2. Insurance

4. Wind & Weather Policy
- — Kitesurfing depends on wind conditions. If the wind is insufficient or unsafe on a scheduled lesson day, the session will be rescheduled at no extra cost, or fully refunded.

- — The decision to cancel a session due to weather conditions rests solely with Kite Me Up instructors, based on safety criteria.
