Mike, Kiteboarding Instructor
When Mike isn't teaching or hanging with us in Alameda or San Mateo, you'll find him hitting it BIG on the coast in the waves. He's been kiting for over 8 years, and is always psyched to be getting others into the sport and sharing his passion. His British accent and his 6'5" frame will give him away at the beach. Colin, Kiteboarding Instructor
I’ve been kiting for 6 years and teaching for 5. I have taught sports for years, but especially love teaching kiting because of how psyched people get (giddy like little kids) when they get the rush of kiteboarding.

John, Kiteboarding Instructor
Kiteboarding is the sport on which I measure all other sports. Once you get it you will rearrange your life to accommodate riding. There is no better bang for your buck than kiteboarding. Benjamin, Kiteboarding Instructor
Not only is Benjamin a stellar kiteboarder and instructor, he just got his PhD in mathematics at Berkeley! Did we mention he teaches gymnastics as well? Benjamin's been kiting for over 5 years, teaching for 3 years, and will often be one of the last kiters to leave the H2O. Thomas, Kiteboarding Instructor
Thomas has been kiting for 6 seasons and teaching for 2. He not is only passionate about riding, but also says his happiest moments are getting new people stoked on kiting.

Jane, Kiteboarding Instructor
Rebecca and I quit our jobs to run the school and shop, and I feel very lucky to call the beach my office. I love teaching beginners in both sports as I get to see them get the thrill of riding out on the bay for the first time.

Rebecca, Kiteboarding Instructor (red rash guard)
The best thing about teaching windsurfing and kiteboarding is that they are sports everyone can learn in a short period of time. There is nothing better than being on the water.

Michelle, Windsurfing Instructor
"The best thing about teaching windsurfing is being there when students experience the sudden freedom and exhilaration of their first ride - when everything finally clicks. I love to see them get excited because windsurfing rocks!" Michelle has been teaching with us 4 seasons after moving to the Bay Area from Wisconsin. She has energy for days (as evidenced by her riding her bike to and fro), and she is extremely dedicated in making sure her students enjoy the wind and water.

Lora, Windsurfing Instructor
I've been windsurfing for 4 years and teaching for 3. I believe that two rules in windsurfing also apply to life: "Look up" and "Never refuse help." |
