SoCal Kitesurfing was a well organized company. The owner gave a brief introduction to the sport of kitesurfing. They had a great setup on the shore with all the equipment set up and ready to go every day. My instructor, Svetlana, did a great job teaching and answering every question I had. I would definitely recommend SoCal Kitesurfing to anyone wanting to learn to kite surf.

I don't think I'll ever be a standout kitesurfer, but that seems a lot less important compared to meeting my SoCal Kitesurfing community. I still have a long way to go, but my instructors have a wealth of experience, willingness, and patience(!) to help me get there. I can't wait to keep trying!
