Complete Kiteboarding Lessons and Instruction

I’ve been kiteboarding for a couple years and I wanted to progress a bit more. I took a two hour lesson with Troy to work on getting upwind better. Mission accomplished, and even better is that he taught me how to boost into the air. We spent the first hour of the lesson on the beach, which is tough when you just want to be on the water; however, it was worth it because I was able to get instruction a lot easier on the sand, and then was able to apply on the water.
I also had my wife take lessons to learn with Troy, and she is now hooked. Troy provides great beginner instruction as well as intermediate (I can’t comment on his advanced instruction until I progress a bit more).

A lot of action sport aficionados like myself are reluctant to take lessons. We don’t have the patience to sit through boring lessons, and this can sometimes result in us getting into situations that may be a bit over our heads. Fortunately, a friend who is an experienced kiteboarder persuaded me to go get a lesson on my trip to Maui two years ago, and I am glad that I was lucky enough to have Troy as my instructor. I have had the pleasure of meeting with Troy twice, on two separate trips to Maui. Troy is an excellent instructor. He is able to describe kiteboarding fundamentals to novices and intermediate boarders in a manner that is easy to understand, to get you up and out in the water safely in a minimal amount of time. Troy illustrates how the kite and board work in relation to the wind using props (homemade action figures with kites), and is able to convey his deep understanding of the sport at an appropriate level for each student. I have some experience with kiteboarding and windsurfing, and he was able to review the basics, plus get me out in the water at a pace that worked for me. As someone who has also provided instruction in my own career, I recognize a good teacher when I meet one. Whether you are a first-​time beginner or an intermediate kiteboarder looking to brush up on your skills, I would highly recommend Troy at Complete Kiteboarding without reservation.

After my first lesson with Troy and Complete Kiteboarding, I’m hooked. Troy’s approach in explaining the wind, features of the kite, safety techniques, set-​up, launching and landing and using visuals made my learning experience quick and wanting to get to the next level. Troy is extremely attentive to your concerns and will put you in a relaxed state of mind so you can enjoy your kite experience and the ride. Troy uses radios for the water segments of your lesson which is extremely helpful when you are out on the water. The equipment provided is excellent and Troy will go out of his way and beyond to adjust the gear to tailor your needs. Troy you are awesome and thank you for getting me up and riding. Whether you are a beginner like myself or advanced and want learn some cool tricks — Troy is the instructor that will get you results. Highly recommended as one of the best instructors on the Island of Maui.
