At The Kitesurf Centre, coaching is where real progression happens. We have one of the strongest coaching teams in the UK, with highly experienced instructors specialising across all levels — from early progression through to advanced Big Air, freestyle, wave riding and foiling.
Expert Coaching to Take Your Riding Further
Based at Camber Sands, we benefit from some of the most consistent wind in the UK and beaches that work across all wind directions, making it one of the best locations in the country for structured progression coaching.
Whether you're refining technique or pushing performance, our coaching is built to take your riding further, faster. Our team is made up of highly experienced watermen and active riders who live and breathe watersports every day — each coach brings a different background, style and area of expertise, giving you access to one of the most well-rounded coaching lineups in the UK.
Meet the Coaches
Brad has been teaching watersports since the age of 16, building a career that has taken him to some of the most unique coaching locations in the world, including Necker Island, part of Richard Branson's private island portfolio. A true all-round waterman, his approach is calm, practical and experience-led, focusing on strong foundations, confidence and control in all conditions.
Ian is a progressive kitesurfer with a strong technical eye for detail. His coaching style has been shaped through years of close rider development, particularly through structured video analysis and long-term progression tracking, including the development of his son Max. Ian specialises in technical refinement — the small adjustments that create significant gains in performance and efficiency.
Max is a professional international rider for Duotone and one of the leading Big Air kitesurfers in the UK, competing internationally at the highest level. His focus is modern Big Air progression, kite loops and performance-level execution, bringing cutting-edge riding standards directly into our coaching environment.

The Coaching Environment & Who It's For
Our location gives us a major advantage for progression. With access to both Camber Sands and Greatstone, we can select the best conditions depending on wind direction and tide. This means more water time, better learning conditions, faster progression and real-world riding experience in all conditions.
Our coaching is ideal if you want to break through a plateau in your riding, progress in Big Air, freestyle or foiling, improve technical consistency, transition into new watersports disciplines, or train with experienced, active riders.
