Testemonies and Experiences with us …
“Daan is a fantastic instructor. Highlyrecommended for anyone who is currently in the beginner level and would like to learn and take their kitting skills to another level. Daan is first and foremost always looking after the safety of both the student and himself, while at the same time making the lesson informative and fun.”
Diego Lopez
“Great Kite Lessons! Daan is a fantastic teacher. He broke down the fundamentals of kiting into easy to understand lessons and ensured I understood each block of instruction before moving on to the next subject. Daan can identify specific issues of each student and help them learn how to correct them. This lead to rapid progression throughout the kiting lessons. I felt safe and had a blast the entire time!”
Thomas Stevenson

Maxim Milianoleon
“Excelente servicio! Me encantó el curso, excelente instructor Dan me ayudó a aprender muy rápido y de forma muy segura.”
Tomas Pinzon
“Cumplieron todas mis expectativas! Estoy muy contento y agradecido a la vez por toda la dedicación y empeño que Daan puso en mi para que yo lograra cumplir mis metas propuestas en las horas de práctica que tome. Tienen equipos nuevos, varias cometas dependiendo del viento. Ademas tienen radios que se usan con fines académicos y de enseñanza, los cuales hacen que el estudiante se sienta muy seguro a la hora de realizar los procedimientos en el mar. Daan es muy carismático y da una tranquilidad que resulta seguro realizar todos los procedimientos en el mar sin esperar ningún inconveniente. Les agradezco muchísimo, desde hace varios años estaba antojado de practicar este deporte hasta que lo cumplí. Espero volver muy pronto.”
