We had an amazing time with our instructor! He was extremely kind and jovial for the entirety of our two days with him. The 3 of us came into these lessons with no experience and felt like we learned so much in a short period of time. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to try out kite surfing for the first time!!

The hours of learning with Rashid Issa are I think the best basics that I could be taught. Learning a new sport like Kitesurfing at 50 is a challenge. Rashid's pedagogy gave me confidence and I always felt safe. I intend to continue my education. Thanks Rashid!

Rachid was a very good teacher allowing me to understand the basics of kitesurfing and be able in few days to ride on the water. It was a thriving experience and a great exchange. Enjoy it all the way

Extremly nice kitesurf spot, very kind and supportive staff and instructors with licens, a lot of experience, knowledge and good mood. I recommend this instructor and this school for beginners and advancers. Kitesurf, Kitesurf, Kite- and Wingfoil. Go for it!

The kitesurf school has a great vibe and good equipment. We had lessons from Rashid, he was really helpful and took the time to teach my brother and I how to control te kite, the board and at the end the combination of both. I am really happy about the way Rashid teached us from the beginning to the end. Great experience! Thank you!

Rachid was our kite instructor, we had a very good time. He takes his time to explain how the kite works, takes us into the water with the safety instructions. Had a good time, and we made it on the waves, in the wind on the kite board!! Many thanks to Rachid!
