I had an incredible experience with Air Switch Kite Surfing School in Mauritius and can’t recommend them enough. My first lesson with Katya was absolutely fantastic! She explained things in a way that finally made everything click for me. By the end of that first session, I was riding upwind in both directions and returning to the same spot, something I had never managed in previous lessons elsewhere.
I followed this with two semi-private sessions with Oliver, where we focused on learning transitions. Each session was clear, focused, and fun, and I saw noticeable improvement every day. My last two sessions were just supervision sessions!
I spent a week kitesurfing in the stunning Le Morne kite lagoon, and it was genuinely a make-or-break week for me in terms of deciding whether to continue kitesurfing or give it up. Thanks to the amazing coaching and support from Air Switch, I’m happy to say I’ll definitely be continuing! I now feel confident riding independently and safely.
The equipment was top-notch, in great condition, and felt like new (we even unwrapped a brand-new kite while I was there!). The organisation and communication were flawless from start to finish, and the spot itself is truly a dream location for learning.
Special thanks to Alica, the amazing volunteer, for having all my kites and equipment ready and waiting for me each day - it made everything so smooth and stress-free.
As a bonus, they took some great videos of me during my sessions, which I’ve loved sharing with my family.
Huge thank you to the whole team, what an unforgettable experience. I’ll...
Read moreI had the best kitesurfing experience with Airswitch. Absolute professionals, friendly and welcoming guys, very communicative, helpful and supportive. They offer some top-notch gear (Core kites - it's like you're kiting on a Porsche), have a very convenient spot for learning kiting - in a beautiful lagoon with the most breathtaking scenery and perfect conditions for beginners (not too crowded, shallow water, almost no waves, pretty constant wind). My instructor Oliver was very encouraging and was constantly giving me useful feedback and great tips. With his support and advice I was progressing every day: not only I finally started riding upwind confidently and even making some slide transitions, but I also learned how to control my speed much better, which also boosted my confidence a lot, and I actually started feeling much more relaxed on a board even with a stronger wind. Another thing that I greatly appreciated with Airswitch is the amount of time you get to spend practicing in a water - each of my sessions was over 2 hours, I didn't have to share the kite with anyone or wait. Oliver was monitoring my progress and helping me improve, and on my last day I even had the honor of having been launched on the beach, so I could just ride further away from the beginners area like an independent kiter (instead of walking there while someone was bringing me the equipment). I totally recommend Airswitch Kitesurfing - you won't regret if you choose them - and I look forward for the next year to come back and maybe learn some jumps...
Read moreI recently completed a 5-lesson package of private sessions at this kitesurfing school in Mauritius, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. Oliver, my instructor, provided friendly and personable one-on-one coaching that significantly exceeded my expectations.
Oliver's expertise and dedication were evident from the start. He consistently selected the best conditions for our sessions, ensuring optimal learning and a safe environment. The equipment provided was top-notch, contributing to a seamless and enjoyable learning experience.
What truly stood out was Oliver's patience and ability to tailor the lessons to my progress. Despite being a beginner, I felt confident under his guidance. In just 5 hours of lessons, I progressed from body dragging to confidently riding in both directions, up and down wind. Oliver's teaching style, attention to detail, and encouragement played a crucial role in this rapid advancement.
I highly recommend this kitesurfing school. The personalized approach, combined with excellent equipment and ideal conditions, make it a standout choice for anyone looking to embark on an exciting kitesurfing journey. Thank you Oliver for an...
