Dave is an outstanding kite instructor! He gives very clear instructions, and his calm and patient approach creates the perfect learning environment. Even outside of official lessons he goes out of his way to check in with everyone individually, making sure they feel comfortable, are progressing well, and are having a great time. I highly recommend taking lessons with Dave!

Afgelopen trip naar Denemarken heb ik mijn eerste kitesurflessen gevolgd bij Ripstar, met Dave en Linda als instructeurs. En wat waren zij fijn! Ze leggen alles super duidelijk uit, nemen rustig de tijd en zorgen tegelijkertijd voor een gezellige sfeer op en naast het water. Ik heb me geen moment bang of onzeker gevoeld, omdat ik zoveel vertrouwen had in hun begeleiding. Door de 1-op-1 lessen heb ik in korte tijd echt mega grote stappen gemaakt en veel geleerd. De combinatie van goede uitleg, persoonlijke aandacht en vooral veel plezier maakte dit echt een top ervaring! Dikke aanrader!!

Dave is very knowledgeable and great skills to teach kitesurfing. During classes Dave is key is on safety, control and enabling students (like myself) to feel confident in a new sport. I had a good time and many smiles on my face during the classes, thanks Dave!

Super goed en geduldig geholpen. Door Dave konden we veilig het water op bij deze spot om meters te maken. Hij heeft ons de basis geleerd in wat te doen in situaties die je kunt tegenkomen op het water. Verder duidelijke uitleg en goede tips om verder te komen in onze kiteskills.

Dave was amazing! He knew exactly what he had to say for me to start progressing. He instilled a lot of confidence in me and explained everything very clearly. I felt very safe and felt free to ask any question. Would recommend.

Dave was an excellent instructor clear, calm and always giving spot-on feedback that actually improved riding. The equipment was top as well. Great atmosphere at the camp!
