Testimonials:

 

 

"I have found x-sport's service, product knowledge, and range to be exemplary." (Rob 33,Chief donut hole 
cutter, Sandy Bay )

"Andy is the best kitesurfing teacher in Tassie, patience really is his virtue. (Sue 30, Lawyer, Battery Point)

"Andy's passion for kitesurfing was evident when I bought through X-Sport. He followed things up, provided me 
with great advice, and his prices were spot on too.  It was obvious that his total focus was on kiteboarding, and
kiteboarders." (David, 35, Sandy Bay)
 
"On meeting Andy and Xsport I was hooked. not only by the sport (I still can't stand on the board) but by 
Andy's professional tuition and advice. I invested in a Cabrinha CO2 12m and board and I'm not disappointed. 
After my initial lessons I was given 'free' tuition meaning I went out kiting where Andy gave lessons and under 
his watchful eyes. HELP was used and available.  He even made me drag up the Derwent a steep learning curve 
but he had all of us beginners in his radius and watchful sight. I can  highly recommend xsport, I'm a happy 
customer and look forward to more kiting next summer and hope that the Tassie kitesurfing followers grow
under his tuition , that we have a few good kitesurfing weekends next year up the east coast, and that I will 
be able to do the real thing next season but this will be my problem not Andy's.  So if you want to start this 
fantastic sport do it through xsport and Andy.  Not only is he a nice bloke but a accredited kitesurfig instructor 
who will show you the ropes but also very professional.  Look forward to a good season next year"
(Velten Tiemann, thirty something winemaker/viticulturalist from Richmond)
