Ben is the BEST!
Took three days of kiteboarding lessons while visiting Hawaii and couldn’t say enough about how much fun this was! He is professional, positive, and tailors each lesson to the individual. Never once felt unsafe. Loved the radio helmet.
If you are a local: after the first set of lessons he has a buddy system available to pair you with other locals of equal ability in order for you to be able to help each other progress.
Definitely interested in coming back to Kailua to kite soon! Thanks Ben!
Just a hint: Listen to Ben CAREFULLY and you will be up and riding in no time!

My 20-​year old daughter and I took several lessons from Ben the week of April 5. Simply outstanding. Not only is he an outrageous kiteboarder, he is an excellent teacher. If you visit Kailua beach park behind the Kalapawai market, almost any day you are likely to find Ben – he’s the guy setting out the orange safety cones and using the radio equipped white helmets to help talk his students through the moves while they are out on the water. Super teacher who will get you up on the board quickly while not missing a beat on the safety steps. A+ in my book.

Sailed with Ben yesterday. I am a sailor, former windersurfer and beginning/​intermediate kiter who gets out on the water once a year or so. So am not total beginner but very rusty. Ben was great at tailoring his lesson plan to my skill level, adjusting the equipment as needed.
Great time and strongly recommend him.

When I first moved to Hawaii in 2013 I looked into getting some kitesurfing lessons in Kailua. I found a couple instructors who gave me some good pointers and got me in the water. But it wasn’t until I took a lesson from Ben at scratch kite-​surfing, did I actually start to get a real understanding and feel for the sport. Ben uses a two way radio system to guide the student so that s/​he feels like they are getting real time instruction while actually kite-​surfing. He also has a way of teaching that makes everything click. He has a great teaching style, he is upbeat and really pumps you up to reach your kite-​surfing potential. Highly recommended! Thanks… Ben

I have great experience with Ben of Scratch Kitesurfing! I tried several instructors at Kailua beach park but Ben was my favorite. I’m a very slow learner and I appreciate Ben stay calm all the time. Even now, when I go on my own he keep his eye on me and pointing my mistakes to keep me safe. Highly recommend to go with this shop, great value and customer service!

When I asked my kiteboarding friends where to learn kiteboarding the pro said call Ben «he foils, races, teaches & understands kiting the best». My friend was right on. You want to have fun learning to kiteboard, call Ben. Great guy and an honest business. When the wind did not allow me to complete the last of the prepaid sessions while I was in Oahu, it was promptly refunded. No requests, phone calls needed. I’ll be back.
