Ongelofelijk goede lessen gekregen van onder andere Nick, Richard en Abraham. Super chille gasten die goed weten wat ze doen. Een fijne manier hebben van les geven en je de tijd en ruimte geven. Waardevolle tips waardoor je snel doorgroeit. Uiteindelijk in 6 lessen zelfstandig upwind kunnen varen waar ik super trots op ben. Met vallen en opstaan een mooi proces doorlopen samen met deze 3 heren. Nogmaals bedankt! Ik raad u dan ook zeker aan om hier uw lessen te doen als u goed maar ook snel wilt leren kiten.

It was an excellent environment to learn. The instructors were patient, nice, helpful, kind and took there job very seriously. I can hardly recommend them and I myself will try to come back and keep learning with them. Thank you Nick, Abraham and Richard

De Kitesurf lessen van Richard mijn instructor waren altijd gezellig en leerzaam. Hij geeft rustig les zodat het goed te begrijpen is. Ik ben erg te spreken over zijn manier van les geven. Super goede uitleg en hij heeft veel geduld voor de student. Dit maakt dat je met vertrouwen leert kiten.

Richard heeft mij heel goed en prettig les gegeven. Van het opzetten van de kite t/m de waterstart. Echt een fijne instructeur. Zou zo weer bij hem lessen. Het deels ondiepe water is prettig, de waterranden minder en ruig maar de kiteschool instrueert goed en veilig. Echt mooi om te doen.

A friend and I took lessons with Richard and we were both very enthusiastic! The weather was great, but most of all, the teaching was. When something went wrong, Richard told us what went wrong if we hadn't understood it and waited patiently for us to solve the problem ourselves, with some much needed help here and there :) The atmosphere throughout the lessons was relaxed and we had a wonderful time, during which we focussed on basics so that we could quickly take steps that challenged us in the end and so that we were able to solve our own problems

We took an introductory lesson package (9 hours, 2 students, 1 instructor over three days) with Richard at NIX Kiteboarding in Curaçao. Everything was top notch! Richard was very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped substantially to increase my confidence in the water with kite and board. I was still working on my water start by the end, so would maybe recommend a 5 day package if you want to be more independent by the end. Otherwise, I would highly recommend if you are interested in learning how to kiteboarding.

I am always having a good time when im kiteboarding at Nix, Nice people and how they teach is pretty straight forward. I also like how they give instructions via walkietalkie that's connecties to your helmet

Richard weet veel van alles rondom het kiten! Je kan hem alles vragen. Zeer enthousiast en betrokken! Door hem ga ik vol vertrouwen en veilig het water op. Grote meerwaarde om het kiten veiliger te maken!

Richard is great in giving the big picture about kitesurfing including safety, windconditions, kitehandling and focus on the details for me which made me gradually improve my kitesurfing. Great learning!
