Jeffro Rothenberg

Jeffro is truly a joy to learn from and work with. He's taught me all the knowledge and skills I need to be a successful kiteboarding instructor. When I struggled with anxiety teaching my first student, he encouraged me and helped me overcome my worries. He approached every situation with a wealth of knowledge and an open mind

I wouldn't be the kiter and kiteboarding instructor I am today without Jeffro. His level of knowledge, patience, and kiteboarding skills is a treasure to our community. I had some (unfounded) anxiety about teaching my very first student, but Jeffro gave me the support and reassurance I needed to make every lesson an amazing one!

Enjoyed learning with Torin. Wealth of knowledge and a great resource. Can't control the wind, but Urban Surf was very fair about charging for time when the wind died or there was a lull. Highly recommend

I had a lesson with Torin. Torin was positive and very animated the entire time (in a good way). Torin was very knowledgeable and was able to spit out his kite information in a very clear way. Overall I had a great time, increased my confidence drastically and wanting to get back out there again.

Jeffro was great, and very dynamic, he kept the course momentum going at a good pace. There were never a dull moment. All the itc candidates were great too. This was a very instructing experience. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to improve my skills.

Loved the training, it was low anxiety and high levels of fun. They were able to adapt to my pace and teach in a way that made it easy to pick up. Definitely looking forward to continuing with lessons until I’m ready to fly solo!

Jeffro was an amazing instructor trainer, he kept everything very profesional and interactive, always helping us with any questions and guiding us through the whole curse so we could learn and remember all the most important aspect about teaching this sport in the most safe way posible.

I was very pleased with my IKO instructors course. Jeffro has a university degree in education and he is very knowledgeable on kiteboarding and on teaching methods, we were lucky to have him as an examiner. Due to a lack of wind there a couple of riding things that I could not complete but our instructor simply asked us to submit a video as soon as we can. I would recommend this course to others. I enjoyed it and felt it was worth the money and effort.

Jeffro was a fantastic instructor, he made the course very entertaining and enjoyable yet transmitted so much knowledge (technical and practical). His experience teaching and passion for the subject was very inspiring and encouraged us a lot.

Jeffro is an excellent teacher/examiner, and has a very comprehensive and fair methodology of teaching the course. Jeffro is an amazing communicator, he relays Information in a very positive and enthusiastic manner, ensuring that his students absorb and retain each key point of each topic. My IKO experience with Jeffro was amazing, and I am hoping to take more advanced training from him in the future.
