We are very psyched for summer kitesurfing and windsurfing lessons. We will start as soon as the water is warm enough with brand new state-of-the-art equiment and professional and fun instruction.

Kitesurfing Instruction

Ground Control: This is the start of your kitesurfing career (and potential obsession). This class takes you from set-up and safety to flying technique, in and out of harness, simulated water-starts and includes kiting theory - some hows and whys. Stormboarding provides kites, harnesses and safety gear. This a small group class with no more than 3 students. You bring sneakers. This class takes place in a field, no water (yet). 2 hours, $85 per person

In the Water: First Ride Lesson: Now it is time to hit the water. This class will take you through rigging and launching a big kite, getting comfortable with the increased power, body dragging, water starts, emergency release and self-rescue and for some, your first rides. This a small group class with no more than 3 students. If you are the only one in the class, it will run for 2 hours. We provide kite, harness, impact vest/PFD and helmet. You must bring water shoes (slip on booties work best) and a wet suit (if needed).  3 hours, $150 per person

Individual Kitesurfing Instruction: Work exactly at your pace, no sharing of kites one on one with your instructor. $75/hour.

This year we will be focusing on offering new and experienced kiters, with their own equipment, $30 boat assisted kite trips to some sandbars on the lake that offer excellent riding venues but can only be accessed by boat. Equipment rental available with trip: $110. 3 hour outings.

Windsurfing Instruction

Small Group Learn to Windsurf: We guarantee that we can teach you basic windsurfing in 1 hour thanks to excellent modern equipment and solid sailing techniques. Grab some friends and learn together. We provide all PFD's and windsurfing gear, you bring water shoes and wet suits (if needed). $100/hr total for up to 4 people.

Individual Windsurfing Instruction: Take your riding to another level or just work with an instructor, no board sharing. We provide all PFD's and windsurfing gear, you bring water shoes and wet suits (if needed). $60/hr.

Windsurfing Board/Rig Rental: Hooked but not yet ready to buy your own gear? Come sail while we teach others. $30/hr. We also recommend thinking about coming out for an Adventure Trip with friends - they can swim, paddle and play in the water while you sail. Excellent value - and you have witnesses to your skills. $150 total for a 2.5 hour outing for up to 6 people.

Snowkiting: Thank you to everyone who came to learn, improve and have fun snowkiting this past season. We will be psyched for another great snowkite season in VT starting in Decemeber 2006. In the meantime - see you on the water.

Intro to Snowkiting: The coolest feature that snowkiting has over kitesurfing is instant gratification - ride in your first lesson! Start with set-up and safety and learn to fly then ride in this comprehensive 3 hour, small group snowkite class. All kiting equipment is provided, just bring your skis/boards, boots and helmet.

Fill in the Gap Lesson: For Kitstorm Participants only: This is a 2 hour lesson for people who participate in the free clinics at the Kitestorm and does exactly what the name implies. At the Kitestorm you get a taste of what flying the kite and riding are like but have to share with a lot of people - this lesson will teach you about the set-up, safety and refined riding and flying techniques needed to ride independently.

On the Boards: This is our 2 hour next step snowkiting class for people who have taken the intro, who have done some kitesurfing but are just heading out to the snow or people who need a brush up on skills and technique. All kiting equipment is provided, just bring your skis/boards, boots and helmet.

Advanced Instruction: Need help getting off the ground or timing your jumps? Need to sort out and tune your kite once and for all? Do you not want to share your instructor or the kites? We give individual lessons tailored specifically to your needs. $75/hour.

Group discounts and custom snowkite programs including expedition rides available. Come as a school groups or a family and learn to snowkite together. Custom programs available.
