and spend as much time out on the water as soon as possible. Time on the water is key. Repetition, repetition, repetition! Build that muscle memory. Get familiar with your kite, build your confidence and get familiar with how to fly in different winds and conditions.
You can purchase gear from Jess at KSYP . The school has something to suit all. Just ask Jess and she will be glad to lead you in the right direction for gear purchases for your new journey.
New gear vs pre-loved. We highly recommend new gear for any rider however if this is something that is not an option for you straight away. Speak to Jess about the pre- loved 2nd hand kit options. Its better to buy 2nd hand equipment from someone you trust than from a source you don't know.
Keep in touch
KSYP's aim is to build a great community of kitesurfers on YP and in SA. So make sure you stay in touch. The community is always willing to help. So when you're doing your first flight, be sure to reach out. Support and safety are important!
Follow along KSYP social platforms and don't forget to feel free to add any pictures of yourself, your mates, SA beaches and locations to our gallery for all to see.
Social Media-
There is a couple of face book messenger groups where we all communicate about when/where we plan to kite. At your request Jess will add you to these forums. This is a great communication tool as you can ask the locals who have been riding in this area for a long time anything you may want to know regarding tides, beaches and locations. Knowledge is power so don't be shy, reach out and ask. Don't forget to let us know when your heading out so we can keep an eye on you and assist if we can.
