Kiteboarding Workshops for Women is the ticket to any special gal's heart. Don't just get her the same old flowers and chocolates but get her an experience that will last a life time! When she leans to kite then she can come and play WITH you instead of wishing you spent more time with her. Get the present that give back!

Feb 20-21 will be for total beginners who will spend a day learning to fly a trainer kite on the beach and day two will be hopefully body-dragging in the water depending on conditions. Any no-wind or too-strong wind time will be used to teach kite anatomy, set-up and break-down, safety (self rescue and release systems), conditions analysis etc.

Feb 27-28 will be for those who are already in the water up on a board or just about. If you have just learned and are still not totally confident on your own but would like some concentrated help getting there this workshop is for you. Su will find out where you are and what you need to progress. Just a few helpful tips can make all the difference between being in control or not.

The space is limited this time to maximum ten women. This will ensure that everyone gets quality instruction and personal attention over the weekend. If there are more then 10 per group then we will offer more workshops in the future. If there is no wind there is a lovely mountain to hike, fishing, diving, and the Whangarei falls and much more to entertain ourselves.

The cost is minimal at $450-$500 (depending on final numbers) for the entire weekend including two days of lessons, lodging, breakfast and lunch at a lovely beach side rental home. We will have a kitchen to cook together for diner or a few options close by for dining out. Ruakaka is four hours from Raglan (two from Aukland) and we can certainly car-pool to save on gas and environment!

If you got those same amount of hours in private lessons you would be spending $1,280 for 8 hours of lessons a day for two days at $80/hour...no room or food either. Although we probably won't have wind all eight hours, we will have things to learn and information to incorporate that will fill up the time easily!

Come join us for a weekend of supportive, fun learning in a safe environment as well as a full on party a la femme! First come, first serve so please reserve your spot today! Even if you have already given me your name please do so again for confirmation, cheers! Tell your girl friends today!
