The Venturi effect between the island of Korčula and the coast of the Pelješac peninsula creates the ideal conditions for kitesurfing, making Viganj the perfect location for trying out these sports. It’s a great location to practice for all experience levels. Wind conditions are generally more favorable in the afternoon.
Your instructor will organize the week taking into account the experience level of each student and the weather conditions. There can be a maximum of six students per instructor.
It is easier for beginners to master water start in pairs, so you will be paired up for lessons (one kite per two persons).
This pedagogical approach makes it possible to quickly acquire a large volume of information on the preparation of the equipment, take-off, and landing of the wing, as well as safety rules.
Most often the course starts at 14h and lasts until 18h.
All of this is coupled with wakeboarding. Wakeboarding is very similar to kitesurfing. These are two very complementary sports. The knowledge of one sport will help when mastering the other. For example, the mastery of water start in wakeboarding will help later for water start in kitesurfing or vice versa. Each session is 20 min per person.
Number of sessions:
– 12h of kitesurfing (3 afternoons: 3 x 4h)
- 4h of kite preparation and theory (2 mornings)
- 4 sessions of wakeboarding (20min/session)
If the wind conditions are not favorable for kitesurfing, then the activity will be replaced by wakeboarding or something else.
For the price of €50 you can get surf equipment insurance.
