COCOS (K) ISLANDS BEGINNER KITESURFING EXPERIENCE

Unique Holiday Fun!

Kitesurfing is one of the world’s fastest-growing adrenaline sports and will make its first appearance at the 2024 Olympic Games. So, why not get in on the action and have a go? Our 1-hour Kitesurfing Experience lesson is perfect for families who want to experience something new while on holiday, or for anyone who would love to see what the excitement is all about!

Play with a trainer kite on the beautiful “Kite Beach”. Watch it dip and loop and fly! Learn how to generate power as you maneuver the kite through the wind window. With kite flying skills under your belt, you will be able to progress to a power kite much sooner!

A trainer kite is a small, lightweight kite designed to be used as a training aid for learning to kitesurf. They are safer and easier to fly than a power kite and are a great tool in teaching basic kite flying skills and techniques. A trainer kite typically has two or three lines, and is controlled using a bar or handles.

Yes! Playing with a trainer kite is a safe and fun activity, suitable for the whole family. However, we do recommend kids be at least 8 years old.

Learning how to fly a trainer kite is safe and easy! And it’s a great first step to learning how to kitesurf!

WHAT PEOPLE THINK

Fantastic tour, professional quality staff who are constantly encouraging, sensation location with great wind and beautiful surroundings, great food, adventures to different locations, workshop clinics where you learn new stuff, everything you could hope for a kiting holiday. Highly recommend it. David, Melbourne.

Thanks to Ben, Cat, and the team for a great Cocos kiteboarding experience. As usual, the team did a great job at improving my kiteboarding skills and showing me a great time. I always feel like less of a kiteboarding hack after a Zephyr tour. Big call out to Ieke, Marnix, and Ben who are outstanding instructors. Also, high praise to Max who fed us some amazing dishes over the course of the tour. I can recommend a Zephyr tour to anyone looking for an awesome time and looking to progress their kiting skills.

Warwick N., VIC Cocos Islands 2022

Absolutely fantastic trip, short enough to escape without being missed and long enough to improve my kiting. A great adventure and even gave my liver a workout! Save me a spot and I'll see you next year!

Willy R., QLD Far North QLD 2022

Initially, I was surprised by how short the tour was until I experienced it. It is an intense kiting holiday, no time wasting, and in the end a great length (especially a warm-up to Cocos). We felt so privileged to kite on coral cays without anyone else in sight, just the rays, turtles, and fish. Ness and Bretto were great fun, open, and full of great stories and advice. Benny and Marnix are wonderful hosts and even better instructors. The group of clients worked exceptionally well and I hope we can all get together next year!
