Zoe Maginn

Zoe is an amazing instructor! So profressional, thorough, patient and encouraging! I felt confident that I was always in very good hands. I enjoyed learning the theory behind kitesurfing and appreciated Zoe's clear explanations. The location Zoe teaches at in Rangiputa is magical, and being in that environment made it easier to do the sometimes long hours necessary to get over my teething problems. My husband and I had 'learnt' kitesurfing overseas and it came apparent that we had massive gaps in our knowledge. Zoe was very kind as she helped us unlearn our bad habits... and then graciously and thoroughly taught us the safe IKO way. I appreciated her honesty when it came to pointing things out that needed pointing out. And she did it in such a way that it was humorous, and so much easier to swallow. It made the learning fun. With Zoe's unwavering encouragement and guidance my husband and I, with much satisfaction, got to the level we were after. We highly recommend going to Rangiputa and enjoying having wonderful Zoe as your instructor!

Zoe and Bernie were very welcoming and friendly! The atmosphere is relaxed but at the same time safety is strictly adhered to. The kite school spot is the perfect place for beginners. Had a great time thank you!

I've now had 3 lessons with Airzone here in the Solent, the first one was a joint lesson and the other 2 were one on one. Both formats worked for me and I enjoyed it and learned a lot. I'm getting the hang of flying the kite now but I still struggle with getting up on the board. I think I struggle with having both feet strapped to one board. For example, I really struggled with Ski Boarding but I'm a good skier having worked as a ski guide for 2 seasons. I find I'm having the same issues. Nothing wrong with the teaching, it's me! I enjoy windsurfing but I think the restrictions of not being able to move my feet independently is an issue for me. I'm determined to overcome it, looking forward to my next lesson when I'm going to go further than the 20 or so meters I've managed so far!

Highest recommendation. Great instructors, great location. I hope to be able to be back for more.
