I heard about kiteboarding a few years ago and really wanted to try it. Unfortunately, getting into the sport seemed like a daunting task and I couldn't really find a school or a private tutor without emptying my wallet. I came across KFA's website and was pleasantly surprised by their affordable package prices. The lessons themselves were also very helpful to me. They call their lesson packages "stages", starting with stage 1, which teaches basic kite handling, safety procedures and important concepts surrounding wind physics. I took their stage 1 and it offered a wealth of information I would have missed trying to learn kiting on my own. The instructors were very knowledgeable and patient with me, which is a plus. They seemed to have all the bases covered with respect to gear and equipment. You are provided with a kite, a helmet with a radio transmitter (so they can instruct you if you're in the water), harness, bar, and life jacket. Their availability was also not a problem. They were prompt with their response and booked a lesson for me very quickly. I definitely recommend giving these guys a try if you're a kiteboarding newbie or enthusiast. Even if you're an expert, they have advanced lessons, which I'm definitely going to be taking! read more

I recently discovered kiteboarding and its getting really popular on the coast and surprisingly I found strong kiteboarding community here at the Midwest. Kiteboarding is a lot of fun and not too difficult to learn. This school has great equipment that is easy to learn on. Those radio helmets really helped me to learn fast when the instructor made comments while I was flying the kite. The rescue boat was ready anytime that I needed help and this made me feel safe when I was in the water. The instructors were also very friendly and helpful. They are also very passionate and excited about kiteboarding and about their student's success. Thanks a lot! I like skiing, so I can't wait to try snowkiting during the winter! read more

Taking lessons from Kite Force Academy was definitely a great experience. I love trying new activities, and this definitely tops them all. I definitely appreciated that the group lesson was small and that I received individualized attention. John and Aleks are great and highly experienced instructors that made learning how to kiteboard fun and easy, especially since it's difficult to learn on your own. This was a priceless experience, and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a unique and exhilarating sport in Kansas City! read more

I had a few short lessons with these guys while I was in Kansas City. John's a very good instructor and showed me the ropes so that I was able to pick up kiting pretty quickly. And having interacted with these guys, I know they're very eager to teach, and are out kiting whenever they can, no matter what the weather. That's some dedication! My only regret is moving away, but I still kite with these guys when I visit KC. If you've ever been curious about kiting, these guys are definitely worth checking out. read more
