Christophe is very professional, while keeping it fun and safe, all moves between the kite and the board are clearly explained.
The location in Crandon Park is also the perfect place to learn with shallow water on sand bars, and hot and clear water.

Christophe's ranking as an instructor of instructors is well-justified!
Christophe's approach was genial, in both the English and French senses of the word. When I was unable to relaunch after a yard sale, he noticed that my right rear line had looped on itself, shortening that line. Some deft work to get it undone, and my session was prolonged. No walk of shame!

I feel that some info provided by the course is interesting and is outside of general public's knowledge - for example meteorology and aerodynamics sections and I would have liked to have a more in-depth look at that. Examiner did a good job explaining the concepts but I think IKO can allocate more space for these topics in exchange for allocating less space for common sense ones.
Some of the things I found inefficient are the abbreviations used for so many common sense concepts. Abbreviations rarely help you to remember the longer form - more often than not they are one extra random abstract thing that you now need to remember only to connect to a common sense concept that would not require any memorization. For example I know what an inflatable kite is I know what a leading edge is I don't need any extra memorization tools - it's an obvious concept for anyone who can kite, but LEI I had to work hard to memorize. SEA? Ok sea is a t least a word so abbreviation is easier to swallow but the 3 words it stands for are not easy to recover and they are not clearly defining what's important. It's obvious that you need to evaluate both the weather conditions and the location for obstacles etc. It's enough to present some examples of things that make teaching harder (which is already covered) - no need to strain one's memory with SEA.

Getting Started
Miami Kiteboard school was a great place to get my boys and I started in kiteboarding. I had a little experience before going there, and my two boys had none. I was able to purchase all of the gear needed, some used and some new. Along with purchase they included some lessons for the boys. I was able get supervision by instructor on a jetski to make sure that I was safe until I got the hang of it again. Great location and school.

Miami Kiteboarding is the best place to take lessons in Miami. The instructors are always very knowledgeable. All equipment is great. There is a sandbar conveniently located close to the shop. Therefore, it is very easy to learn and practice. The entire staff is great. The manager Franco is very personal and accommodating. Christophe, the owner, is very experienced in teaching kitesurfing. He is avid about the kitesurfing and one of the top certified examiners in IKO worldwide.
An amazing experience!!!

ATC + ITC Course
A+ Great Course. I was extremely happy with my course. I had limited time due to work commitments, my instructor Christophe was able to fit in the ATC + ITC in short time while keeping the course very professional and knowledgeable. I was extremely pleased when I found out that Christophe still ran the course with small numbers due to candidates unable to make it due to injury. He could have postponed the course but knew I had already booked my flights. Over all the location, course, people and Christophe’s team are one of the best kite boarding experiences I ever had.
