It was an unforgettable experience gained much knowledge and made new friends. The Assistant examiners explanation is very clear & professional and the staff is friendly and helpful. Over all the experience was very good, I highly recommend choosing Tornado kite school. 10/10!

La formation était parfaite en tout point, un formateur à l'écoute, des indications claires et une sécurité totalement assurée. Je recommande fortement cette école.

Cette école répond aux attentes les plus exigeantes et assure avec sérieux une formation efficace et sécuritaire, sur un terrain de jeu idéal. Tous les instructeurs sont ultra compétents, tjrs à l'écoute de leur élève et profondément humains et sympathiques. Allez-y les yeux fermés, banane assurée. De plus, leur grand bateau amarré dans Soma Bay permet d'y avoir une cabine pour ceux qui souhaitent y vivre. Rencontres assurées avec plein d'autres kiters de tous bords et de toutes nationalités. En 2020/21, la seule école de Soma Bay capable de dispenser des cours en français et de façon efficace. Je recommande sans réserve, mes amis aussi et nous y retournerons certainement.

Je ne pouvais pas rêver mieux pour apprendre le kite, et vaincre mes appréhensions! Le spot est parfait, Félix est très pédagogue, patient, c’est un excellent professeur! Le matériel mise à disposition rassure beaucoup et encadre parfaitement les premiers pas en kite. Excellente expérience.

It was very useful experience not for kite surfing life only but also for my own personal life the instructor was more than amazing very organised and open minded and could deal with al situations during the course and very good time management. Center crew were so nice, very friendly and helpful. I have one comment regarding the course period it should be more than 5 days because of a lot of readings and home work and we feel so tired from our morning theoretical and practical sessions so maybe we need more time. At the end the course fit my satisfaction and everything went so nice and clear. Thank you felix and thank you IKO organisation for your support
