Maciej Wadolowski

The course was very comprehensive and interesting. Even though we had a lot of theory, practice and homework I got all answers for all my questions on the way and within every day I felt progress, more understanding and confidence. Also while having practice with real students Maciej was always ready to support and explain. His experience was invaluable, real gem. I'm excited to start giving lessons and use all what I've learned.

Maciek is a great instructor. The calmness with which he imparts knowledge, his comprehensiveness, and the confidence he exudes provide a sense of security and guarantee success. He can ask questions when he sees doubts, support in every situation, and you can feel that he has a lot of experience because he notices things and situations that I, as a student, might not have thought of during the lesson. I felt taken care of from A to Z. I wholeheartedly recommend him

Hello! I have learnt a lot about how to teach and how to keep students+everyone safe while teaching. Our examiner, Maciek, has done a brilliant job overall in teaching us how to teach! It was a good location, to set up and practice teaching at the lagoon. It would have been nice to learn how to teach at places with shore break too. We did discuss it in theory, but doing in in practice would have helped too (mentioned the same to the examiner).

Maciej is a thoroughly professional and encouraging examiner, teacher , instructor and I am glad I did my courses with him . Surfpoint is a fantastic school ,Peter was extremely helpful throughout the process, before and after .

It was a great experience for me I learnt many new things and the examiner was very responsive and always willing to help us and clear our doubt and was not lazy he explain everything clearly and by demonstrating, he always kept a positive vibe around us . The environment of the resort was really peaceful and relaxing which helped us focus , the staffs were very friendly and the kiteschool had everything we wanted . Overall awesome teacher and place!!!

I felt safe and well kept up fron the beginning. My teacher was very patient with me and - with showing me different technics - gave me the perfect tools to learn kiting as fun, safe and easy as possible! Unfortunately, I could not finish the course, as I was sick on the last day, but I will for shure continue as I enjoyed it, especially thanks to my teacher, a lot and had great fun! Thank you!

Maciek was a fantastic instructor, relaxed and very knowledgeable, I felt at ease and safe learning to kitesurf. He gave excellent feedback, explaining why things were happening, meaning I was able to adjust and learn quickly. I felt we progressed well and at the same time had lots of fun - thanks Maciek!

It was a really great course and I learnt so much. Unfortunately we didn't have enough wind but we still did what we could when it was light wind. I had a great instructor, our group was already really experienced so I got to learn a lot from everyone.

The course took place at the Banana Kitę base in Poland on the Hel Peninsula. I must admit that it was the first time I had contact with such an advanced theoretical course. The amount of knowledge, regulations and standards was very wide. People from Poland and other nationalities took part in the course. The course was a challange, really educative and, importantly, conducted in English. My personal feelings: I am an Instructor with many years of practical experience, I have worked hundreds of hours with beginner, advanced and freestyle students, I personally conducted a Kitesurfing Instructor course for a Polish organization. I was surprised how many issues are discussed on the topics of: safety, meteorology and physics. The knowledge was very extensive and for slow learners (like most kite students) complicated. I felt overwhelmed by the amount of material and had difficulty staying focused, which is a huge problem these days. I understand that a lot of smart people devoted time and energy to creating the course manual, but in my opinion simplifying the issues or spreading the material over a longer period of training, e.g. online, would be a good idea. I missed creative cutscenes, movement exercises or longer rest breaks. I think that much more time can be devoted to the practical, relaxing and exercise part. In my opinion, the methodology also lacks a certain consistency and result, but this is a topic in which many views flow. The lecturer Maciej is very experienced and involved, often exchanging views with the participants. Banana base prepared and equipped in a cool atmosphere. The knowledge gained during the course is very useful, expanding horizons and allowing you to look at your workshop from a different perspective.

The course really helped me to expand my knowledge about all aspects of kitesurfing and teaching . Our examiner Maciek is a fantastic teacher , extremely professional and has a great attitude towards his students . I will highly recommend Banana kite and surf school to everyone. I am very happy that I chose this course and Maciek as examiner .
