Richard Allan

Richard Allan is knowledgable and experienced instructor. He is impressively patient and attentive. Richard used precise language to guide me to correct and adjust what required attention. I left the lessons knowing that I got the most out of it. I can confidently say that I have made good progression during the lesson

Richard was a very good instructor and taught me all the steps well so I could learn this sport quickly. I really enjoyed taking his lessons, and Richard adapted to my needs and focused on the steps necessary for my progress.

Definitely recommend High palm kite school, I had a brilliant instructor Richard, that made all the lessons and learning special, felt safe and progressed fast. Truly unforgettable experience and was nice to be surrounded by caring, kind professionals.

I had a great time learning to kitesurf at Kahuna. My instructor was brilliant and he showed me exactly what I needed to know to get started. After just four days, I was riding upwind smoothly. Really happy with how it went and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to learn.

I found Richard had a pleasant personality, to be very thorough and fully explained all aspects of the training we covered. A piece of the safety equipment jammed though. The course gave me the confidence and desire to continue to the next level even though I am 77. I will have to increase my endurance in the water before my next time at Langebaan.

I had an amazing experience learning kitesurfing with Richard. He's not only incredibly skilled but also an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about his students' progress. He was very thorough in explaining every step of the process, ensuring I understood the 'why' behind each technique. I kept forgetting some key details, but Richard was patient and encouraging, always helping me get back on track. His clear instructions and positive attitude really made a difference, and by the end of the lessons, I felt confident and on the right track. If you're looking for someone who's knowledgeable, approachable, and invested in helping you learn to kite, Richard is your guy.

My 16 year old daughter and I went for lessons with Richard. He was so kind, patient and helpful and we enjoyed it tremendously. I really appreciated how well he worked with my daughter since not everyone knows how to deal with teenage girls. Highly recommended!
