David is great coach! I wanted to work on jibing and made great progress with his help. He has really figured out how to break things down – and then help you pull them all together. Having him winging right along with you on the water is really invaluable. He has a great eye for identifying what is going wrong, and what you need to do in order to correct it. He is also extremely patient and supportive – I am so glad I found him! If you are considering lessons, you will not find anyone better than David.

David, first of all, is an amazing human! We need more people like him on this planet. 🙂 He tells you exactly what to do and not to do, and he watches you while you practice so he points out your issues and bad habits. I had to unlearn some of the bad habits that were preventing me from progressing. Wing foiling requires a lot of small techniques and David is really good at explaining them.

I was visiting Florida in January for a Foiling trip when I ran into David. I’m always open to learn new techniques so when David mentioned he was a coach I decided to check out a lesson. With only 6 mo’s experience, I was having a lot of issues getting up in light wind. He taught me step by step techniques on the shore to correct my pumping method on a day with maybe 11-12mph winds. It took a little practice, but now I am getting up in 11mph winds No Problem! He also corrected my posture so now my back doesn’t hurt at all while riding for several hours. Very happy I gave him a chance. You won’t be disappointed as he has years of wind experience. 5 ⭐️ for sure!!

Before today I’d taken a two hour Wing foil lesson and then went to Cabarete for a week and took lessons there as well. Today I learned more in the hour with David than I did with the other lessons I’ve taken thus far. He stays with you out on the water and goes step by step with the skills. So helpful. Looking forward to more sessions with him as I continue to learn!

Thanks so much Jenny! You were a great student. It's a pleasure to work with someone that can follow instructions so quickly and well!

David is a very patient and insightful teacher, somehow able to break down a complicated skill into smaller more digestible parts. I came to him a rank beginner (and still am) but his suggestions were enormously helpful. I can’t wait to get back on the water next summer. David inspired me to windsurf many decades ago, and now inspires me to wing!

Great session with step-by-step skill construction to improve technique. I am experienced but was feeling “stuck”; David coached me through some easy-to-implement changes and I am delighted at a great path forward.

Thanks Dave! You were great, making the change to a straight front arm much more consistently and quickly than many of my students. This helped you to implement the other changes we worked on. It was cool seeing you launch onto the foil in lighter wind than you ever had before!

David gave me my first Windsurfing lesson in the last millennium. Best lesson I ever had. We recently reconnected and I asked for an impromptu Wing Foiling Lesson. Best lesson I have ever had. He is very smart and laidback. But he takes on a wholly different persona with teaching. He has a no nonsense approach which is extremely effective for me. I have gotten pretty good at Winging and I still hear some of his tips echoing in my head when I am on the water. He really is a gifted teacher and I heartily recommend him.

Thanks Bill! I actually adjust my approach somewhat for each student. We had a conversation on the beach one day where you shared why you were not inclined towards analytical explanations. So next time I was coaching you, I just told you in the simplest terms how to adjust your technique, and it worked. Completed foiling jibes, with "no nonsense!"

David is a skilled rider with the rare ability to convey instructions and tips in a clear, simple manner. He quickly assesses rider skill and meets you where you are. David can help you wing efficiently and build skills confidently.

Thanks Cindi! That's a strong review, considering I'd only coached you for your free 15 minutes when you wrote it. I guess that's because a simple modification to your technique and one exercise you could do in that time frame was enough to get you foiling through your jibes!
