We just returned from our first-ever family kite surfing trip to La Ventana, and we can't say enough about Jayeson and Gonzo at Evolution Kiteboarding! They are incredibly skilled kite boarders and teachers (both with over 10 years of teaching experience), they are so down to earth and genuinely kind people, and they knew exactly how to make the whole experience super fun, safe, and special for the whole family (me, wife and kids ages 17, 15, and 13).

Jayeson is the man. The perfect balance of friendliness combined with kiting expertise. I felt like less of a student and more of a friend getting lessons from another buddy. Not only did i get kiting lessons, but Jayeson helped me to navigate La Ventana because it was my first time there.I had taken three lessons in san francisco towards the end of the season, but wanted to get more lessons before i felt comfortable kiting on my own, so i decided to come down to LV.

My wife and I came to to go kitesurfing and she wanted to take some lessons to continue where she ended up after learning from scratch. We compared the schools and talked to several people. We ended up with the great teacher Jayeson. He has profound knowledge and knows how to communicate to people who are new to the sport and also advanced riders. He is friendly, patient, overall professional and very hands on.

Excellent lessons from caring kitesurfing teachers. A great mixture of encouragement, tough love, and good hands-on (as in you're in the water!) instruction. La Ventana is a mecca for kitesurfing, and the community is cool, skilled and super fun to watch / be around. Good vibes. Can't wait to return for me, and for that kitesurfing smile!

I took lessons with Jayeson and Isabelle as a beginner with little experience. I was soon able to feel comfortable in the deep and wavy waters of La Ventana: such an amazing experience! I always felt very safe and in control thanks to their step-by-step teaching methods. I definitely recommend one on one versus group lessons; it's more pricey, but definitely worth it in my opinion.
