Hey- I've been having a great time doing lessons all summer but this week is my last one.

What is a generous but reasonable amount to tip your kite teacher? This will be lesson number 8....I was kind of thinking $100.00 total, would like some input.

I would consider how much you spent on the lessons, and give him 15-20%, just like any other service industry, depending on how good you thought the service was.

If your instructor manages a shop, tip him well and he'll likely cut you sweet deals on gear! (mine does... Very Happy )

I would say second base is probably adequate.
