Cours de kitesurf pour débutant
J'ai pris des cours de kite avec Tiago et son équipe (12h).
Ce fut une très bonne expérience avec une équipe au top. Tiago a beaucoup d'expérience, et n'hésite pas à prendre du temps pour repondre aux questions ou donner de bons conseils.
Équipe très positive et encourageante.

The trainer showed really inspiring teaching techniques and his feedback was on point and concise. Would have loved to practice teaching more but you can't decide when it's windy.
Reviewed 16 Jun 2019
Course was good but it was hard to concentrate when the trainer was himself constantly distracted by his phone/videos/setting up stuff. Those distractions interrupted the flow of teaching which was annoying especially considering how expensive the course is.

The theoretical part of teaching was way overdone, could have been explained in fewer pages. This is ironic, since IKO refers to KISS (keep it short and simple) several times.

I am very pleased with everything from organization to content to performance. I learned a lot of details and new angels of doing things. Good discussions and useful information and practice that was definitely helpful that made me even more inspired and committed to be the best kitesurfing instructor I can be. So well done and thank you. See u on the water around the world!

Our riding skills were not fully accessed because we almost didn't have wind. However, we have sent movies of all prerequisites, prior to the begginning of the course.
The only thing I've missed was to have more practice about kite and bars repair & maintenance.
Tiago is really pationate about what he teaches and clearly has a lot of experience - both about riding as well as business / management related.
