Extreme experience

*****

Extreme experience. I wish everyone to try it. Good teacher, next day I was standing on the water (of course for some it may take longer) super attitude, good food and safety. I will definitely come back here.

Rado Mihal

We recommend it to everyone who likes extreme/water sports!

*****

Two of us took a three-hour course, we had no experience and the instructor explained everything calmly. After three hours we knew "everything" about safety, kite control and bodydragging. Unfortunately, it was the last day of our vacation, so we will come back on board another time.

Rick van Hout

This place has my full recommendation.

*****

I came to this kite spot as a beginner from Harakiri Kitesurf School (CZ). This place is amazing! Great kite base, constant wind and shallow water for your first steps in kiteboarding. I bought the 6 day course and finally felt like an independent kitesurfer. I will definitely need more lessons, but I am confident that I am not a danger to myself or other people around me. My special thanks go to my teacher Abdallah who gave me a kitesurfing lesson in very easy to understand English. His wisdom, kindness and patience helped me a lot.

Michal Moravčík

The perfect place to learn and improve.

*****

Shallow water with a squeak and the base is an absolute bomb. Cold beer always available and most importantly everyone speaks Czech. The instructor Filip Dvorak is a total top, he can advise and especially sees the mistakes, which is important. I can only recommend
