Level 8 Hardcore

You’re at Level 8 (hardcore) when you have years of experience and feel completely at home in extreme conditions. You consistently jump above 15 meters, can already land kiteloops and have experience with technical big-air tricks. You’re comfortable in strong wind, keep control in turbulent conditions and are working on adding rotations, board-offs or maybe even your first handlepasses. In short: this is the level where only the most experienced and progressive kiters hang out, ready to push your limits even further with top coaches.

When you can do this independently and repeatably: consistently land jumps above 15 meters, execute and master megaloops with rotations, add massive big-air tricks with style, land your first (or improved) handlepasses, maintain control in extreme wind and conditions, progressively combine rotations, grabs and loops and develop your own style and signature at a top level.

During your sessions you mostly kite independently, racking up hours on the water and having a blast learning new tricks—or just cruising and enjoying the ride. We combine this with group theory, personal one-on-one coaching and sometimes a helmet with radio for direct feedback. We also use video analysis to clearly track your progress and target specific improvements. The most important ingredient is that we push you out of your comfort zone safely, so you gain confidence, learn new tricks and level up your kitesurfing faster. Not in the mood for all that and just want to sail and enjoy? No problem!
