Miles provided clear and simple commands and theory about kiteboarding. It was nice to have a simple and clear communication about questions. His practical knowledge allowed me to advance my core skill set quickly.

I took three lessons over the course of the week and received excellent instruction and critiques while still being given room to work. I had a great experience and would definitely take more lessons.

Kite the Gorge is located in a prime spot. Super professional and great gear if you need it for any conditions. I took my lesson from Miles who introduced me to the nuances of the spot and leveled me up. Awesome experience all around.
