Our riders' experiences
An exceptional instructor who goes beyond simple technique. His philosophy on kitesurfing and life, centred on living in the present moment and letting yourself be guided by the wind, truly moved me. With him I felt safe and he always welcomed me with a smile in every lesson, always available for any question. His ability to transmit passion and technique is truly unique, and his kindness and encouragement in difficult moments make all the difference.
Luca
Sebastiano helped me enormously with approaching my first jumps and improving my general riding! His lessons were crystal clear and his teachings illuminating, giving me ideas to improve and feel more confident both in jumps and on the water in general! Highly recommended!
Andrea
With Sebastiano I had the opportunity to correct many mistakes and by re-practising his lessons in the water I feel I have improved both in riding, jumps and my own confidence. I feel much more sensitive both with the bar and the kite. I think a good refresher is essential from time to time and doing it with Sebastiano was truly useful and educational.
Giovanni
I came to Sebastiano through word of mouth, and I never expected to be so happy after taking lessons with him. He is truly a high-quality instructor and, above all, a kind-hearted person. I was starting from practically zero, and besides keeping me safe, Sebastiano managed to teach me all the most fundamental skills to start kitesurfing. I am proud to say I have mastered them and feel much more confident continuing with this sport. I can only thank him very much and highly recommend him to you.
Edoardo
Sebastiano was an excellent guide in helping me approach the world of kitesurfing. With his technique, patience, and determination, he made me fall in love with this sport from the very first lesson!
Alessia
Exceptional experience! Sebastiano is a great instructor who guided me step by step through this course. He is very attentive to safety, and his explanations are clear and make you understand everything. I never had a single doubt during the course. I highly recommend him to everyone.
