My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast today learning from John with Manta! I had taken a couple beginner lessons with other instructors around San Diego in the past and John’s instruction and enthusiasm go far beyond the rest. He is patient and excels at teaching you everything you need to start practicing kiting on your own before you are experienced enough to take the next step. 5/5 would recommend and I look forward to learning from him again! – via

Excellent introductory lesson! I paid for a two hour course but John actually kept the lesson going for about an extra half hour to make sure I had the basics needed to set up the kite and fly it on land. The instruction moves fast but that helps him get out the required information within the alloted time. I ended up purchasing some equipment from John so I can progress my land skills faster and will hopefully get in the water sooner. The prices of the gear he sold me were significantly less than I could find online. From what I found, I saved about $400 buying local vs the online stores so his prices are more than competitive. I really appreciated the candid lesson and the emphasis on safety. I didn’t leave the lesson ready to get in the water but I never expected that from an introductory lesson. I was able to take my new gear, go to the Coronado beach on a day with not so good wind (8 – 12 mph), set up the kite, launch and fly it. I definitely plan to schedule an additional lesson with Manta/John once I feel good doing all the stuff he already taught me. I couldn’t imagine how much more difficult it would be to try this sport without the quality instruction John provided. Highly recommend anyone interested in this sport to contact John and schedule a lesson..then show up, listen and learn! – via

John is the man, I left my pump on the beach last weekend and gave him a call. He got me squared away with a new pump within the hour. – via

I just had a 2 hour private lesson (beginner, I have never done this) with John and he hands down is an EXCELLENT instructor. His approach is practical and down to earth. He talks about unlearning a lot of what we have learned in other areas of our life to safely and successfully fly a kite which was super helpful for me!! I kept on wanting to “drive” the kite versus maneuvering it like the handle bars on a bike. He is huge into safety and teaches you how to prevent unsafe situations as well as how to get out of them. He’s just a relatable teacher. I wish I lived here because I would be taking more lessons with him. San Diego is luckily to have such a great, passionate instructor. I read some other reviews that were negative and I never experienced anything negative, only positive support, good clear teaching and super helpful feedback as needed. Thank you John!! I think you may have ignited a new passion for me! It will be Corpus Christi until I’m back in San diego! – via

Everything he teaches is practical and after 1 year of kiting, I still use every skill from my first lesson with Manta!
At the time of the lesson, it seemed like there was a lot of extra or unnecessary information. But now looking back, I realize all of that information was gold and put me ahead of the curve out in the kiting world.
Take his class, it’s super useful and a great (and safe) way to get into the sport. – via

Loves to hear himself talk and brag about himself and teaching everything the “right way”. Unfortunately there’s little instruction (out of a 4 hour lesson I got maybe 20 minutes of instruction), few chances to ask questions, and you get yelled at for not doing it the right way the first time, and no positive reinforcement. I’m sure that he’s a great kiteboarder on his own, however he’s the type of person who’s good at something but can’t teach it to someone else because he’s good at it. – via
