  Was taught by Paul and Johnny and had a great time! I did a short land day and five water days in a row (if you are able, I recommend doing the days consecutively so everything stays fresh in your memory). The first water day was safety stuff, self rescue, flying and relaunch the kite when it crashed, and body dragging up and down wind. The second day they had me up on the board for short bursts. By day five I was cutting through the waves upwind, making turns (sometimes), and did the occasional jump (though landing them was an entirely different matter:-)! Paul and Johnny are both great instructors. What I appreciated most was their willingness to listen and adjust their teaching style to the student. Some students like a bit more hands-on instruction and to take it slow; for them the instructors stayed by their side offering lots of advice. I preferred being a bit more independent and getting as much riding time as possible in each session. When I had progressed far enough and they were confident I wouldn't take anyone out with my kite they let me loose on my own with a radio helmet so they could give me tips along the way. I am sure I would not have progressed at the rate I did without their willingness to be flexible like that. I am also grateful for the time they spent going over safety and self-rescue. On day five I needed to body drag upwind in deep water to recover my board after a big crash and was happy they covered this exact scenario on day one! Overall, great time. - James
