I am very satisfied and impressed with the level of knowledge and skill that Christian was able to convey clearly and constructively in such a short three hours. I really enjoyed the in depth approach and step by step learning breakdown He employs teaching the fundamentals and levels of importance of each aspect of kiteboarding. I really wish I could have done a second session the next day to be able to take what I’ve learned through the end of the entry learning process while it was so fresh but my schedule dictated otherwise. Nonetheless I feel very well situated to continue learning and moving into kitesurfing as soon as I am able. I was provided with much more material, tutorial videos, in person lesson videos and coaching notes than I expected to get and the level of attentiveness was top notch. I highly recommend Kitebud to anyone looking to actually learn to kitesurf and begin with a solid set of fundamentals and good habits to build on as well as an informed understanding of the mechanics and dangers of the sport and how to mitigate them as best as possible.

Can highly recommend Christian at KiteBud for those looking to get into Kitesurfing. My Kiting journey began with another “school” out on the river. After a couple of lessons, I really didn’t feel safe or confident out there as the TWO different instructors barely touched on the safety/ self-rescue side of things. Most things were demo’d rather than practiced which definitely wasn’t ideal. At that point I decided to look elsewhere for some lessons and was recommended I contact KiteBud. I’m glad I did! It was a completely different experience and by the end of the first lesson I felt much more confident in managing myself out on the water! Christian was very knowledgeable, thorough and communication out on the water was great with use of his radio helmets. Overall I had a great time learning to kitesurf with KiteBud and will definitely be sending others their way! Thanks again

I booked a couple of refresher lessons with Kitebud to get me up and running after some initial lessons late in the previous season 9 months earlier. I genuinely could not have been happier. Kitebud have all the toys with in-helmet radios, new equipment and some light wind kites that had me flying before anyone else. But most of all, the commitment to safety, level of knowledge and attention to detail is such that I wish I had gone to Kitebud the previous season for my initial lessons. Anyone wondering if Kitebud is as good as everyone says – they are!!

If you are interested in learning how to become an independent and safe Kitesurfer then look no further than the Kite Bud school. Christian lives and breathes Kitesurfing and always provides clear, concise instructions with seemingly never ending patience. I learned the hard-way that not all Kite schools teach the independent part of Kitesurfing on top of learning to ride the board e.g. setup/pack-up, launch/land, reading the wind/other kiters, emergency procedures, board retrieval etc, all of which you will learn at Kite Bud. I’ve still got a lot to learn in this sport so look forward to booking some more lessons as well as getting out there on my own now I have the confidence thanks to the lessons at Kite Bud.

Really good kitesurfing experience with Chris from Kite Bud. I felt very safe learning with them. He takes the time to explain everything to you but also adapt the lesson to your level. They have excellent gear, very new and even a Truck for light wind conditions 😉
Jaerus Croskery –
The best kitesurfing lessons I have done. Progressed a lot faster then I expected. Definitely recommend checking them out if your thinking of doing lessons. Great instructors and location.
Chris Chivers –
I have on managed to get 2 lessons before we left Perth. (Traveling around Australia) I found Christian to be very competent and straight up with information and feed back that I required to go forward. I was most impressed with his safety focused training as using a kite on a busy beach could be extremely dangerous if not considering all of the elements around you. I am disappointed that I will not be around Perth to finish my kiteboarding tuition here in Perth.
