Testimonials
We wouldn’t want you to just take our word for it, so here are a few of the wonderful things others have said about this service…
Thanks Dave and Dan for a cracking morning on the boat. After a fun day with my son on the buggies last week it felt good to be back in/on the water. thanks for your patience and wise words. Really felt like I made progress beyond what I could have hoped for. Loved it. If you could just arrange for the weather to be like that every time!
A big thank you to David and Dan for a great one to one lesson recently.
I think that I learnt a lot from the session. Importantly, I feel that I have regained my confidence in the water.
As a result of the lesson, I know that I am able to crash and let the bar go and then be able to relaunch the kite. I can body drag back upwind to recover the board and start and ride in either direction.
I was able to ‘park’ the kite and hold an edge to track across the wind for some distance!
I know that I need to be less aggressive with flying the kite especially right foot forward but this will come with practice.
Launching from the boat and being able to spend so much time in deep water was key to my progress. Not having to trudge back up the beach and waste energy was a big plus too.
What worked most for me was having you both watching and filming what I was doing and shouting instructions through the megaphone!
So, thank you both once again for an excellent morning.
