Kitesurfing Lesson Reviews!

I had a great time learning to Kitesurf with Sylvain. He had me up kitesurfing in just 3 private lessons thanks to his coaching. He gave me plenty of time to fly the kite with drills to get used to it and that made all the difference when it came time to give the board a go! Highly recommend. Thanks!

Just had my first lesson with Sylvain and can highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting lessons and taking up kite surfing. He is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and tailors the lesson to make sure you are confident before moving onto the next exercise. I got the lesson as a present and have booked in for my next lesson this week.

Sylvain is a great instructor, he is patient a fun during all the lessons, I would recommend him 100% for anyone who wants to learn how to kitesurf.

Amazing lessons, incredibly helpful, and so much patience throughout. I really enjoyed every session and would definitely recommend learning kitesurfing with Sylvain!

Yesterday, I had my first kitesurfing lesson, where the instructor was Sylvian Duibis.It was an amazing experience and a fantastic lesson. I never thought the wind could be such a fascinating force. Sylvian communicates his knowledge perfectly and is truly a very understanding and patient person.

Thanks to his guidance, I gradually started to control the kite and feel the joy of this adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something exciting — it’s sport and learning in one.

I can’t wait for the next lesson. There is power, there is joy.

Sylvian, thank you for your time and knowledge.

Sylvain is a great instructor, i did three lessons so far and theyve all been excellent ! Highly reccomend

Sylvain is a great coach! Patient, professional, and fun. Thank you for helping me progress so quickly!

I started with Sylvain last year and he’s been my instructor for over a year now. Here’s 5 reasons to think about hooking up with him as an instructor: 1) he’s patient so you can learn at your own pace 2) he helps you gradually master the fundamentals so you can piece them all together to get kite surfing for real 3)He’s a very good communicator before, during and after the lesson telling you what you done right so you can build on that, 4) he’s got lots of gear including wetsuits, so your upfront investment is the lesson and that’s pretty much it and 5) he’s a super nice guy who makes it fun and is passionate about getting his students kite surfing safely and with confidence.

The lesson with Sylvain was absolutely amazing! He was very patient and considerable, explaining everything in details during the lesson and even provided videos with feedback for each video afterwards! I’ll definitely go for more lessons with him!

Had my first kitesurfing lesson with Sylvain in Sutton last week and it was brilliant. He’s very experienced and knowledgeable — you can feel that straight away. I really appreciated the strong focus on safety: before even going near the water, we spent time on wind conditions, understanding how kites work and practicing with smaller kites. By the time we moved into the water with the full kite, I felt confident and prepared (though definitely needing lots more practice!). All the equipment was provided and was top quality. One lesson down and three to go — highly recommended for anyone looking to learn properly from an excellent and patient instructor.

My girlfriend and I did a three hour Kitesurfing lesson in Sutton with Sylvain; it was a great and novel experience with Sylvain demonstrating how to fly the kite properly. We then entered the sea, in a shallow area, where we both enjoyed the thrilling sensation of being dragged by the kite.

I couldn’t recommend this activity higher as it’s unique and thrilling, while also v safe.

Sylvain is a great teacher of Kite surfing 😊🪁🏄‍♀️I got a lesson from my boyfriend as a Christmas present 🎁💕, and we did it together in summer. I didn’t know anything about kitesurfing before, but Sylvain explained us everything so in detail with lovely smiles 😊✨ We learned how to fly a kite for the first few hours which is very difficult for the first timers. No matter how many times we dropped the kite, Sylvain was very patient and helped us fly the kite again which was very kind of him😊✨ At the end of the lesson, he let us fly the kite in the shallow beach and we enjoyed the small surfing that was very fun😁 I recommend anyone who likes to challenge some new adventures 😊💪 Merci, Sylvain🙏✨

I did four lessons with Sylvain and really appreciated his calm and clear teaching style. He explains things really well and gives you space to practice while also stepping in with helpful advice. The lessons were great fun and well-paced. I now feel confident with water starts and I’m getting more comfortable with the sport each time I’m out. Wouldn’t hesitate to book more lessons with Sylvain. 10/10 would recommend, excellent teacher!

I booked 4 semi-private lessons with Sylvain and I am glad I did. He is a very good teacher. His ability to show me each step and clearly explain where I went wrong is exceptional. He is patient with practice when needed. He even provided guidance when I was shopping for my own equipment. I feel much more confident about kitesurfing after training with Sylvain.

Thank you very much Sylvain!
Took a few lessons with you now and it’s super easy and Sylvain is super flexible especially when the weather is trying to play tricks on you!
He gives great advice and always knows what to look for. Kiting is as far as I know a lot about feeling how your kite behaves and getting a feel for the wind and water.
Sylvain is able to teach you to get that feel for it!
It’s a great learning environment and you can make big progress with Sylvain from learning how to fly the kite to zooming across the water!!
Would definitely recommend and will take more lessons myself with him very soon hopefully!

Sylvian is 10 out of 10 instructor , from flying the training kite on beach to that moment you are gliding solo along the water,he gives great advice on what is the best and safest practice to build into your routine. Excellent equipment could not recommend him highly enough…definitely go for the 4 lesson package, as there is a lot to learn, he also helps out with knowledge on getting your own kite surfing gear purchased ..if you want lessons on a 1 to 1 basic..he is your man…enjoy

Sylvain is an amazing instructor, he helped me progress really quickly and had great drills to help me improve on my weak points. Couldn’t recommend him more.

