Martin was an incredible instructor. He is very knowledgeable and his method of teaching gets you to your goal as quickly as possible, he wastes no time and we had a lot of fun!

Had an absolute blast learning from Martin. Could not recommend him enough. He is so genuinely passionate about the sport and it shows! I was a bit anxious about safety to begin with but he teaches on a shallow lake that allows you to learn in a very safe environment while still having the best fun. His way of teaching emphasises feel and good technique from the beginning which hopefully will set me up long term. Cannot wait for my second lesson tomorrow 🤩🤙

I mean it when I say you would be doing yourself a disservice to learn to kite anywhere else in the world. Martin's instruction coupled with the beautiful location that is Boreen Point, it had to be one of the best experiences of my life. Two full days and I was up and running, and now I can hire kite gear anywhere I go. Can't recommend enough.

Great course with Martin over two sessions (a few months apart). Excellent coaching and instruction - now properly have the bug and can't wait for my next trip to Noosa!

Highly recommend! Martin is a really good instructor and the spot where he teaches is perfect for learning, with a lot of room and shallow water he'll get you up to speed in no-time!

Martin is very experienced, took the time to wait for winds to pick up and has a brilliant way to convey theories and practical info. You pretty much start your lesson on the water, nice, warm, knee deep and not crowded at all!

My wife bought me a voucher as a surprise birthday gift and it was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed ourselves very much and felt safe and confident while flying the kite. Martin is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and a fun guy. Thank you.

Great location for beginners or advanced riders. If you have the ability to camp at the lake while having lessons is highly recommended. I've had lessons from other schools that weren't able to get me to where I finished with Martin. His knowledge base and ability to read where you were in your skill level to progress you in the next board progressions is for me what separated him from others. He also went out of his way to give me a good read on my own equipment to help me get familiarised with it which I really appreciated. Thanks Martin! See you on the water brother.
