Calling all kitesurfers keen to take their riding skills to the next level during an action packed long weekend clinic, while enjoying a luxurious stay and the breath-taking scenery of the Cornish coast. All this in the company of no other but one of kitesurfing most prominent UK ambassadors – Tom Court. 

Suited towards independent riders who want to progress, this intensive clinic will elevate your skills to the next level, regardless if you are keen to lock in a new freestyle trick, improve your freeride technique or add a few meters to your personal Woo/Surf record. 

Tom is an incredible coach with years of kiting and coaching experience in every discipline, and with an incredible amount of experience and knowledge of UK kite conditions. He will work with you personally on the water, followed by video analysis and debrief in the evenings to help you make the most of your time in the clinic.  

For this clinic we will be staying in a luxurious villa set in an acre of private landscaped garden, located 500m from the perfection of Watergate Bay, on the North Coast of Cornwall, just a couple of miles from Newquay.

19 November

Arrival day, and a downwinder from Preá to Tatajuba, 35km. The idea is to do a simple downwinder to check your level and ensure your gear is all okay. Get back to Preá after the downwinder and we will spend the evening in Jericoacoara.

 

 

20 November

Downwind from Camocím to Barra Grande, 55km. Transfer between Preá and Camocím to start the day’s downwinder. Youri Zoon and the local instructors will join you for the downwinder, and you will be followed on land by a 4×4 with all the equipment and cool drinks for the breaks!

 

21 November

Downwinder from Barra Grande to Macapá, 10km, followed by a flat water session. Free kite day in the Macapá Delta and preparation for the Delta de Parnaíba. Getting back to Barra Grande at the end of the day.

 

22 November

Downwind from Barra Grande to Delta de Parnaíba, 55km. Youri and the local instructors will join you for the downwinder, and you will be followed on land by a 4×4 with all the equipment, and they’ll also keep a check on your progress.

 

23 November

Downwind from Delta de Parnaíba to Tutoia, 61km. Enjoy this unique and beautiful leg of the downwinder through the Delta de Parnaíba. This is a truly amazing and unique experience – you will be accompanied by a boat during this part of the downwinder.

Spots

Close to the famous city of Jericoacoara, Preá enjoys stronger sideshore winds that are simply perfect for Big Air, powered freestyle or just for boosting into the sunset!

Barra Grande has perfect kite conditions and butter-flat waters.

Atins

Atins is a small fishing village located on the coast of Maranhão, surrounded by the dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. It’s a special place, right at the delta of the Preguiças River, a small creek, and the Atlantic Ocean.
