    Eric is a fantastic teacher, he is passionate about kitesurfing, has vast experience and adapts his approach to your individual needs. He is both easy going and fun but also tough when needed to make sure you don't adopt any bad habits early on. He provides all the necessary gear and also uses a radio integrated into the helmet to communicate with you at all times. I was in Mauritius for ten days and had about 12 hours with him where he got me to the point to (*almost*) reliably waterstart as well as kitesurf upwind, enjoying many good runs. Highly recommend him!

    Eric is a great kite teacher, he explains everything in detail and helps to improve your skills on every trial. I learned a lot in a short period of time! You‘re always connected to him with a headset so you can hear him from everywhere which helps a lot. Thank you for that nice experience!

    I’m a student from Germany and I wanted to learn Kitesurfing a little bit during my vacation in Mauritius. Eric was a very good and ambitious kiteteacher. I learned a lot about kitesurfing from him, theoretically and practically. After three kitesurfing lessons I managed to stand on the board and I’m really happy that I was able to make this experience. Eric always did it step by step, which is a very good way, because now I know every important thing about kitesurfing. With Eric, the kitesurfing lessons were always a lot of fun and I liked his kind of personality, because he‘s a very friendly and cheerful person.

    I’ve had a 6 sessions with Eric. Each was perfect and I have learned a lot. Eric is a great coach and he has a very thought through learning method. He not only wants you to progress but also he wants you to fully understand what you are doing so you become more and more confident with your actions after each sesion. During the lesson Eric is fully focused on you, and keeps encouraging to do better each time. Equipemeny provided is very good quality and well maintained. 100% recommendation.

    Highly recommend! I took three days lessons with Eric and learnt a lot (!) and gained confidence. Material was really good and the radios integrated in the helmet were comfortable and helpful.

    What a great experience! Communication and scheduling with the team was easy and smooth. Once in the water Eric, the instructor, was quickly able to fix my issues and take me to the next level. Safety is top priority all in the while having a blast! Eric takes great care and pays attention to every detail that can make you a complete kitesurfer. Thank you to all the team for the exciting days spent together, hopefully we meet again around the world! Cheers :)

  • 1/5 Annelies van B. 1 year ago on Google
    After 2 sessions, I decided not to continue with Eric's kite surf coaching because I experienced an inpatient, angry and slightly aggressive approach to coaching. The first lesson ended up in tears, making me fear the kite. The introduction chat on the beach was done while he was fully engaged on his cell phone. I asked him many questions, most of which were already answered before I finished my sentence. And even some questions were Shssst away. This approach of teaching/ coaching might be successful for many other people, but it wasn't for me. I think his equipment, enthusiasm, and experience on Kite surfing are great; however, I would not give him my best rank on coaching, as that is how he manifests himself on the internet. All in all, a very disappointing experience.

    Eric is an exceptional teacher both in the theory and practical aspects of kite surfing. Three of us took lessons from him and we received an excellent first introduction to the sport. We are looking forward to continuing now the cyclone is over. We can fully recommend Eric!

    Eric is the man and the location is incredible. My wife took beginner lessons and I hired gear, Eric was super helpful and a genuine good guy. We both improved massively. Looking forward to the next trip.

    I had a great experience learning kitesurfing here. The instructor is a great guy, who will make you learn fast and have fun at the same time, all while ensuring your safety at all times and adjusting the pace to your individual needs. Prices are competitive too. Can fully recommend!

    Eric is FANTASTIC... an outstanding kitesurf coach who not only has a strong emphasis on safety - which makes you feel safe and confident whilst you learn - but also is a fun, charming, warm, kind and patient teacher. We could not have asked for a better coach. We will be, without reservation, recommending him to our friends who want to learn, or improve at, kitesurfing. And we will be back!!

    Eric Philippe is an amazing kite teacher and someone with a lot of knowledge while being very humble. He is dynamic and very precise in his teaching techniques. He naturally connects with kids and teens. I strongly recommend him.

  • 5/5 Paul F. 2 years ago on Google
    Eric is a wonderful coach. His commitment to correct technique becomes clear once you are on your own when the penny suddenly drops! His explanations and repeat instructions are patiently given and reinvented if you cannot grasp the concept. After four lessons I was able to start, stop, take long free runs, recover the board, tack upwind and all the other required aspects to become ‘independent’ Thanks Eric, much appreciated

  • 5/5 Tobias Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a refresher lesson with Eric and really enjoyed it. He is an incredibly experienced and passionate kitesurfing instructor. Since he is from Mauritius, he knows exactly which spot has the best wind and even drives there with you. I was lucky enough to go to the wonderful Poste La Fayette beach with him and had an unforgettable surf. Greetings from Austria, Tobias

    Eric is very professional, talented, patient and easy to talk to. Best instructor to learn from.

  • 5/5 D.G. W. 3 years ago on Google
    Eric is an accomplished kiting instructor, and I can say that learning the sport under his guidance has been a fun, safe, and rewarding experience. I was new to the sport when I met Eric and his lessons have given me a solid foundation -- we covered safety systems, kite control, launching/landing, self-rescue, water start and now I am working on transitions. Eric is patient and very thorough -- a first-rate teacher overall. Learning from him has been really fun. I also liked that we were able to have lessons in different spots on the island (le morne and anse la raie).

    Eric is a fantastic kitesurfing instructor. He is very patient, and definitely teaches the material in a way that will make it stick. I will never forget what I learned with him, which was a lot, and I am very grateful.

    Eric has been such a great teacher for me. We had a bit of a rocky start with covid 19 coming into place and us having to postpone our lessons multiple times. I recently have left Mauritius to live in a new country and I can comfortably say that my last session with Eric was the best and that I learnt to kitesurf under his teachings. His English(he also speaks french and Mauritian Creole) is great and also teaches you things that other instructors will not. He’s a great talkative man who is a fantastic teacher. Everyone looking to learn kitesurfing should definitely start with this man! Thank you Eric.
