- 2 Day Kite Lesson
-
Booked a 2-day course with the guys from Blast and they did not disappoint - first class instruction from Marc and Richie, with sessions jam packed full of hints, tips and fables. Can't wait for some wind now to try the new kite!

I'd been thinking of giving kite surfing a go for a good few years but your videos being shared on facebook the last year or so made me think about it a bit more seriously. I then saw this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNNjzhQF9k&t=41s) and, despite the fact that there is not a single kite in it, I immediately decided that if I was going to learn it would be with blast. It prompted me to look into both the sport and blast further and, partially thanks to your website, it wasn't long before I decided I needed to learn ASAP (and then, naturally, before I could do so I buggered my knee and broke my hand in quick succession :lol: MTB/BMX)
The reason that video had such an effect was that I connected with it more than the kite surfing vids I'd seen (in fact, right up until I was up and riding, I was only interested in kite surfing as a vaguely fun way to get in the water between good surf). It showed great appreciation of a place I love as well as for waves and wave riding. I felt very authentic, made by someone wanting to show the beauty of porthcawl/the sea and not by someone purely trying to drive traffic to their business via social media, just because that's what everyone else does these days. Watching it again today, it still evokes a strong response - I want to be out in that water right now!
No idea how much of this translates to other people, but you certainly hit the nail on the head with that video as far as I was concerned and I hope that's in some way helpful feedback.Value Quality Price - Stop thinking about it, just do it

I have been kiting for about 7 years now but have never tried kitesurfing. After seeing some kitesurfers on the water and watching lots of videos i decided to book the 2 day course. Even though i had flown kites before i found the day 1 intro very interesting and learnt many things, it was a lot of fun body dragging upwind. On the second day i tried my first board starts which is a lot harder than it looks! but i really enjoyed the challenge, when i finally got up for about 5 seconds it was one of the best kiting moments i have ever had. Both Marc and Sarah are great instructors being patient and encouraging. I felt very safe when out of the water and was not pushed out of my comfort zone. I will defiantly continue this amazing sport.

I booked the two day learn to kite course. It was awesome from beginning to end. I have wanted to learn to kite for many years but struggled to find the time and if I'm honest the GUTS ! Marc was a brilliant patient instructor who made sure I stayed in my comfort zone which enabled me to gain confidence and make good progression. I had both days of the course at Coney Beach in Porthcawl which is a lovely big sandy beach with shallow water to learn in at low tide and plenty of room. It was an absolute pleasure to meet the other kite surfers who made me feel very welcome that were out at Coney - many of which have been taught by Blast. I now can't wait to continue my lessons and become good enough to go on one of Blasts Holidays !!

I took my 2 day lesson in September as I wanted to be sure I would enjoy the sport before investing in the gear. It was the best thing I did, not only did I get top quality instruction on safety, kite flying and board starts, I also got a great welcome into a growing community of kitesurfers. Amazing when you consider that with the money off your gear deal it's FREE!
Price Value Quality - Top experience.

Great coaches and a positive experience. I previously had lessons about 4 years ago, but had a bad experience with a grumpy instructor who just wanted my money. Thought would give it another go and found Blast just over the bridge from Bristol.
What a difference. Marc is passionate and easy to get on with. He has plenty of enthusiasm and as well as getting the instruction across, knows how to motivate and bring you along.
If you are thinking of taking up the sport, then look no further than Blast :) Worth travelling for.
I have bought a package (Epic) and was given impartial advice from Marc. One my first visit he introduced my to other kite surfers "to keep an eye on me". Cant get better than that. Just wish my shifts coincide with the wind and i started earlier in the year.Price Value Quality - Impeccable Service

I had been thinking for ages to learn how to kitesurf being a passionate snowboarder, surfer and wakeboarder together with the standard on shore winds, I was missing my fix when I couldn't go surfing - so I booked a two day course with Marc and Sarah, best decision I'd made!
Absolute professionalism shown throughout the 2 days but kept fun for maximum engagement!
The stories Marc has will keep you on your toes :) The after sales service is impeccable also, helping you find correct kit for you and your riding ability together with further tips, they kindly welcome you to join them to practice what you've learnt when they head down to the beach & make sure you are in a safe environment practicing what you have learnt on the course.
Great community of new people to meet, I highly recommend Blast Kiteboarding!
Get on board!Price Value Quality - What a Blast!

After trying to kite surf under the instruction of my novice boyfriend (and getting in trouble with the coastguard!), I decided to get some instruction from people who knew what they were doing. This is definitely what I got from Blast! At the start of the course, I was very nervous about kitesurfing, as I had begun to hear about how dangerous kitesurfing would be - and after my run in with the coastguard, I was beginning to wonder if I was silly to try kitesurfing at all! However, my instructor, Marc, immediately put me at ease with his great knowledge and experience. He was extremely friendly, fun and enthusiastic about teaching our group. The group was very small, and so there was lots of opportunity for 1-1 teaching. Marc was very good at noticing when we were struggling slightly with an exercise, giving us individualised teaching, and praising us when we had adequately perfected the exercise. He also taught us some theory about the power window, tides, etc, giving me a greater depth of understanding of what environmental aspects to look out for when kitesurfing. After the 2 days, I left feeling far more confident, and excited to get back into the water.
Thanks to all the Blast team for making this such a pleasant experience.Price Value Quality - Back soon for more

Just a very quick post to recommend Blast Kiteboarding and thank them for their time, patience and good humour this week.
I decided to learn another kite skill and booked a 2 day course via the Blast website, I waited until the last minute to ensure wind direction and good winds.
I ended up with sunshine, warm water and great winds . The kites supplied were this years Epic Renegade 5G kites, and they are easy to fly and stable for novices but are capable kites producing a smooth power build when worked, I guess you could call them progressive.
We flew at Aberavon and it must be the least time I have had to travel to get to a flying zone, the set up area was I guess was within 300 meters of the road, the beach was very clean and free of debris.
Thanks to Marc, Richie and Tom I had a couple of fantastic days learning the basics.
I can’t recommend Blasts Kiteboarding enough to you all, its owned and run by enthusiasts who not only give their students time and attention but are quick to help other fliers on the beach with hints and tips to enable them to progress or nail the trick.
Thanks all, I will definitely be back.Quality Price Value
