Experience the latest in instructional technology with Bb Talkin’ Action Sports intercom helmets for faster learning and better communication during your lesson.

  • Pilot the kite on the beach in the neutral zone.
  • Use safety systems to disable and retrieve the kite.
  • Relaunch the kite from the water.
  • Pilot the kite off the shore, transitioning from the neutral zone into the power zone for body dragging.
  • Complete body drag runs with power dives (approx. 3 runs per student in the first lesson).
  • Walk the kite in the neutral zone back up the beach.
  • Pack up the lines and kite for easy setup next time.
