Sage Klein

Bart runs the best school at SoCal Kitesurfing and his instructors are amazing. Sage has been so patient with me and my nerves being out on the water but she coached me through it and I was able to get up and ride! I can’t wait to keep growing in this sport and learning from Bart and his team!

Sage is a very talented kiter herself and has a passion both for the sport and for teaching. She understands the importance of self discovery in a safe manner and has so many great tips and tricks for refining your skills. SoCal KiteSurfing is the leader in SoCal and you make lifetime friends and mentors.

I booked my first foil lesson with Sage through SoCal Kitesurfing. I know how steep the learning curve for foiling is, so I went into the lesson with low expectations for success. To my surprise, I was water starting and consistently riding more than 30 yards after 2 hours. This was largely thanks to Sage’s instruction and her effort to maximize my practice time. Whether I needed help relaunching, retrieving the board, or getting back upwind, Sage wasted no time wading out to assist. This helped me focus on applying her clear and constant advice to my water starts and first steps with the foil. The gear selection was spot on for my skill level and the conditions. Looking forward to a taller mast next time!

Had some frustrating moments such as getting separated from the board repeatedly but got some excellent practice in and a lot of good instruction. At the end Bart gave me some extra time and a bigger board and I got a decent ride. Stoked to go back.

Sage was an awesome instructor and really helped me progress during my private lesson. She had me on a radio while I was out there and guided me through my transitions and jumps. Doing my first set of jumps was an amazing feeling and Sage made that very easy. The wind died 2 hours into my lesson but she offered a make-up lesson which was great! This lesson really took me to the next level and I recommend anyone wanting to improve their kiteboarding skills to take this lesson!
