Fantastic experience, wonderful people. Recommended for those who are just starting to enjoy the world of kitesurfing, but also for experienced kitesurfers.An exceptional experience that I highly recommend.
Many thanks for the kite (e)motions at the very early stage - from my daughter and myself. We really enjoyed and learned a lot, we’ll be back to train more. Special thanks for all our profesional trainers: Karolina (rock-hard brilliant teacher), Julia (soft and subtle excellent teacher) and Arek (chilled and cool teacher). Great place for learning, super spot, easy-going approach to the fresh bloods. Couldn’t imagine any better! Best, Edyta & Emi
Julia is the best teacher ever!!! She was super friendly, funny and incredibly good at kitesurfing. Never had a better teacher. The location too is just perfect, insanly warm sky blue water with good stable wind during the time I was there (18.22.24). I would absolutley recommend stopping by for a lesson or to rent.
I have always wanted to learn how to kitesurf and luckily was able to find the best school in Diani. I am so thankful for the best teachers at KiteMotion. The staff is very friendly, competent, nice and energetic. The course is designed in a way where you will be able to get up and ride on the board. The school always use the latest equipment for safety reasons. Diani beach is the perfect spot to learn kitesurfing because it’s flat, no waves, shallow water and beautiful paradise. Not to mention that KiteMotion is the only school with a rescue boat. Safety always come first and I am so happy with the time I spent at KiteMotion
When I started talking about visit in Kite Motion one year ago I have no idea that this vacation will be like a dream.The question is not if but how fast we will return in Kite MotionAga is surely already waiting for our return - be patient I’ll be back -kisses for you and the best kite coach for children Oscar.If you think that you have time visit in Kite motion later - it doesn’t make sense go know time is running.Hakuna Matata 👌
