We had paid for a 6 hours day course, and the teacher was amazing. When the lesson began we were told that we weren’t booked for the full 6 hours, but for 4 hours and then we should do the remaining 2 hours some other time - even though we were told on the phone we could do 6 hours.
But because of what they recommend we though, sure - and only took the 4 hours instead of 6 and booked the last 2 hours the week after.
As for many, they cancelled our lesson and closed do to COVID-19 which is totally understandable. What’s not understandable is them not refunding the last two hours. We have gone back home to Denmark and will not be returning to Australia for the last two hours and not gonna spend it as “store credit”. So that’s money out the pocket. Even more disappointing is they have stopped answering my e mails - hence this review.
Pretty sure their company terms says noting about not refunding lessons, that they cancelled, because of a world epidemic.

I absolutely loved my kiting lesson with KR! They’ve sparked a new addiction for me! My instructor was very knowledgeable and has given me the confidence to further my kiting.
