Todd Melinn

I really enjoyed my lesson. Todd was a great instructor and helped me progress a lot for one day, and also shared knowledge and stories that built my appreciation for the sport. Would definitely do this again!

My instructor Todd, and the whole kite school, made me feel safe from day one. They gave me everything I needed and made sure I was prepared to go into the water. SoCal kitesurfing puts its students first and wants to see them succeed! Really happy I joined this beautiful family!

Todd is an incredible instructor. Very patient and knowledgeable. Happily answers questions for every scenario thought of and goes over tons of safety features to make me feel confident and comfortable. Looking forward to making this an everyday sport!

Todd was a great instructor, he was patient with me and tried a few different approaches with ways for me to fly the kite as it took me a little bit to understand how to control the kite. He fed us with all sorts of information - I wish I had been able to take notes! I'm looking forward to the next lesson!

Was going great until we got in the water and I got stung by a stingray on the foot. Obviously not the instructor’s or school’s fault! The ocean does what the ocean will do. Todd and the rest of the crew were great. No complaints

It was our second kitesurf lesson (waterstart) and Todd was awesome! He was super clear and gave us really good advice. He told me how to correct my position or my kite position while body dragging and/or when I was trying the waterstart. He is also super fun and enthusiast we had so much fun! I felt that I learned so much in 3 hours. In addition, the school in general is fantastic, all the instructors really take the need of each student into account, are really friendly, secure and clear (our first lesson with Svetlana really hook us up). Thank you guys!

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They make you feel safe and ready to learn Parking kinda sucks like all beaches when it's nice out. I bring a bike on my car, or a skateboard so I can park further. Works for me

Todd was a great instructor and was super helpful with all questions and instruction. I highly recommend Todd for anyone.
