It was not easy to choose the kitesurf school on the lake Como since there are a lot. Be sure that this school is really a super choice. The owner Fi is really reactive, trustworthy, gives you precise information and is easy to reach. The school is perfectly organized. You just feel confident. We had a very nice, funny, patient and skilled instructor Victor, who is really dedicated to his job. He always had our back as beginners. The aim of the school is really to take the best of the lake and to give full space to their students in order to avoid the crowded place/time where all the riders are. We really had the opportunity to learn in the best conditions. A special thanks to 414 kite surf school and to Victor 👍👍

Ich war nun bereits das vierte Mal (jeweils ca. eine Woche) mit 414 Kiting unterwegs. Aufgrund der guten Erfahrungen mit den Instruktoren, des guten Materials und der schnellen Lernfortschritte dank Begleitboot und Drop-in an der "Düse" habe ich auch einige meiner Freunde dazu begeistert, hier kiten zu lernen. Mittlerweile erinnern sich Chris und Fiona (unter den wohl 100en wenn nicht 1000en Schülern) und empfangen mich herzlich. à Propos die beiden: Die Organisation ist stets sehr einfach und von humorvoller Kommunikation geprägt. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: - gute Instruktoren - gutes Materia - cooles Team => wer schnell Fortschritte machen will, ist hier an der richtigen Adresse :)

Recently spent 4 days with 414 improving my kitesurfing. Had an excellent time in a beautiful location. The school is well organised with a friendly and knowledgeable team of instructors. The equipment was all new and worked properly. I chose group lessons and we each had our own kite so had plenty of time on the kite to practice what we were taught. Although in the middle of Lake Como, I felt perfectly safe as the instructor kept an eye on you and would be there quickly if you needed help. In addition, there were other school boats around, all in contact with each other via radio, who would also provide assistance, if required. All in all, a fantastic time and will certainly go back again.

I spent four days at 414, learning from beginner to standing. Really professional team and caring atmosphere. You have your own kite and gear and the boat puts you where the wind is. Safety first and individual guidance. Thank you Fi, Zoltan and Victor and the others!

Excellent Kitesurfing school. We had private lessons with Zolty and he did a wonderful job and took a step by step approach which was very helpful. Equipment was state of the art and everybody super friendly 🤘🏻

Einfach eine super kiteschule! Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich es tatsächlich schaffe zu kiten! Karo ist eine super Lehrerin.Die Inhaber und Lehrer sind alle total offen und machen auch spontan Termine möglich!

No Kite Sharing

Most other schools will give you a kite between 2 or even up to 4 people for the lesson. That’s a lot of time when you should be kiting, but will end up watching (and paying for it!). We keep our groups small in order to make it possible for everyone to have their own kite and board for the duration.

No Wind? No Fee!

We don’t charge if there’s no wind and we can’t run your lesson. We think that’s only fair.

In The Water On The First Day

We don’t waste your time flying small kites on land for days. Our lessons are fully immersive, with only the first hour of complete beginner sessions based on land. As soon as we can, we get you on the water with your kite in the air. Some other schools will keep you on the land for up to 2 days before even going in the water.

Maximum Learning Time

We don’t limit your time on the water. If the wind’s blowing and you’ve still got energy, we want you to get the most out of your session. Most other schools will give you a limited number of hours per day. We think you want to get the most out of your lesson, so won’t do this.

Small Groups

Our group lessons are maximum 3 students. This means you get all the attention you need from the instructor, and maximises your progress.

Flexibility

The majority of days we meet at 11:00 and kite on thermal winds in the afternoon, but sometimes passing weather systems mean the wind blows best at other times of the day. Nature’s in charge when it comes to kitesurfing and we’ll reschedule the timing of our sessions to make sure you get the best of the conditions she provides.

Qualified Instructors

All of our team are IKO-qualified, some up to Examiner level. We have specialists in kiteboarding, strapless surfboard riding, kitefoiling, and wing foiling –  we know what we’re doing

Safety

Top quality boats, small teaching groups, top quality equipment, and MOB kill cord systems on our boats mean that you are in safe hands.

IKO Certification

We’re registered as an IKO Pro School, and all our students are registered and certified with the IKO at the end of their time with us. Already have an IKO license? No worries – we can update existing licenses too :)
