Kitesurf lessons in Tasmania

Learning to kitesurf is easier than learning to windsurf and it has all the thrills of surfing, wakeboarding and snowboarding plus a dimension of jumping like no other sport.

Kitesurfing has some obvious risk involved and it is essential that newcomers receive instruction from a recognised school with professional instructors. X-Sport considers safety to be of the utmost importance and provides a free beginners lesson with every kite sold.

X-Sport is the only Tasmanian kitesurfing school that is recognised by both the International Kiteboarding Organisation and the Australian Kitesurfing Association and has a qualified and certified instructor. Our instructor has IKO qualifications which ensures the latest techniques and information from an internationally recognised teaching body.

X-Sport has a selection of inflatable and small foil training kites available to suit all levels of ability and weather conditions.

If you want to get into kitesurfing it is essential for your own safety, and the safety of those around you, that you take lessons with an accredited instructor.
