I am looking at getting some kitesurfing lessons and would like to know anyone’s opinion on who to get lessons from within the Perth area, I am after the best not the cheapest, if it helps I have been windsurfing for the past 15 years and weigh just over 100kg

G'Day Fazza,

My school has been teaching for nearly 5 years and has just opened up again in Perth after relocating from Sydney. I have reopened with all new equipment, teach at Pinnaroo Point most days unless too busy.

Australian Kiteboarding School is an IKO affilliated centre, insured and we utilise the latest in teaching techniques and methods including boat and radio lessons. I have been an IKO Examiner for 3 years (training over 100 instructors) and Level 2 Instructor.

If I can be of service please call me on 0407 012 220 or email to [email protected]

Sorry Laurie, don't know if I am overstepping the boudaries by answering this one in this fashion.

SOS does lessons. We have a couple of top kiters (Dan Anderson and Damo Gough) Instructing for us. Give us a ring and have a chat to one of us about it.

I will back up howley ,As i had a lesson with them and it was good down at safetly bay and for two hour which is alot better than one because you can have time to practice what you have been shown .
i think the key to lessons is to get them back to back not one each week or you will forget what you have learnt .
Also it is good to get lesson in water that is more than ankle deep so that you are forced to body drag back to your board .rather than stand and walk .or the first time you crash your kite or loose your board in the sea you will $hit yourself .
lastly it might be good to get a lesson with someone that teaches at the location that you intend to kite at most .there is know rule that saying that you have to get all your lessons with the same people .do what works for you . i got four lessons with four different instructures .
have fun .
