Had a lot of fun!
Billy is very accomidating with his classes and keeps it as one on one as possible while accomidating peoples hectic schedules and constantly changing wind conditions. If you're new to the sport and want to learn in a comfortable and fun environment at your own pace; Billy is your guy!
Thank you so much for a great experience Bill!
Fantastic instructor. Taught me back in 2012 and use his tips, tricks and methods every session. Easiest and safest way to get into this amazing sport.
My husband & I are in our late 50's and decided it was not too late to learn to kite board. In researching instructors near us we chose to go with Billy. He was professional from the first phone call and was patient with all our questions and stayed in close communication when trying to book lessons around changing wind conditions.
First and foremost he teaches SAFETY...enough can't be said about this. He took us through all the elements of setting up the kites and how all the gear works before we hit the water.
With safety and set up out of the way we moved onto learning to control a power kite & body dragging. This came much easier for my husband than for me but Billy persisted & worked with us both at our levels.
Unfortunately we started our lessons near the end of the season last summer and were not able to get to the riding stage with Billy through NO fault of his. We subsequently took more lessons when travelling BUT without Billy's lessons preparing us with the fundamentals and the SAFETY aspects we would not have had the same success.
If you are looking for lessons we both recommend giving Billy a call.
Billy is an amazing kite surfing instructor and a great guy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Billy. His expertise and experience in teaching is hard to find anywhere else in Ontario. He teaches his students to be safe and independent kite surfers.
I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to learn from such an experienced instructor who makes everything into a learning experience. If you are looking to become a safe and independent kite surfer Billy is the guy! He also freely gives advice on equipment and takes the time to answer any questions regarding kite surfing or equipment. This guy has a lot of knowledge and his intention is to make his students the best kite surfers possible.
If it wasn't for Billy's patient teaching style I probably would not be kite surfing any more.
