Exceptional
John was absolutely stellar. He articulated all of the concepts well and demonstrated everything proficiently. He got me spun up and versed quickly and I’m certain I couldn’t have gotten more bang for my buck on the quality of instruction than I got from him.

Best spot to learn or improve
All the instructors were dope John went thru every detail of how to handle the kit before we did a body drag then got right onto the boards he wastes no time but is very patient. I had no prior experience snd it’s tough but so much fun! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Best kiting lesson I've had
John was an amazing instructor. He had interesting and differentiated tips/techniques, from how to handle the bar to board position, that made parts of kiting that had been hard for me in the past so much easier. I had been stuck, not getting the waterstart for a few lessons in a row, but with John's help I was able to waterstart right away and move on to the next stages of my learning: long runs standing up, kiting upwind, and even did my first transition. SoCal Kitesurfing is an incredible kite school - perfect location to learn, great equipment, very friendly instructors and staff. Bart and his team are the best. I look forward to more lessons with John and SoCal Kitesurfing in the future and highly recommend to anyone else who is new to learning the sport.

Awesome!
Had an amazing intro and training from John. Came prepared with basic on wind window and with experience flying dual line sport framed kite. The lesson was so good that by the end of it I were able to safely set up the kite, lines and bar, launch, land, fly, park and pack the kite. Highly recommended!

I took the 6 hours course and had the chance to spend all day with a great instructor. I learned a lot and the explanations were very clear. We went over security procedures that made me feel very safe. John was super encouraging and I had a lot of fun!
