Description : The very latest craft with added safety thanks to the patented kite release system and the “depower” device (system used to adjust the power of the kite). Cabrinha kites are also very easy to use thanks to their stability and their ability to take off again in very light breezes.
Activity : Led by a qualified instructor, the lesson is based on theoretical and practical aspects recommended by the French gliding federation (Fédération Française de Vol Libre). A skill level is validated on the federation passport issued at the end of the course.
