I have been referring my friends to ikite as the owner Andre is a very established, experienced and certified instructor and a top notch kiter! His enthusiasm and passion for the sport of kiteboarding and sailing is unmatched. Whether you're looking for a friendly and kind hearted instructor to introduce you to the sport of kiteboarding or are looking for a guide to take you on adventures and kite trips around the world Andre is the one stop shop!

I had lessons with Andrew in January 2021 at Saint Martin. Andrew is an amazing athlete and his passion for the sport is contagious. When he was kitesurfing on Orient Bay, it was quite a show and tourists took pictures and videos of his cool jumps. As an instructor, Andrew is highly professional and patient. My safety and safety of people around us was his main priority. I loved how Andrew took time to explain the theory of wind and made sure I understand the main principles before I touched the bar. His lessons are well structured and fun. I highly recommend IKite Canada school.

When I first contacted Andrei to inquire about kiteboarding lessons, I had a lot of questions. He was very thorough in answering all my questions and gave me tons of new info that I didn't even think about when starting this sport. He was quick in getting back to my emails and after having chatted with him on a few occasions, I knew that I wanted to move forward with him as my instructor. I am a complete beginner and do not come from any board sports at all. I was a little intimidated knowing that it is more of a male dominated sport and knowing it is a highly technical sport, but I was determined to take lessons and start this journey. I have seen so many amazing women kiters and it's an inspiration to see that really anyone can do it.Andrei made this beginning process very comfortable and easy to understand. It is clear that he is not only extremely knowledgeable but he has a passion and love for this sport and the community that it connects you to. He believes strongly in making sure all the proper safety steps are learned along the way in every level, and really took the time to make sure I not only remembered them but was able to re-create them on my own.After my 4 lessons with him I was actually up on the board and riding. He is a great teacher who shows strong support and encouragement in every step and always had a fun sense of humour to go with it :)My lessons are done and now I am out practicing as much as I can before the season ends. He stays in contact with me and is still around to answer questions I have about buying gear as a beginner and all his recommendations on brands and equipment.Highly recommend IKite and Andrei. Thank you Andrei! Xx

Andre is an awesome kitesurfer, a very patient and competent instructor and an all-around nice guy. He is meticulous about looking after his gear (that you will be using when taking lessons) and he always puts safety first. He is great at organizing (frequent) kitesurfing trips to a variety of destinations and suitable for all levels. He goes far above and beyond what I would have expected from an instructor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I always found this sport so intriguing but I also knew I would need a great instructor to learn the technique properly and Andre was nothing short of that. He is a very patient and friendly instructor, very professional and truly has a passion for what he does. I highly recommend this school especially if you're just starting out ! I will definitely be returning once I perfect the skills I've learned from him and ready for more advanced training.

iKite is great.Being new to Kiteboarding I was unsure of what to expect or how I would progress. iKite's trainer(Andre) took the time to teach me about many aspects of the sport such as wind direction, equipment, community, beaches etc...so much more than I expected when I signed up.Thank you for everything!!

Had a lesson with Andre from IKITE. The experience was awesome! I learned the basic skills of flying a trainer kite. Now, I cannot wait until the snow to try snowkiting on a power kite.

One of the biggest reasons for why I love the team at iKite, is their passion and dedication to this thrilling sport! The excitement shows in the way they instruct their students, both beginners and advanced alike 🙂 The team of iKite has gone above and beyond just simple lessons on water or ice, through introducing exciting group trips to the worlds most sough-after kitesurfing hot spots! i absolutely love that! team spirit grows, students skill set grows, and the love for this sport gets everyone involved and yearning for more thrills. The iKite store is also a very useful category, which not only educates new students on the type of gear required, but also provides access to some great brands at amazing prices! Way to go, Andrei and Yulia! Love seeing your success!
