PROFESSIONAL KITE COACHING TO ALL LEVELS AND DISCIPLINES
Run by school founder and ex-professional athlete - our advanced sessions are available in Poole on a 1:1 basis. Following a bite size syllabus honed to each individual, coaching is available hourly or in dedicated clinics. These are carefully designed to break down hurdles and guarantee progression.
With 23 years of experience Chris knows first hand how a clear and practical session plan based around a progressive bite size syllabus makes a significant difference to the rate, fun and safety of developing advanced kiting techniques. With a specialised skill set in park and freestyle, and a high level of big air, foiling and waveriding, you’ll be in the right hands to guarentee progression and push your riding further under his guidance.
“Seeing yourself perform every part of the move is the key to landing it. Visualisation is everything”
