My son recently took his lesson with Hampshire Kitesurfng Centre between Southampton and Portsmouth, we came down from London for the day. The guys were great, they had all of the kitesurf equipment and wetsuits etc. my son had a great day learning to kiteboard and he is really keen to do more kitesurfing lessons with the school in Southampton.

Myself and cousin did a power kite lesson with Mr Tim the instructor who really knows his stuffs well and was super patient helping us both. We mastered the skill of Power Kitting and I strongly recommend them to anyone. It was very big and open space where we had the opportunity to practice on.

Had some great training with this team. Everything you need is on hand - first class coaching plus advice and guidance choosing, setting up and maintaining your own kit, and preparing for going out by yourself (and undoubtedly further tricks, but I'm not quite there yet). If you're serious about getting into this sport, this is exactly the kind of help you'll need. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Great experience with Hampshire Kite Surfing. Being a novice to SUP I wanted A company that could provide me with the basic skills I needed, in a friendly and informative atmosphere. This they certainly did the instructor was patient and also supportive. Having a small group exercise of only two of us meant that we had a lot of a personal attention and despite having a slightly choppy conditions on the water both of us still managed to stand up and actually paddleboard! Thank you to the entire team at Hampshire kite surfing, and I look forward to my next lesson with you.
