Alexander Gladchenko

Very good, friendly trainer! But rudimentary service, no impact vest offered (therefore injury but replacement for the lost days) Material not new as advertised on the website, ramshackle vehicles, tires driven through to the wires etc etc. However, my girlfriend's trainer could barely communicate in English and not convey the learning content. We wouldn't do it again.

I'm really glad I booked with Costa Kite. Alex was a great instructor with tons of experience who tailored the course to what would help me the most every step of the way. The school gear was very current and well maintained. The beach was beautiful and not crowded. The area was peaceful and safe. I am excited to take what I learned, build on it, and return to kite in Bahia Salinas one day.

Alex was very patient with me. He responded perfectly to my needs. With his calm but still cheerful nature he motivated me very much and brought me closer to the joy of kitesurfing. If you are looking for a super dedicated and competent trainer, you absolutely right with him.

Alex was an absolute legend who gave very clear advise and was super friendly. The conditions at baya salinas are particularly tricky but Alex helped with tackling some of the trickier moves I wanted to learn and made it seem easy

I am completely satisfied with this cource course in the Wind-extreme and can recommend it for everyone who wants to have a fast, deep and safe training . Personal thanks to coach Mikhail - he makes me ride a kite and train what to do in different difficult situations. Mikail is a high professional and confident trainer. I've finished the course with Alexander - friendly, positive and trouble free coach: he trained me to ride upwind and fast turning. School director Oleg hired for this season very professional team.

This location has perfect conditions for a beginner to learn kiteboarding - either in the shallow lake (liman) or in the Black Sea with a white sand beach, which also stays shallow for about 100m into the sea. The school is very well managed by the owner with great emphasis on the learner's safety. I was able to stand up and kite freely in 3 days.

Instructor Sasha worked with me and my 16-year-old daughter. We were very glad, that it was he who was our instructor. Sasha is benevolent, patient and talented. He explains at great length and repeats ones more until he is satisfied that everything is clear especially self-rescue skills. He praised us and hoped that the work would be done successfully. We would like to continue getting knowledges with Sasha the next year. Thank you very much for everything!

I believe that one's future engagement with any sport activity depends hugely on the first experience. I really enjoyed my course, and am keen to continue kiting in future, and I pay a big credit for it to Lex. He is not just passionate about the sport, but also about teaching and making sure his student gets the most out of each training hour. He's very knowledgeable and was providing with lots of tips, feedback, as well as support and encouragement. Lex was also very considerate of timing, would never idle during lesson, while willing to give a break if I needed to rest. Overall I'm very pleased with the kite school, all the staff is very friendly and supportive. I have no negative comments whatsoever! I would definitely recommend it for either beginners or those looking to improve their kite skills.

Kiteboarding - new stage in my life. Excellent IKO school in Mui Ne, safety and inspiration with school team. My instructor Lex (Sasha) - real professional. Helped me to overcome all my fears, to understand difficult theoretical aspects of kiteboarding with simple explanation. Many times encouraged and supported. He inspire me and encourage all times. That's why i will continue kiteboarding!
