I am surprise and I am sad to rate so low but I have to sincerely value my experience. I did not like the course un general, I did not enjoy it and I did not feel comfortable during my 3-day course. It may be that my low level of English has influenced. The difficulty in understanding explanations and orders will have influenced. But it was not only language the problem. I am sad because I have not connected to the Kite Surfing, and I think the instructor has influenced it. I have to say that I am also an instructor of other sports, and that experience gives me a different perspective when I receive lessons. I have the ability to perceive when the instructor is really enjoying and is happy and loves what he does. That is not just mandatory and routine work. I am able to feel that energy, and in this course I have not found it. I think we all have the right to have good and bad days. But when you give lessons you have to try to get rid of everything and transmit good energy to your students, because they perceive it. And only when we enjoy ... We learn. I hope my criticism is constructive, I only do it with that intention. If it wasn't, I wouldn't worry about writing all this.

Just a random kiter to the area and gave Warren a ring to check on the local area and conditions. He immediately called me back, even though it was clear I wasn't interested in lessons or gear. Super friendly, walked me through the hazards and currents when I turned up. Did the same for a few other holiday travelers and happily lent out his pump. Really appreciate the time he spent with everyone, even though he could've been kiting or giving lessons/making money.
What an experience;) I spent the past three months in Nelson and had the time of my life! Fantastic spot to learn kitesurf and improve your skills! Flat shallow water and consistent winds guarantee the best experience! Very grateful to Warren, Wiebke and the all team for looking after me;) Not just wind and kite, Nelson is a beautiful town with loads to offer and there is plenty of hills, bays, caves and valleys to explore in no wind days! Go try it;)
Whether you're daring or trepidatious, young or old, Kitescool is who to learn from. They have a fantastic learning environment, with fun and safety at the forefront. You will not be disappointed in giving kitesurfing a go with Kitescool!
Wiebke is an awesome teacher. I had great success learning to fly under her guidance; the right balance of knowledge, modelling, feedback and encouragement. I purchased 3 lessons over a series of days and felt pretty well-prepared after that... perhaps one more to consolidate everything would be perfect! Thanks heaps for your patience. Cheers, Chris.
Perfect! After the 3rd kitesurfing school finally a kitesurfing school that taught us how to kite properly. We learned in the first 4 hours as much as at the previous kite school in one week. Wiebke is a great teacher with a lot of experience! If you finally want to kite properly you should come here. Super equipment and good atmosphere. Definitely to recommend.
What a wonderful team at kitescool! They’re all about fun and safety! Very friendly and helpful. Great teachers. Can certainly recommend them! 5 stars from me. Not sure what the one star review was about - he must of missed his coffee that day!
