Kitebud is very professional with a great emphasis on teaching students to be safe, independent kiters. Points of difference include the online videos being a great introduction and reference point for a beginner, the two way radio helmets making... communication clear during the lesson, and the instructors thorough knowledge and practical teaching skills. Sylvie is a great instructor, I left feeling much more confident and independent, thank you!read more

I recommend Kitebud for lessons and on-going support. Both Christian & Sylvie were excellent in their instruction and helped a 'not so young' student to transition from the 'dark side'! (although I do need to update my profile picture😜

Great support always ! I took lessons years ago and Christian is always available for helping to fix my gear, giving some tips, sharing good plans... That's highly appreciated, and again, well done for the website location guide. Unique and very... useful ! Arnaudread more

Huge thank you to Christian and the team at Kitebud. Highly recommend, the service was impeccable from the moment I booked my first lesson. They gave me invaluable theory via website with heaps of awesome tutorial videos all included. The focus on... safety was great, gave me complete understanding of my kite. The use of 2way headset in lessons made it a really great experience whilst in the water and helped speed up progression. I am so stoked with my 3 lessons, it was the best investment I have made to begin kiteboarding. Highly recommend to book a lesson if you want to brighten up your life. Keep up the amazing work and thank you again. Jay.read more

Highly recommend KiteBud! They made my learning experience enjoyable, fun & safe. I had my lessons with Sylvie - she‘s an excellent teacher with a lot of experience. There was a strong emphasis on good technique and safety. If I ever had trouble... with a new skill, Sylvie would suggest a different technique to help me master it. KiteBud use radio helmets so even when you’re out on the water there’s a reassuring voice telling you what to do (or not do!). The online videos really helped with the theory, which meant more time on the water during the lesson. Even after finishing my lessons, Sylvie & Christian offer tips & advice on the beach when I’m practising. Overall it was a very positive experience & now I’m hooked - thanks Sylvie & Christian!read more

I had 8 hours of lessons at Kitebud with Christian and am now competent to practice by myself, confidently! The style of teaching was professional with pre-lesson videos and recaps of previous lessons. Feedback during the lesson was fantastic with... the use of in helmet mics. After the lesson i was given access to pictures and videos of my lesson to see mistakes I was making as well as a "report card" of my progress. Fantastic experience and would definitely recommend Kitebud to anyone who was thinking about learning to Kite surf.read more

Knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructors who want to see you succeed! I was impressed by the use of video when out on the water to point out and correct my mistakes, as well as the post lesson feedback form, letting me know exactly my current... level. Kitebud knows how to progress you as a kiter!read more

Absolutely recommended!! These guys are very professional, they count with brand new equipment for the lessons, and also with helmets with radio enabled to receive instructions in the water. They also provide self study videos in order to maximize... the lesson time just kiting. Best option after reviewing all possible kite schools.read more

Definitely recommend KiteBud. Also the 12 hour package definitely worth it if you want to progress quickly. Equipment also very good with a good package deals.

I enquired about replacement lines and a problem with my kite / bar set up and Christian has been AMAZING in helping out FREELY giving advice including a very helpful video and offering solutions including discounts / offers on what I may have... needed but without being pushy at all. In the end, I found a solution that I wouldn't have without all his help and time and certainly without a whole lot of time wasting / missing out on kiting. Highly recommended. Thank you Christian and all at Kitebud.read more

I highly recommend Kitebud if you are thinking of learning to Kiteboard. They are by far the safest and quickest way to take up the sport, or even just to try it and see (like I did). I am now hooked. I do not think that you can safely, or... effectively learn to Kiteboard without lessons; the headset comms makes learning interactive and as quick and fun as possible. They supply all the gear. Make sure you watch their videos first then just roll up and enjoy. Christian and Slyvie are great instructors - friendly, informative and incredibly patient. Give it a go. Chances are you will love it.read more

Sylvie and Christian run a very polished school. The pre lesson tutorials and the post session videos set the school apart. Thank you for pushing and encouraging me. I have found my love of kiting! ?

Christian and Sylvie are fantastic, I have taken a very long time to learn as I wanted to learn at my own pace. Sylvie has been absolutely amazing, very patient and great at explaining what I need to do and most importantly how to do it. Even to the... point where she has come in the water with me so I can build my confidence up. I would recommend these guys to anyone especially us girls.read more

Had a great experience with Kitebud. Being a step by step learner Christian simplified each task to perform & patiently give me pointers along the way. When I struggled he encouraged me to keep going & on lesson 8 I got on the board & came on leaps... & bounds in lesson 9 & 10. Christian covered safety & self rescue which was 1st class & If I ever have trouble in the ocean Ive no doubt I can make it back to shore. Tutorials were a massive help before I even done a lesson. Highly Recommended Kitebud ???read more

