SA Masterclass kiteboarding camps are designed for intermediate to advanced riders who are already independent on the water. You should be able to ride upwind confidently, handle your kite safely in stronger wind, and manage your own equipment.

These camps are ideal if you feel stuck at a certain level or want to refine your technique rather than just stabbing in the dark. Whether your goal is improving jump control, kite timing, or landing a new trick(s), the focus is on riders who want to progress with intent and structure.

Beginner lessons are not part of these camps, but a lot of the locations will have a beginner kite school available in case your partner wants to join. Motivated riders who meet the minimum requirements and want to invest in proper progression will benefit the most.

Coaching during an SA Masterclass camp is built around multiple on-water sessions combined with in-depth video analysis. Instead of one-off feedback, we work with repetition over several days, allowing you to apply corrections, review footage, and adjust your approach session by session.

Each coaching cycle typically includes:

• A focused riding session with clear goals

• Individual feedback on technique, timing, and decision-making

• Video breakdowns to highlight what actually drives improvement

• Time between sessions to reset, recover, and refine

This structure allows riders to build understanding over time, leading to more consistent and sustainable progression.

SA Masterclass camps are not about ticking off tricks or riding as much as possible. They are designed around technical understanding, efficiency, and long-term progression.

Unlike standard kitesurf camps, the emphasis is on:

• Why techniques work, not just how to attempt them

• Smaller group sizes for more focused coaching

• Conditions and locations chosen to support progression

• A coaching approach refined through years of professional riding and instruction

The result is a camp experience where riders leave with clear insights, improved technique, and tools they can apply long after the camp ends, rather than just memories of a good session.
