In 1999 I wa in Maui windsurfing, and I met 2 guys that were kiting on the water. Learning the hard way. Basic black and blue. That's all I needed to see! I'm in!
   PHIL BURKE
           owner/ instructor

Phil Has been flying kites since 1997. He's Both PASA and IKO certified...

I learned the HARD WAY. It was painful! I learned all the wrong things not to do....... Fortunately without serious injury(only dislocations, minor abrasions and contusions)
I started on buggies and first moved to skis on the frozen lakes. After it would snow, it was incredible! Speeding across the freshly fallen snow with just the sound of the lines whistling in the wind.

Phil is a certified and insured KITEBOARDING INSTRUCTOR by PASA & IKO .

Phil is a TEAM RIDER for EPIC KITES

Enzo merluzzi

The original founder of Kitewise.
He's introduced Kiting to hundred of people around the world. He doesn't seem to like Cold Weather because he ends up somewhere warm all the time! Mexico. the Baja, Brazil The Outer Banks. As he is really a vampire, there are no pictures of him!

He's always got a smile for everybody on the beach. Ask him about his daughter!!

Wendy is one of our Guest Instructors. As you can see, she has style! As an Eclipse team rider, her responsibility is to show you how it should be done. As a resident of The Outer Banks of North Carolina, she can ride the flat water of the Pamlico Sound or the awesome waves of the Atlantic. She is not only accomplished kiter but a fearless surfer too.

LAUREN K. SHOWS A BIG SMILE.

Laurens Stoke for kiting really rubs off. As a rider for ECLIPSE KITES she's hitting the water every opportunity. Look for her in Hatteras or the Boston area!
Thrusters for showing off and Nanos for the waves!!!!

Caleb L. jumps to blind. If it's windy, you can count on Caleb being there.

He's always willing to lend a hand. Kiting in Hatteras and Ct. is just not enough!
