Where are you?

Your goal at level 7

You’ve already built up plenty of experience and you’re ready to raise the bar. At this level we focus on jumping even higher, controlled board‑offs and your first kiteloops. The goal? Consistently getting above 10 meters and using your airtime to push new limits with style and control. This is where you prepare yourself for the very top level.

You can already

For level 7 (advanced kiter) you already have a solid base and head out on the water with confidence. You’re jumping high — roughly 7 to 8 meters at least — and can pull controlled grabs. Strong wind doesn’t scare you; on the contrary, you enjoy it. You might already be working on your first board‑offs, practising unhooked moves or trying a kiteloop. This level is for kiters ready to make the leap toward 10 meters and beyond, and who want to use their airtime more creatively and technically.

Conditions

During your sessions you’re mostly kiting independently, logging serious hours on the water and having a blast learning new tricks or just cruising and enjoying the ride. We combine that with group theory sessions, personal one‑on‑one coaching and sometimes a helmet with a radio for immediate feedback. We also use video analysis to clearly track your progress and target specific improvements. The most important ingredient is that we push you safely out of your comfort zone, so you gain confidence, learn new tricks and speed up your progression. Don’t feel like that and just want to sail and enjoy? No problem!

How you build it up

Level 7 is all about further building your airtime and style. We work on higher and more consistent jumps (aiming toward 10 meters), controlled board‑offs and your first kiteloops. You’ll refine your jumps with longer grabs and gain more control in strong wind. In short: you train to step up to the highest level with confidence, power and creativity.

Frequently asked questions about level 7

What should you be able to do before level 7?
