Lots of fun and 100% satisfaction
What a great time I had during this training. It was my first time with the kite at all. I was surprised by how much I was able to learn during these lessons. Awesome instructors! very friendly with high teaching skills. I didn't have my own equipment but it was not a problem. I really enjoyed the spot as well. The most important thing for me is that I would like to back here and continue with the next lessonss. I really enjoyed this time. Thank you very much you are the best!

Really helpful, and thorough teaching. Had several months gap from kiting and the conditions here were very different, so needed to have some review sessions to get back up to speed. Found all the staff to be friendly, helpful and encouraging. Maciek was great and clear with his instructions. Would highly recommend.

Good instructor!
The first time I went into the waves I crashed a few times and was not feeling comfortable at all, even a bit scared. Then I changed instructor and Majiec tutored me. In a few hours I felt comfortable enough to go in the waves and wasn't scared anymore. My English isn't that good but Majiec ensured that I understood everything. He has a lot of kitesurf knowledge and I trusted him. Thanks a lot for the great lessons!

Best instructor ever!
I started my kitesurfing course a year ago in Vietnam with Maciek. We only had lessons for few hours till the wind dropped and couldn't continue, thou he gave me solid background to further practice. I tried to continue the course with several different instructors later on, but I still couldn't quiet get it right, till I met up with Maciek again in Poland, where he runs his own kite school! Even one hour with him was precious and taught me a lot! I finally corrected my position on kiteboarding and went upwind! I strongly recommend Banana Kite and surf school and Maciek W. as a kite instructor - there's no one better!

The instructor did a great job of giving me space to learn and experiment while still being available if required. This was especially beneficial while instructing the student. On teaching session I was given the free reign to mess up ( my timing was off and skipped a step or two) and was given feedback and advice during the debriefing. After that the second lesson went much smother. I think this worked way better for me then if the instructor had been constantly correcting during the lesson. I feel very well prepared to start instructing after the course.
Reviewed 10 Nov 2018
My personal experience was all in all very good but one thing was not good at all: reading as homework the next day is okay as we prepare and get already a bit of knowledge but doing quiz on it is really not productive as I was so frustrated not knowing most of it. I felt it was demotivating me rather than the opposite.

Banana Kite and Surf review
At the beginning I was a little bit afraid of taking Kitesurfing course, but my friend convinced me to do so. He told me some good things about Banana Kite and Surf school so this was my first and last choice. I turned out I chose best. In nice attitude (because each of school members are kind and have impeccable manners) they showed me everything I needed to know to begin our lessons. Even though I am not the best in sports they thought me greatly and I stood on the board in two-days time. I am really happy my friend told me about this school and I can easily recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great adventure with fine atmosphere.

I enjoyed course a lot! It helped me to deepen my knowledge, cover all the blanks in teaching methods, aerodynamics, meteorology and general kite education) Organisation was awesome and atmosphere while the course in BananaKite was suuuuper pleasant, friendly and loose though the grafic was tight with loads of information and practice. Maciek turned out to be amazing assistant trainer - open-minded, highly kite-educated, always smily with plenty of examples from his experience, video demonstration (especially of meteo-fronts!), simple in explaining complicated things and keeping the things tightly organised according to the changeable wind conditions. To cut a long story short, course was awesome! Already looking forward to instructor course!
