A lot of people stop taking lessons the moment they become self sufficient even though they have so much more that someone can teach them. For example, do you remember your first lesson when your instructor showed you how to attach your lines using a larks head knot? The technique is simple enough, but how many different knot variations would you have gone through before you landed on that one simple solution?! Those “little tricks” don’t stop in your beginner days and there are a lot more of these valuable bits of information to learn throughout the years.
One-on-One Coaching:
Whether you have specific goals that you’d like to reach (just can’t quite stick those jibes) or just need a “tune up” on a bunch of little things that you feel you could improve on – a few hours with Reo one-on-one can help you solve those problems and reach your goals.
Bluetooth communication:
When working one-on-one with Reo, we utilize bbTalkin bluetooth headsets on the water so we can give clear instructions in real time with the ability of two way communication. Enjoy a private session with one of the best wave riders in the world while clearly understanding his coaching and being able to ask questions while riding. Contact Reo for more information on how it works.
Available anywhere in the world:
Although based on Oahu, Hawaii, Reo is available for private coaching anywhere you’re based or going for your next kite trip.
Contact Reo for availability and details on how you can have him personally point out the proper techniques and “tricks” to help you accomplish your goals.
“Thank you, for an amazing 2 days One-on-One Coaching… I thought I wanted a group lesson, but really feel I got so much out of this. Obviously its almost impossible to implement ALL your coaching and specific comments instantaneously. But I really feel I now have a definitive list in my head of changes I need to make and every time i make them i feel an improvement. I really feel your expert guidance and analysis will make me a completely different rider over the next 6 months, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. I finally have one voice to listen to that makes perfect sense to me. Also your ability to point out the equipment that needed changing has made a massive difference too, things I haven’t realized or wanted to spend money on that made a big leap forwards for me. – – Thank you so much; I look forward to coming back for more, and feel my riding will become safer, more enjoyable and way more fun, and i am really looking forward to a group coaching session too.” – Ben N.
