After three days I had my first upwind ride. Arja has incredible patience and explains everything step by step. Brouwersdam is the perfect spot — shallow water, great wind. Absolutely recommend.

Already a kiter but stuck on my progression. One coaching hour with Arja and I finally understood what I was doing wrong. The headset makes the difference.
