J'ai pris 10h de cours avec Filippo Cucchiara à Watamu. Un excellent moniteur dans un cadre de rêve. Filippo sait exactement comment faire progresser ses élèves, toujours en uitilisant du matériel adapté. Merci à toi !

Il corso con Filippo è stato incredibile. Sa trovarti la frase giusta nel momento più critico dell’insegnamento. Sa darti fiducia e non perde tempo. È molto corretto nella gestione delle tempistiche del corso. Non si può avere un istruttore migliore.

J'ai appris à faire du Kite à Limone avec Wind riders. Les cours était super, l'ensemble des profs était pro et disponible. Après 3 séances j'étais capable de faire les premiers rides et après 6 cours j'étais capable de faire du kite en complete autonomie.

At the age of 67 I jointes as a pure Kitesurfing beginnen with the thought “let’s see if I can do”. After only 4 lessons of Kiting I left the WindRiders kite school with the good feeling that I can do it. Thanks to Monika, Marion, Philippe, Wesley and Paolo I am as beginner in control of the Kite, I can do water start and short drives. More I have not expected after 4 days . The best experience is to recognize that I can Kite if I continue to practice. Once again very special thanks to my main instructor Philippe and I will always remember his command “release”. Thank you guys continue to do such a good job, I wish you all the best and remain with the word as of Arnold Schwarzenegger “ U will be back”! Best regards Vaclav

We had a great week in Limone. We immediately felt at home. Thanks to the guides, I was able to progress quickly. On the third day I could already ride in both directions and make turns. Unfortunately, there was no wind at the end of the course. To get some practice anyway, we went wakeboarding on the last two days. We could even try wakefoiling. Radio helmets were not available, or we just didn't use them. Therefore it was sometimes difficult to understand what the guides wanted to tell you.

I enjoyed a lot Filippo’s teaching. He is very serious about safety. Also he explained the rules of riding priority on the spot. He is inspiring students and during the lessons Iʼve been feeling very motivated.

Дуже відповідальний і чудовий тренер. Пояснює по суті, контролює і підказує. Нічого зайвого, все дуже дружньо. Рекомендую як для початківців так і для тих хто хоче вдосконалити свої навички.

Filippo è eccezionale! Simpaticissimo, solare e dotato di una empatia e capacità nell’insegnare fuori da comune. Mai impreparato e sempre pronto per un consiglio dentro e fuori dall’acqua. Non potevate capitare in mani migliori!!

Have had lessons in Puerto Rico and Hood River prior to this and Filippo was the best at explaining the physics of the kite and body positioning and was incredibly patient and encouraging throughout. Also a funny guy.

Had my first lessons three days in the morning and was already able to kite (downwind) quite a long time on both sides. Had a lot of fun with my friend who was also a complete beginner and our instructor Filippo. Perfect combination of knowledge, improvement suggestions, fun and encouragement. Also loved the boat we took! I recommend it strongly.
