The Kiteboarding Australia Discovery Program concentrates on safety and flying the kite without a board. This is an internationally accepted format for teaching kitesurfing and it is important to learn to fly the kite while bodydragging as it is the safest and most efficient way to power up the kite and learn to control the power.
