If you’re looking to learn kiteboarding look no further than David at DKP. From the first lesson you’ll be greeted by a blend of professionalism and friendliness.

David is the epitome of patience and kindness, making sure that every lesson was tailored to fit my skill level and progression. He explained every technique clearly, ensuring that all the basics were covered before moving on.

I’d been wanting to try foiling for years and finally took the plunge and booked lessons with David. He did not disappoint! Great instruction tailored to build confidence with each attempt. He had both of us up foiling within an hour from our base of zero previous experience. If you’re interested in trying to foil, or progressing to wing foil, look no further than D.

Amazing time.

Had a few lessons before meeting David and learned so much additional information/tips.

Was great to work up to power strokes and dives. Great, safe instruction and gear. Feel like I am totally prepared for the water!

I had a really awesome experience doing wing foil training through DKP! I signed up for the 1hr land training and then a 2hr foil behind boat session. I learned ton and feel like I now have the foundation to go practice by myself. It seems like the coolest sport and I can't wait to be able to do it proficiently. David was a really great coach - super knowledgeable and good at communicating the steps. I would highly recommend to anyone trying to get into the sport

David is an outstanding kiteboarding teacher! I was able to go from never having flown a kite to being able to do some jump tricks in 5 hours of ground lessons! This was possible because of David’s impressive teaching skills with which he was able to identify what needed improvement, my mistakes and give me critical feedback while still being extremely motivating and encouraging. I had an amazing experience, hope you can try it for yourself too :)

David is very knowledgeable and experienced and it really shows when he teaches. He goes through everything step by step and is very patient and easy-going. The location for lessons are also very convenient and beautiful places. More importantly, it saves you from having to go all the way to Nitnat lake. I highly recommend him for anyone in Victoria looking to learn kiteboarding!!!

I’ve been having a blast learning kiteboarding with David. He is patient knowledgeable and encouraging, and always has an answer to my questions. I appreciate how he takes the time to ensure I come away with a solid understanding.

I’d definitely recommend David and DKP!

I had a fantastic experience with David. I have taken lessons with a couple of people over the years and David was absolutely the best. Patient, encouraging, and flexible, combined with great technical knowledge. I can't wait to go again.

The foiling experience was awesome!! David is a really great instructor. I felt safe, learned lots and had so much fun. Thank you, David!

I did a beginner Wing Foil lesson with David and would highly recommend him for those interested in learning the sport!

Enthusiastic & patient.

David is a wonderful kiteboarding instructor! He is patient, knowledge and makes it a comfortable and fun learning environment. Highly recommend!

I messaged David about kiteboarding through his Instagram profile. We set up a time in the evening and he taught me the basics of setting up the kite, line handling, self rescue and wearing the Harness. By the second lesson, I was handling the kite with ease and understood the technique's to get out on the water. David is very passionate about this sport and wants to get anyone interested into kiteboarding. Highly recommended.

As an experienced kiter I was first impressed by David’s brilliant way of teaching Kitesurfing...I took the Wing Foil lessons. Between the JetSki tow and being accompanied on the water while learning the wing, I made rapid progress and I am now up on foil in much less time than I had anticipated. It’s great to have lessons in Victoria and David is prepared and professional through and through.

Fantastic experience. David is very communicative and helpful with planning your lessons. Very punctual and professional. All equipment is state of the art and in perfect condition. He is a great instructor and motivator. Highly recommend!!

David is extremely knowledgeable on everything from the ocean currents to intricate kiteboarding techniques. I felt very safe as I progressively learned the kiteboarding techniques and feel totally ready for the water.

I was super impressed with my experience @ DKP Kiteboarding. David is incredibly knowledgeable about the sport and all the factors involved in the sport ... like the tides, winds, currents & dangers. He had learning to Pump Foil behind his jetski in under 1 hour ... I already had some foiling experience already but was genuinely impressed with some of the pointers and advice he gave.

David is a fantastic guy and a great foiling coach. I will be sending anyone I know who is interested in learning to foil over to David for an on-water jetski lesson.

Dave is professional and most importantly very knowledgeable, providing detailed and effective feedback consistently. I felt the lessons were productive but also tons of fun!

Great instructor He is very patient and is very knowledgeable. He takes things very seriously with safety, which is very good, On the other hand I had some issues with certain things, but he was very quick to sort them out with me and has made the experience was awesome. I’ve had a really good time learning how to kite board with david would definitely recommend for a new comers to the sport !!

Had a great time out in the water learning wingfoiling basics from David. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to balance without much of a board sports background, but he took me through it to get up on the board and then up on foil for some brief moments, which was tricky to pick up.

Highly recommend! David is a very knowledgeable and patient instructor and knows his stuff! Super fun to be out on the water and learning to foil off beautiful Victoria, BC!

I recently completed kite boarding lessons from David Baker at DKP, and my experience surpassed all expectations. For anyone based in Victoria area interested in learning how to kite board, I cannot recommend David highly enough.

I had a great couple of tow sessions at Cattle Point! Really helped me get a feel for the foil and accelerated my progression by a lot. I like to think I went from zero to hero- well maybe not quite hero but a big improvement. David was super patient and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone getting into foiling.

David is very patient and comprehensive guy. Good times! Loved getting into kiteboarding vibes.

Lots of fun! I took extra lessons to really get the hang out it, and it was well worth it for me.

David and his colleague were awesome! Super informative and a great teacher I had a really great time and was super happy to start foiling!

Definitely recommend taking lessons with David, he’s professional, patient, and really helpful! As someone who had only been surfing, this was a completely new sport and I had the proper guidance and teaching in my progression with DKP to be up and wing foiling during my time in Victoria, no issue! What a blast 🏄‍♂️
