We had a great time at Upwind Kitesurfing in Barbados. This is probably the best school in Barbados, since the instructor (Simon) is one of the most advanced kitesurfers on the island. Thanks for a great time!
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience we had in three days with you Simon, your family business is just great and very flexible :) We will sure be back if we are able to ! Please come over to Switzerland and we'll put you an a snowboard ;)
Simon is an excellent instructor, he knows this sport backwards and does a great job of explaining it clearly and picking up on anything that needs changing to improve results
Just enjoyed the best three days taking group lessons with Simon.
Simon is exceptional on the island for not only being a world ranking competitive kitesurfer, but uniquely one who has also done the recognised training courses, got the proper papers that build your kite flying skills and progress you as quickly as you can, SAFELY. And he is inspiring, super calm and fun.
Combine that with the admin backup and efficiency of Rolf, who was also out with his kite every day just for the fun of it, whilst still offering support and tips and you have a great match of passion, organisation and knowledge.
Never easy knowing who to pick from afar, but this turned out to be one of my better decisions.
I hope you have as much fun as we did.

Had a fantastic experience with Up Wind Kitesurf school. It was my first time to try kitesurfing, Simon was an amazing teacher and I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the whole experience. By the end of a few lessons I was up on the board and will be doing it again next year! Thank you Simon!
Had an amazing experience last year, very good instructed beginner lesssons with Simon and Rolf. Both are highly professional teachers going through every important detail step by step with lots of kind patience. All North equipment used is up to date and of high standard. I would definitely recommend upwind kitesurf school..... From a frightened beginner to now intermediate who is loving the sport! 😊 Thank you Simon and Rolf
Took kitesurfing lessons with Simon and Rolf over the Labor Day weekend. They are awesome! Quick responses, extremely nice, very knowledgeable/ experienced kitesurfers, and excellent teachers! They even came and picked us up from our airbnb for our lessons, and made recommendations of places to visit and things to do on the island during the rest of their stay. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!
