Thanks for the nice class !
It was my first time kitesurfing again after 10 years. Dominique was really relaxed and explained everything, also how to prepare your kite. He adjusted to my level of kitesurfing and gave good instructions from the beach. I did some bodydragging and learned again to feel comfortable with the kite. I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thanks a lot!

Great team, very nice and responsive people, very good teachers.
The only bad point was the helmets. They were all so worn out that some of them barely hold on the head, and even hurt the forehead.

I recommend PKS
The staff were really friendly, equipment was top notch, good selection, good instructors, main advantage is that they provide radio helmets, so you can get immediate feedback in the water.

Kitesurfing lessons PKS Tenerife
I had an amazing week in Tenerife and a big part of it was due to good kitesurfing lessons in PKS Tenerife school. I got so much good information about kitesurfing and although waves were pretty big thanks to my teacher I felt safe all the time.

Super instructeur!
Malgré des conditions de Kite difficile à Tenerife pour un débutant comme moi, Dominique a su m'apprendre de solides bases dans la bonne humeur et en sécurité. Dominique est méga motivé. Au dessus de tout ça, j'ai surtout apprécié me sentir à 200% en sécurité. Je sais que grâce à lui, je garderai toujours de bons réflexe de sécurité (garder les lignes en tension, self rescue, décollage de la voile). Merci encore à toi Dominique et à l'équipe PKS tenerife.

First time kiting
I am very pleased with teaching provided by Water Donkey kite school. Classes started with theory which was very well explained and the next day we went straight into the water. Equipment is very good although some of the swim suits were old and torn but it did not affect the experience. All teachers speak English and there were no problems with communication. Every day all students were phoned by the school crew with the information on what time they should be waiting for the transport - it worked very well. On the water there were 3 students, one instructor and one helmsman. Overall experience is superb. Classes were full of fan and laugh and after 4 days I managed to get level 4 certificate. I can really recommend this school to everyone who wants to learn how to kite surf :)
