Will Cossey, Brighton, March 2020

“Have had an amazing time learning to kitesurf with Christine and her team, it’s been great fun. They are very experienced, knowledgeable and have been rigorous with the safety aspect of kitesurfing - building my confidence level. Christine has also advised me on purchasing my first kitesurfing equipment package. She has been really helpful and given me a really excellent deal. I can’t wait to get out and used it…”

Great fun morning. Christine is a great teacher, very patient, and made the experience massively fun. Looking forward to further lessons. Great teacher and amazing fun. Thanks Rob.

And then Rob said after his full course:

I’ve always wanted to try kitesurfing and finally gave it a go. After my first lesson with Christine I was hooked and booked a full course. Christine is a great teacher, really knowledgeable (and patient!). Now I’ve got all my kit (which Christine also helped out with) I’m ready to continue my kitesurfing adventure!

Fun lessons by a professional, a good way to learn kite surfing! The beach is quiet and clean with nearby free parking. Clean equipment was provided and it is soft sand out from the shore.

I encouraged my family to buy me kite surfing lessons for my 55th birthday, before I got too old to try this amazing sport.
I had my first land and water lesson with Christine on a 1:1 and through the process learnt how challenging this sport actually is! But it's a bit like when you first drive a car, you look around and you say to yourself "if everyone else can drive I must be able to do this too." Very enjoyable and fun lesson where I learnt a lot. I believe I made good progress too. I am now looking forward to my next lesson when the conditions are right.

Got me up and riding in 3 lessons. Christine was really friendly and her approach made me feel relaxed and confident. The equipment was great and seemed nearly new. The spot she teaches you from is great - a mostly sandy / flat bottom (boots were provided for the rocky bits). On a day when the wind dropped off I didn't have to pay the full lesson fee which I though was very reasonable. Christine even introduced me to the whatsapp group of riders she has set up with is great for getting help with launching etc. I definitely recommend learning with this school.

Christine was very professional, kind, patient and dedicated.
Both safety and fast improvements were present during my courses that she arranged to personally fit my needs, schedule and of course wind conditions.
I got up "riding" faster than I expected thanks to her and radio live adjustments.
I would highly recommend and be there again next year for further skills improvements !

I have had a number of lessons with Christine. She has been absolutely brilliant, very focused on safety and rather than follow a syllabus aims to get you kite surfing. The real difference with Christine is that she is a great instructor rather than just a great kite surfer. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone thinking of taking up the sport!

I have had two lessons with Christine and have had a really enjoyable time and have learnt loads! I have found Christine to be relaxed and friendly. Christine gives clear instructions and plenty of really useful advice and information. This is really important to me as I have no background in water sports at all. Christine always has safety in mind and it is clear that your own personal safety is of paramount importance to her.
Anyone like me, who has been watching from the beach and would like to give kitesurfing a try, then I would definitely recommend Christine and The Kitesurf & Sup Co.

I really enjoyed my kitesurfing lesson with Christine. I had no previous experience of kiting but Christine's instructions were clear and easy to follow enabling me to make good progress. Christine is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I found her to be an excellent teacher, very friendly and easy to talk to. The lesson was well structured, fun, and excellent value. I learnt a lot in a short time and I'm looking forward to my next lesson!

The venue on Worthing beach, opposite the BP Connect garage, is easily accessible, un-crowded and has good parking.

I would not hesitate to recommend The Kite, Surf & SUP co. to my friends.

BEN BEDGGOOD, AUGUST 2014, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

I had my first lesson with Christine at Narrabeen beach, Sydney, Australia when she was over here. The conditions were very testing with the waves being well overhead. At first I was hesitant but Christine's calm attitude coupled with her high confidence and wealth of knowledge put me at ease and before I knew it we were body dragging through wild seas with 6 foot surf... and loving it. Thanks to Christine's positive, fun approach at which she helped me enter this sport I am now completely addicted. I highly recommend Christine from The KiTE, SURF & SUP Co. for anybody considering taking up Kite surfing.

Hi just want to say Gary and I had such a great day with our teacher Christine. She was fantastic very professional and her teaching technique very impressive it was clear she is very knowledgeable and we both felt very safe. 
Thank you for a great experience and we both said we would do it again.
Maybe some facilities to make changing etc a bit more comfortable but having a toilet was good and needed!

RICHARD BOAK, AUGUST 2014, BRIGHTON - 5 STARS

I recently took a three hour refresher lesson with Christine. I was quite nervous having not been in the water for two years, having only done basic lessons previously. I was quickly put at ease and taught in a highly professional but relaxed way. Thank you for your patience. I look forward to continuing my training with you. I had a great fun evening.
 

YISHAN ZHENG, AUGUST 2014, BRIGHTON - 5 STARS

Only two lessons in, I am hooked!!!!! Having Christine as instructor was awesome, she is fun, patient and super positive! Armed with a rather systemic teaching strategy, learning kite surfing with her I know I am in good hands! :)
 

ROMAN STANKEVICIUS, JULY 2014, BRIGHTON - 5 STARS

I've had my first lesson in kitesurfing. A few days later I am still buzzing and I can't wait for another lesson. I had a great time, everything was explained to me and was easy to understand, and most importantly - safety first! 
Kitesurfing changes your life, so don't waste your time. Try it. :-)
