Sien de Groot

I had a fantastic time learning kite surfing with Sien! In just a few hours, she taught me so much. Her way of explaining things is super clear, and she’s really calm and patient, which made it easy to learn how to control the kite and get going on the board. I felt totally safe and supported the whole time. If you're thinking about getting into kite surfing or just want to get better, I can definitely recommend taking lessons with her.

It was a pleasure earning my certified level and take my first lessons in this kiting school. Really good individual care about every student and safety is very important for them. I always felt comfortable and will come back!

Sien and the other teacher had very good observation on our techniques and what could be improved without overwhelming us with points of attention. Her style was very encouraging and energizing. I would really recommend her as a teacher and would love to have her a my teacher again!

Sien has a wonderful energy and is truly a great teacher. She instant connects with children – thanks to her background in education, creating an environment that feels safe and encouraging. She gives confidence, allowing kids to grow and learn with ease. My two boys, ages 15 and 10, absolutely loved her classes and have learned a lot in a short time. Sien’s ability to engage both adults and kids makes her an unique and outstanding teacher.

In Sicilië Instructor Sien lifted my skills up to a New level. She did it with fire and passion withing which was stimulating the learning process. Sien learned me in a short amount of time how to jump, and self rescue. She is amazing!!

I already knew how to kitesurf, but thanks to her enthusiastic and clear instruction I was able to take my skills to the next level. With her help, I learned how to ride upwind and make smooth transitions. She’s a super fun, spontaneous, and above all passionate instructor with an incredible love for kitesurfing and for life itself. Her energy is contagious and makes you feel motivated and excited right away. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your skills, a lesson with her is highly recommended!

Yesterday I covered so many meters with Sien as my instructor. Clear and helpful instructions, and I really made progress with kiting. Can’t wait to keep going and soon start riding upwindl and my confidence on the water keeps growing with every session.

I have had the pleasure of being under Sien's instruction: her yells are legendary! She enthusiastically teaches and explains in great detail. This combination ensures success, and when you do get up on the board, she will cheer you on. 10 out of 10 would kite again!

Het kitekamp was naast het water, een kleine 5 minuten wandelen en we konden het water op. Wat ideaal was. Sien heeft me goed geholpen en telkens goede tips gegeven. Ze is iemand van als je fouten maakt ga je er het meeste van leren, dus soms liet ze me zoeken, maar dat zorgde er juist voor dat ik veel zelfvertrouwen kreeg. Want ik wist ook dat ze altijd bereikbaar was als er toch iets zou fout lopen. Top instructeur.

I booked Ripstar Denmark Kitekamp a little sceptical because of my respect for wind & waves. But the week started with a safety into from the crew, where my fears vanished and made place for motivation. Sien was incredible patient, very knowledgeable and good at explaining the situation, which led to a high learning curve and enthusiasm from my side... maybe sometimes a bit too excited. My 360 below water level where superior :D. Thank you Sien for guiding me through this experience with great care and good vibes!
