Michigan Winter Kiteboarding Lesson
2011 Michigan Snow Kiteboarding One-Day Lesson
This lesson is the perfect introduction to the sport of kite snowboarding. Whether you are an experienced on the water kiteboarder or completely new to the snow, this lesson will fit your needs. The course is specifically designed to get people into this fun and safe sport over a one-day express instructional format. The school is equipped with snowmobiles and safety gear to assist you as you get your first rides in the powder!
LOCATION
The lesson is based out of the Broneah Kiteboarding Headquarters in downtown Traverse City; from there we will take you to various coaching locations of Northern Michigan depending on conditions. We have thoroughly explored this vast snow-belt region and have found many kiteboarding spots within a 20 mile radius of the shop that are all just as good as the next. Each of these spots has certain wind directions that work best, and we will be sure to take you to the proper place for the lesson.
Traverse City is easily accessable from the entire Midwest Region including Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Madison, Milwaukee, Duluth, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Fort Wayne, Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Toronto Canada.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Traverse City offers a variety of accommodation options; from five star resorts to camping on the beach of Lake Michigan. If you are looking for a place to stay in Traverse City check out:

If this is your first time getting introduced to the sport, then don’t worry about a thing, Broneah will provide you with all the gear you will need for the lesson. If you are coming for an advanced lesson, please bring all your current kiteboarding gear so we can help you to dial it in and make sure its right for you. This is the ultimate lesson for any newcomer into the sport that is serious about getting going as fast as possible.
EXPECTATIONS
Those of you who currently kiteboard understand that the sport is completely weather dependent; unfortunately we cannot control Mother Nature. In order to kiteboard, you have to have wind. We have traveled thousands of miles to go kiteboarding in places that “always blow” but have been without wind for weeks on end. It is just part of the sport. We will work with whatever we get, whether its 30 knots or rain, we will make the best of it. Just come with that in mind and know that we try to do as best we can to make sure the conditions look good prior to the lesson.
Prepare to meet other kiteboarders in your lesson that could potentially become life-long friends. We have been organizing these kiteboarding lesson for many years now, and in this time have met some incredible people. Expect to learn and to share priceless memories with students of all types.
