Kiteboarding is one of the youngest water sports, and as such does not yet have a clearly defined professional terminology, or an exactly defined and unified program for teaching elements of technique. The main goal of this master thesis was to describe the elements of technique and list methodical exercises that can be used during teaching the basics of kiteboarding. Also, this thesis will describe the necessary conditions that the location of the kiteboarding school must meet, and the type of equipment used. Due to the location where this water sport is practiced (which is large in area) and dynamics of movement, the process of teaching the basics can be problematic. Namely, the instructor will not always be near the student to prevent if something goes wrong and the student is often alone. Therefore, beginners in this water sport are first taught theoretical knowledge about the characteristics of the wind and the location where the kiteboarding school is conducted. Then, the students get acquainted with the necessary sports equipment and ways of handling them. When they have completely mastered the above criteria, students can try to handle the kite on the ground, and afterwards on the water surface. It is in the first hours of teaching that teachers attach special importance to getting acquainted with sports equipment, because clumsy handling of sports equipment can end in injury. All of the above indicates that the effectiveness of the teaching process in this water sport primarily depends on the quality of the teaching program and the location where the school is conducted.
