Mario Garcia Diaz

4 hours of training with KTS. Daniel communicates really good and has been searching for optimal conditions for me to learn how to kitesurf. I have had private lessons and in the end I have been able to learn the beginnings of kitesurfing during 2 days. Mario teaches really good and does it based on the progress I had made. During day 2 I have been able to start with the board in the water. I really enjoyed the courses and the support from KTS. When I am back in Tarifa, I will go to KTS! Thank you guys!

Great experience,lots of learning in a trustful environment and always seeking improvement in a positive way. I would recommend to IKO to cross check consistency between videos/theoretical exam and manual since we identified some minor mistakes (misalignments).

En cuanto al material estoy muy contento porque pude probar varios cometas y tenían un equipo variado para cada situación, pero pienso que con una radio hubiera podido aprender más porque me podrían dar más indicaciones desde tierra. En general los profes de la escuela también se fijaban y te daban algunos consejos. Me hubiera gustado no cambiar de profesor el segundo día aunque la verdad es que estoy más contento con el profesor del segundo día que incluso entraba en el agua para ayudarte que con el del primer y el tercer día que estaba permanentemente en tierra.

Sería deseable realizar un demo con kite´s de diferentes shapes (aerodinámica), no solo en teoría, si no mas bien en la practica. Desarrollar mas los temas y detalles de meteorología.

Good evening, my AITC course has been amazing. Mr Mario Garcia covered so many topics in such a complete and detailed way that it definitely improved a lot my knowledge. Lots of topics are now very clear, thanks to his explanations which were extremely professional, detailed and confident at the same time. Also live teaching practices with real students have been assisted by Mr Garcia everytime, with a close following of every single step in the discovery course, improving a lot my way to communicate with students. This experience has been way more than expected, I have to say that IKO standards are probably the most professional in the world of pro instructors. Thanks!

I'm very grateful to my IKO instructors for such a wonderful course of kite surfing I had this summer in Tarifa, Spain. I had a lot of fun, could achieve at least intermediate level and, of course, had a lot of fun.

Was having doubts whether to have the course or just do the assistant part but AITC course completely made me change my mind, a lot of information, but well structured plus putting everything in practice, i figured is something i really useful and i need it if i want to be an instructor

We took a beginner course of 12h with a friend in tarifa and I think the best summary of the week holds in 3 words : so much fun! Great lessons, amazing people, fun bar-time after the Course, we managed to hold a few seconds of the board, which was our goal for this course, but more especially we discovered a really really cool sport! Could totally recommend it !

KTS in Tarifa, Spain was extremely professional. Their instructors are kiteboard instructor instructors. As a professional ski instructor, I've taken many lesson and found KTS to be among the best in the world.
