Humberto is an excellent teacher. Kiteboarding is a technical sport and Humberto has the ability to communicate, demonstrate, and correct in a most comfortable way. I took a half day private lesson with him and can't wait to apply what I learned back home. Humberto was gracious with his time, I never felt rushed, in fact he took much more time with me than scheduled or billed. I actually payed him much more than his quoted price due to his expertise and graciousness. He also has a very calm personality and communication style. He does a very good job of keeping you relaxed and enjoying the learning process.
Humberto has also stayed in touch we me after our lesson, providing insights into equipment and how to continue to learn.
What was cray cray cool about my lesson is when I had to walk upwind. I had to do this probably 3 or 4 times and it only took a couple minutes. Humberto took the kite and board to meet upwind and wow, what an experience that was watching him. He would do tricks right in front of me and this was incredible. I have watched videos of master kiteboarders but its different when they are doing tricks, literally right over your head. Lets just say Humberto is not afraid of heights. Guessing he was getting 25 to 35 feet above the water. After watching this, I can't wait to immerse myself in this incredible sport.
Don't be scared of the sport. I saw numerous folks of all ages doing it during our lesson. From young girls to old men.
