Best two days ever!
I've been wanting to learn to kitesurf for a while now and I am so glad I chose to learn with Zenith Kiting. My instructor built up my skills and confidence so I felt safe and in control at all times. I'm officially addicted.

One word — awesome
Matty took me through a 9 hour course over 3 days. I never expected to go from absolutely nothing to Level 3 in just 9 hours, but somehow Matty made me progress super quickly.

Just amazing
I'd spent 3 hours at another centre one-to-one and just couldn't get it. Went to Matty and he pushed me to finally get up on the board. Fantastic instructor and amazing all-round guy.

Serious progression
Went from mowing the lawn to pops, toeside transitions, down loop jibes and jumps in 3 hours. Very clear instructions, demos and lots of encouragement.
