"Damo and Ben are two of the most friendly , easy going guys in the industry . Nothing seems to be a problem for them . With IKO certification, first rate equipment and a flexible approach to lesson times to suite everybody’s busy lifestyle, it couldn’t be easier . I can highly recommend these Tours to anybody contemplating entry into the most fantastic and exhilarating sport of kite boarding while tagging along the WA coast."

I had an amazing week with Ben and Damo, both excelled in the areas that I value highly when working with people in the service industry – intelligent & knowledgeable, communicative and yet very humble. Thanks guys, I will be back"