10/10 kitesurfing lessons with Sylvain! He helped me improve my skills, take my first steps toward becoming an independent kitesurfer, choose my first gear, and connect with local kitesurfers.

Took a first lesson with no prior experience. Sylvain was very knowledgeable and a great teacher, safety was no. 1. All the equipment was top quality, he has a lot of gear to make sure you’ve the right setup for the wind speeds on the day. Gained a lot of confidence in kite control within 2 hours

Great session with Sylvain, he quickly assessed my ability and what I needed to do to progress, safely and quickly.
Excellent instructor, highly recommended!
Great session with Sylvain. Clear communication and adapts the pace of the lesson for your level well. Would recommend!
I have done 4 lessons with Sylvain now and I couldn’t recommend him more. He is very nice and a great teacher, I have learnt a lot in a very short time and I am delighted with how everything is gone so far.

First lesson today with Sylvain. I had no experience and no idea what to expect. Absolutely amazing 3 hours and already have booked my second lesson. Highly recommend Sylvian and to give it a go.
Great lesson with Sylvain, he is a great teacher and communicator and the lesson was well structured starting with safety, kite handling on training kite before using larger kite in the water. Practiced controlling large kite and then progressing to water starts. Used walkie talkie attached to helmet to give instructions which was smart. Really enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend. 5/5 definitely 👍

Sylvain was a great instructor, gave helpful hints and instructions the whole time. Safety was always a big priority and it was great to learn how to kite surf in a week 👌

I did 4 lessons with Sylvain over the span of multiple weeks. To be fair, I did some lessons years ago already, but after these 4 Iessons with Sylvain I was finally able to not just stand but also go upwind.

The lessons were great and Sylvain really knows what he is talking about. Equipment used is A-brand and high quality. All the basics and safety essentials are covered, but especially in the water Sylvains tips are extremely helpful to get you standing up in no time. The spots we went to were great too, some nice views and plenty of shallow water suitable for beginners. Highly recommend, just do it!

Sylvain is an amazing instructor. Extremely patient and knowledgeable. We had a great day out in poolbeg practicing with the different kite sizes. Can’t wait for the next one

Me and my brother had our first session today, was great fun, very interesting and informative. Having a joint session was a bonus and worked great. Looking forward to the next session! Sylvain is a very pleasant instructor, would highly recommend. 👍

A year later, still learning, progressing and loving every moment of it.👌

Sylvain has provided a great experience for me as a beginner. After the starting pack Ive gained a great amount of knowledge and confidence to continue doing it on my own. 5/5!

Thanks Sylvain for a great interdiction to kitesurfing I thought i would need a lot of upper body strength, but with the Harness holding you it’s a lite tuch on the bar, to turn I’ll keep up the Practice, I’d highly recommend Sylvain for the professionalism and great time keeping.

I recently completed the 4-lesson package with Kitesurfing Dublin, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Sylvain, my instructor, was incredibly patient and fostered a relaxed learning environment. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel confident enough to purchase my own equipment and pursue kite surfing independently. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t recommended Sylvain enough, he is extremely trustworthy, always on time, communication is on point. Very nice and funny guy, lessons are a lot of fun. sessions are very well laid out with safety being main priority and progressing through kite sizes to learn kite control. Great patience, and had me moving on the board by the end of my third lesson

He knows his stuff and picks the right material and right conditions for the lessons (not too high winds, not too shallow water, good size kite). Could not recommend a better instructor.

I can completely recommend taking lessons with Sylvain. I did my first run on the board during my third lesson (exactly as I hoped). The lessons are well thought out, the exercises help to progress quickly. Sylvain is extremely trustworthy, always on time, communication is on point. Very nice and funny guy, lessons are a lot of fun. Lastly, I have always felt very safe. I thought I might get scared due to being hooked in/high wind force, but not for a second. Not a single bad crash, Sylvain knows his stuff and picks the right material and right conditions for the lessons (not too high winds, not too shallow water, good size kite). Go for it.

Amazing kite surfing lesson with Sylvain today! 👍

He is excellent at explaining the basics, getting you familiar with the kite & gear, shows you all the safety procedures (most important bit to learn), explains the importance of planning/assessing before going on the water, demonstrates the kite exercises perfectly and gets you to repeat until you fully understand the theory and can complete them in practice advancing though the key basics step by step.

Sylvain is also very well prepared and has thought of everything to make your lessons as fun and practical as possible – winter wetsuits to keep you warm, walkie talkies so you can hear his instructions while further away, colourful shirts to wear so you can see each other out in the water (black/navy wetsuits are very difficult to see in water).

Highly recommend and will be booking my next lesson soon! 😀

Great lesson with Sylvain! Amazing instructor with a lot of knowledge and useful tips. Highly recommend to progress quickly

Highly recommend Sylvain. It was an awesome experience-he has an individual approach, very positive and knowledgeable teacher!

Thanks for the good experience! Learned how to kite surf from scratch with Sylvain even though I had zero experience on boards. He knows the conditions and kite spots in and out. Is patient and positive so you will enjoy your time. First lesson kite control, second one water dragging and third one the board. Nonetheless to drive correctly left, right and upwind you should calculate with more than three lessons. Worth the money. Thanks again
