Why this is a Masterclass
This isn’t a standard kite lesson. This is advanced coaching built on years of high-level riding, teaching, and in-depth analysis. Through my YouTube tutorials, I break down complex techniques into clear, practical steps, and that same structured approach is applied one-on-one during coaching.
A Masterclass means understanding the details that actually drive progression. I focus on timing, kite control, body position, and decision-making, identifying the small mistakes that hold riders back. Whether you’re working on big air, rotations, waves, or freestyle, every session is tailored to your level and goals.
This coaching is for riders who want more than quick tips. It’s for those who want real understanding, faster progression, and consistent results on the water.

How I teach
Choose your style
Twin-tip, directional, or foil, coaching is adapted to the board and discipline you ride. The goal is always the same: refine technique, improve timing, and unlock progression that fits your riding.
Custom-tailored coaching
Every session starts with an assessment of your riding to understand your level, habits, and goals. From there, I build a focused plan tailored to your style, equipment, and the conditions on the day.
Always connected
Clear, real-time feedback is key to fast progression. Using in-helmet communication, you receive precise input exactly when it matters, keeping sessions efficient, focused, and effective.
Frequently asked question:
Yes. I coach using BB Talkin headsets to provide real-time feedback while you’re riding. This allows me to give precise input exactly when it matters, instead of stopping the session or shouting from the beach.
Clear communication speeds up progression and helps you correct mistakes immediately, making each session more efficient and focused.
For safety and ease of use, I provide a helmet equipped with a BB Talkin headset for every rider during the session. (different sizes available)
Each session is tailored to your level, goals, and the conditions on the day. Before getting on the water, we discuss focus points and priorities. On the water, coaching is centered around precise feedback and correcting key mistakes. After the session, we briefly review what to work on next, so you leave with clear direction for further progression.
For the best progression, it’s recommended to have a few sessions on the water before your lesson, especially when traveling to a new location. Being comfortable with the conditions and back in the rhythm of kiteboarding allows us to focus on technique rather than basic adaptation. Ideally, avoid booking a session straight after a long break.
It’s also very helpful to watch a few SA Masterclass tutorials beforehand. This gives you insight into how I explain techniques and often means you already understand the goal of a trick, allowing the coaching to focus on fine-tuning and correcting details rather than starting from scratch.
I don’t offer kitesurf equipment rentals, and for the best progression it’s strongly recommended to ride your own gear. Being familiar with your kite, bar, and board makes a big difference, as timing and handling vary between brands and models. Using equipment you know allows us to focus on technique rather than adapting to new gear.
If you don’t have your own equipment with you, there are usually good rental options near the locations where I coach. Feel free to contact me in advance and I can point you in the right direction.
Please also keep in mind that wind conditions can change quickly. Bringing a full quiver to the beach helps ensure we always have the right kite size for the conditions and get the most out of the session.
Kiteboarding is a highly wind-dependent sport, and conditions can always change. While forecasts are generally reliable and I use extensive local knowledge to plan sessions, there is always a chance that the wind or conditions don’t turn out as expected.
When scheduling a lesson, I do my best to find the best possible conditions for your level and goals. Even if conditions are lighter or stronger than planned, there is usually still a lot we can work on. If conditions are completely unsuitable or unsafe, the session will be cancelled and rescheduled. No payment is required in that case, the risk is fully on me.
Payment can be made on the spot in cash, or via a Stripe payment link, which supports credit cards and Apple Pay. Wire transfer is also possible and is often the preferred option for European banks. Payment can be completed after the session.
