Besides making sure you learn about fundamentals and safety, Andrea really thinks along with your development and pleasure. Very thorough but fun explanation of the sport. 10/10 would recommend him. Thanks for the fun first introduction to kiting!!

I only came back, because of my first experience in January with Andrea… (see earlier feedback)… while the equipment from Mito Kiteschool was already pretty worn, old and shabby, the Kites I got, where super good and the Bars also in good shape. I had booked another trip to Sal to make sure, I would get to a level, where I can independently go out and Kite, and what can I say… Andrea made it happen. It was such a great week, and if it hadn’t been for the way. Andrea engaged with me on a very personal and individual level, I would probably not have achieved it. I am so happy and extremely grateful, that Andrea made sure I was safe and would make it up to Level 3J… I’ll not book any other intructor ever again for getting better in this sport, as I fin to be the best!!💪👍👌👏.. Thank you, Andrea🙏

After having many different instructors over more than four years, I can confidently say that Andrea was the best instructor I’ve had. He knows how to strike the right balance between theory and practice, and he truly helps you understand the concepts.

Andrea made me feel safe at all times — before, during, and after each class. I had previously taken lessons in Tarifa and Corralejo, Fuerteventura, and I arrived very motivated to continue learning in Cape Verde. Her technique, patience, and ability to move at my pace gave me the confidence to enjoy kitesurfing safely, always feeling in control of what I was doing with the kite. Andrea transmitted her passion for the sport while also emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail to ensure conscious and safe navigation. Technically, tactically, and personally, it has been wonderful to have Andrea as an instructor. A 10 out of 10 without a doubt. I’m truly grateful, and I know we will meet again soon.

I had the opportunity to take lessons with instructor Andrea at the beginning of February and I am very satisfied with them. Andrea explains everything very clearly, which makes handling the kite quickly stop feeling like “black magic” and start being great fun. Despite the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, he pays a lot of attention to safety, which made me feel confident and secure from the very beginning, even though kitesurfing is an extreme sport. He is also great at motivating and encouraging further learning, even when things don’t go perfectly at first. Thanks to this, the lessons are challenging but enjoyable and very rewarding.

the teacher that me and my sister had was very kind safety and self-confident when he explain us the basic concept of kite surf, he gave us the best equipment that the center had, and he always check the wind power before let us try the kite surf independently. he trust us also if we are at the first step and he often follow us in the water to help us to get confident and learn the best technique, I’m very happy about him and i suggest that fantastic teacher

SONO STATI DEI GIORNI STUPENDI IN UN POSTO A DIR POCO MAGNIFICO! IL NOSTRO ISTRUTTORE ANDREA È STATO A DIR POCO IMPECCABILE! CI HA TRASMESSO TRANQUILLITA SIN DA SUBITO E CI HA DATO SEMPRE I CONSIGLI GIUSTI IN OGNI SITUAZIONE! IL MIGLIOR ISTRUTTORE CHE ABBIA MAI AVUTO!

As I had always wanted to learn how to kite, I took the opportunity while on Sal, to book my first course and get on with it… I would have never thought, that it is such a technical sport and that it would be so tough to control the kite, also how much power a kite can produce and how dangerous it potentially could be, if making a mistake. Even more important to have the right instructor, who really knows how to teach the ins and outs, dos and donts, take away fears and give confidence with ease and patience … With Andrea we got exactly that experience, and I am extremely grateful for it. As a teacher he combines knowledge with motivation and schools you with a lot of patience and understanding, never too pushy and focused on the individual capabilities rather than on just going through a standardized lesson. It’s fun, challenging at at the same time very personal… I told him, that he is a teacher, that I would entrust my kids to as well. Aside from that, Andrea is a very interesting personality in itself, and I can only recommend him to anyone who reads this to make sure, they book him personally. He knows his stuff, is very professionell, knows how to teach it and makes sure you can keep yourself out of harms way in the future when you’re at it all by yourself….. and something I know and could teach everyone already after my first 5 lessons is Andreas favorite :“ if you can’t control it, let go!!“…. 😅😅
