I've had lessons from a few different instructors. I've learned tons from everyone...but there is something super special about Andy at Will & Liz Brady's school. We've been hanging out here at Floras & it's been great. Andy is very helpful, professional and there is a calm about him that makes you feel secure. It was a big wind day and no one is out...except Andy. This guy is 6ft or so, maybe 190 lbs and on a "4". He pulls off these amazing moves on the lake, then without skipping a beat...strides down to the ocean waves which were gnarly at best. He just jumps over huge turbulant everything, glides down big waves for awhile and just strides back up the beach and back across the lake like it was no big deal. Truly beautiful to watch. Many of us on the beach were watching in awe. The guy is amazing! Also very nice with no attitude.
I highly recommend him for lessons of any kind.

PS. Super packed campground all week long. If you want to get your gal into kiting...stay at the B&B and take lessons. You won't regret the investment.

Hi Mel,
This is Liz . I just wanted to say how much we appreciate all the great things you had to say about Andy and our school . It's not often people will go out of their way to give positive feedback in a forum like this, and it means a lot to us .
Andy was out on the water the other night with some students until 9:45pm - the guy has gumption !!!
Thanks again 
Liz |

Just to add to the love, a friend told me yesterday how great her experience was taking lessons with Andy over a few days this month. She was stoked!
He obviously has great role models to emulate

| Heading down for a lesson on the 3rd of August. I can not wait as all the reveiws are stellar. It is too bad all the other schools out there dont take lessons from them on how to give lessons. |

Still here in Floras...in camp spot #20. We've been doing group dinners with fellow kite people. Come by and say hello or I'll see you on the beach. Riding RPM's...
