I had a similar experience as the other reviewers who said that Bart and the other instructors often didn't respond to my calls or texts
For two of the lessons after I learned to handle the kite on land, only around 1/4 of the actual lesson time was spent in the water because lesson time was lost due to the instructors showing up late numerous times, taking forever to put on their wetsuits, and wasting countless time talking to others, the kites not being ready and we had to pump them, the instructor realizing the kite was bad when we got to the water so we had to get out and walk back to get a better one, us walking one way along the beach only for the instructor to realize it was too crowded and we walked to the opposite direction. All this trouble with lessons despite paying nearly $1000!
Bart only gave a minimal partial refund when I told him about all the time I lost due to the instructor. Maybe it would be better if they just offered jetski and helmet radio lessons so that way so much lesson time won't be lost
Before taking any lessons, I emailed Bart and asked to make sure that it would typically only take 6-9 hours of instruction before learning to ride on my own, and he said yes. Since then I've asked other schools, and they were offered more realistic replies by saying it would take at least 10+ hours of lessons in the water to surf on my own, but AFTER first learning to handle the kite on land.
I remember that some of my lessons were on Saturdays, which I didn't realize were more busy until the instructors mentioned it when I asked about it. If they had told me that at the beginning, that also could've helped save me valuable lesson time
TLDR: Bart and the instructors often don't reply to calls/texts; over half of lesson time was lost due to instructors being late, talking to others, getting new kites, walking along the beach and in/out of the water; and they are deceptive when they say it only takes 6-9 hours of instruction to surf on your own - via
