level waterstart to independent cruising
I wasn't a complete beginner and picked it up quickly so my experience may differ from first-timers. I opted for private lessons. Don't expect a tight schedule, the wind and weather play a big role too. We had to break off a lesson because of a thunderstorm but you can just resume when the weather clears (they also offer to refund the remaining time if you dont have the opportunity to resume training).
The instructors are very relaxed and enthousiastic about the sport. I could hear them cheering me on when i was doing well. They even provided me with some video's afterwards. It was not a particularly structured lesson but more 'guided practice' with helpful pointers, which fitted my level. We did not use a headset, that would've been a nice addition: its hard to hear over the wind&distance.