I received a 3 x 2hr package from my partner for Christmas with Kitebud. I had no real kiteboarding experience except for a bit of time with a trainer kite. Sylvie took me through all the safety and preparation parts in the beginning. Like most... learners I just wanted to get on the board but the preparation paid off in a big way. I was on the board by the end of the second lesson......well I stood up and fell off a fair bit which isn’t that unusual. The good news was I was able to body drag back up wind and collect the board and safely return to shore. It turns out all the preparation is very important. Trust me after you stack it’s really reassuring that you can rescue yourself. By the end of the third session I was managing to get up and actually kite for about 50m ( well it felt like that anyway) and safely return to shore and land the kite. I was very happy with the gear and the tuition. Kitebud gets a big thumbs up from me and they have a great reputation in the kite surfing scene. The package of videos, kite gear, experienced instructors and top learning location was awesome. Thanks guys for providing such a positive learning experience. I’m hooked and already seeking out my kite to carry on with this addiction.read more

I had a lesson with Christian at Pinnaroo. He gave me great feedback and improved my riding and jumping ability within the hour. He also sent through video footage of the kiting session the same day which was helpful. I’d recommend him to others .

Christian at Kite Bud has created a great learning experience for me. After 4 two hour lessons, I am up on the board and away! Lots more to learn, but have a good handle on the basics. The online tutorials with Kite Bud, and the one on one tuition,... has made this a fun and fast learning curve. Thanks Christian. Greg Ferguson, Watermans Bay.read more

Had three lessons with Christian and was very impressed with the whole experience! His video's give a massive insight into what to expect and prepare for before the lessons. So you dont waste much time in getting to the practical side of things!!... Highly recommend! The whole experience was simplified and hassle free! Cheers Christian??read more

I would definitely recommend Kitebud. I started my lessons nervous and unsure how the lessons would be, due to a bad experience with kite lessons in Victoria. However, lessons with Kitebud were completely different. Christian was understanding,... patient and went at my own pace. Having the videos to watch before each lesson helped with having some basic knowledge before each lesson. All the equipment was high quality and having the helmet with speaker, so that he could direct and offer corrections in real time was helpful. An emphasis was placed on safety and helping you to progress to a level where you can go and continue learning by yourself.read more

I took 6 hours to learn the basics and am very happy with training. There's a lot of focus on safety and was glad I could practice a bunch of emergency procedures. The videos and web content available with the training save at least 1 hour of... training, maybe 2. They are of great value. Training can be done in French or in English.read more

I recently took hydrofoil classes with KiteBud and it went very well. Chris is connected with you at all time though the radio helmet. I was impressed by how professional he is, staying calm and clear while talking trough the radio, directly... pointing issues and how to correct them in real time. This pedagogy is the best for a fast and steady progression, while always feeling in a safe environment. I was able to foil within a few hours thanks to those high quality lessons. Thanks Chris, I will come back to learn more!read more

This was my first experience kitesurfing, I didn’t anticipate that I would enjoy it as much as I did and after finishing my 3 lessons I would highly recommend Kitebud for anyone interested in the sport. Christian was a great instructor, he was... patient and calm, he conducted himself in a professional manner and at all times I felt completely safe under his instruction. I have had the best experience and I now feel confident to practice and progress independently with the basics. Thanks, Christian!read more

Let’s face it, we live in a time where everything has to be done fast, easy and cheap. Unfortunately, the kite surfing lessons industry hasn’t escaped this trend. Newbies are being sold the dream of learning to kite in just a few hours, cruising around effortlessly on their boards, independent and safe.

The sad part is that most students, even those who wanted proper training, simply don’t realize that the product they actually bought is much closer to a kitesurfing experience rather than a good lesson. Don’t get me wrong, students getting a kitesurfing experience can have a pretty awesome time as well.

Lessons are oversimplified and the focus is put on getting on to the board quickly. The only way to achieve this is to skip (or go very quickly over) an impressive amount of fundamental skills. This, of course, is often done in shallow waters with constant assistance from the instructor.

As a result, the majority of students completing their lessons aren’t independent at all and need to be re-trained if they really wish to become genuinely independent kitesurfers.

The simplest way to evaluate the quality of your training is not to watch what the instructor says or does but to ask yourself what do you know and what are you competent at doing without the help of your instructor?

Through many years of re-training hundreds of students, I took notes of the most common knowledge and skills that were lacking from these under-trained kiters and would like to share this with everyone in my first blog post

The idea is to give students a comprehensive tool to self-assess the quality of their training as well as a tool to help them understand their strengths and weaknesses.

My ultimate hope is that schools offering kitesurfing experiences actually market their product as such and that schools offering average lessons up their game to offering good lessons.

Thanks for reading. As usual I’d love to hear from your experiences and get some feed-back.
