Tropical storms shut off our winds, but the entire experience gave me confidence and belief that I will be mowing the lawn at my control. Super experience by true professionals that love their work and all their clients. Keep it up lads.

a slice of heaven
This place is magical in every sense. Jonathan Dodds is literally one of the best kite instructors in the world and his team is exceptional. Kiting in Cabarete is very challenging, but Jonathan makes sure you feel very safe and comfortable. If you’re not into kiting, the bar and restaurant are awesome. The food is absolutely incredible (very fresh, great ingredients, perfect execution) and the music and people create a one-of-a-kind experience. My favorite spot in Cabarete. Highly recommend it.

Epic Kite location
Jon Dodds and Jerson were both amazing. Jon made sure that every part of our trip was exciting and kept educating us and giving us tips. His kite club was an awesome spot to hang out and chill. The food was amazing and reasonable priced. Overall great hospitality. Jerson my trainer was patient and a great teacher. He paid close attention to my kiting and gave me great tips to help me progress. With Jersons help I quickly became a level 3 kiteboarder. Would love to spend more 1 on 1 time with Jerson in the future.

Love this place, love this school, love the trainers!
I went here to pick up the beginnings of Kite Boarding again with a friend of mine who is just getting into the sport. He found the place and I went along for the ride, and am I happy I did! The service here for kiteboarding was very professional and laid back at the same time. If you Kiteboard, then you know wind can be a fickle thing, the lessons were able to be adapted to be more on days with good wind and less/or none on days when there wasn't wind, or just bad wind. We were able to get all of our hours in and a bit more for practice, I was sufficiently worn out by the end of lessons and ready for a drink from the bar right next to the shop, which was right next to our hotel! I recommend this place wholeheartedly and cannot wait to go back for more!

Great Kitesurfing experience for beginner
It was my 3rd time getting lessons in different locations. This was by far my best experience and I learned so much in 10 hours compared to my first two times. Jerson at Kite club Cabarete is the best instructor you you can wish for... So patient and attentive he makes you feel confident and at easy with this intimidating sport when you start. The Kite Club is a great spot to learn easy to go downwind without getting in trouble as you can just walk back upwind on the beach with you instructor saving a lot of time and spending more time in the water practicing. I was finally able to start and ride short distances for the first time ! I no longer want to quit this sport and can't wait for my next vacation at Kite Club to continue my progression. Food is also really good at the Kite Club and ALL the staff is so friendly. It was truly a great vacation !

My husband and I took our lessons together - which between the assistant instructors and fully qualified instructors allowed us each with 1:1 attention. We both felt that 3 days of lessons is a bit optimistic in terms of being able to kite independently, however we are inspired to continue in our learning. Had the wind cooperated, we would've done a couple of "supervised" sessions after our 3 day package.

He managed time wisely to keep us on track, adjusted for slower students, and accommodated our needs/deficiiencies. His people skills are over the top - kind, patient, empathetic, and always professional. I feel blessed and grateful that he has chosen this path so that he is now part of my kiting journey - a journey that has changed my world. Also, even with all that he has going on, he was always available and offered to help in the future with my goals and aspirations. That means a lot to me. Thank you.

The real student teaching and the practice evaluation (self-rescue, self-landing, self lounching) have been poorly organisised. They could have been described in the details before the lessons.

We had two trainers Ivan and Jon. Jon was a real role model: able to explain complex topics in a very easy to understand way, positive with students and assistants, calm and in control. The part taught by Jon was very satisfying. Ivan, who’s training to become an assistant trainer, was visibly stressed, unprepared in a lot of topics and not able to clarify tricky concepts. With the students Ivan had a very straightforward approach and made the students and assistants uncomfortable. He was not very organized on the lesson plan and not clear on explanation on the tasks to be accomplished. I understand this was the first assistant trainer course he did, which might have caused the stress, however he came across restless ans stressed.

I can't say enough about Jon and the team at Kite Club Cabarete. I had the most amazing few weeks doing my instructors course and learnt so much. Jon is an amazing teacher and I feel like 10 times the kiter I was before the course. Looking forward to teaching this amazing sport to many people in the future. Thanks Jon

He also has an easy going personal style that makes him quite likeable. Jon is a great instructor with a real interest seeing you succeed. I highly recommend Jon as a trainer.
