My husband and I took our first kite surfing lessons this week and had a blast! Our instructors were Andy and Megan. Scheduling was easy and Next Level provided all the equipment. We highly recommend Megan to anyone interested in a lesson; she was fun and helpful and very patient as we learned how to handle the kite! If we return next season well definitely request a group lesson with Megan!

Jake our instructor was awesome and make my boys (ages 12, 10, 8 and 7) first experience Wake Surfing and Wake Boarding an awesome one. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable.

Im heading to Nantucket tomorrow for the first time and called Next Level to ask some questions about the launches, any local rules, wind and tides, etc. (Im an experienced kiteboarder coming in from Oregon and bringing my own gear.) John was great to talk to. He gave me all sorts of good tips and information about the area. If I decide to try foiling or e-foil or something Ill definitely go with Next Level. Thanks John!

Great group of guys that really know their stuff. Been kiting for years. Wast in Nantucket looking to get out. They had the local knowledge and were very helpful. Was also in Marthas Vineyard. They have some great kiting locations. Definitely recommend going with them for lessons. They had all their students cruising when I was out there with them.

A great experience from the very beginning. I emailed them pretty late on Saturday evening, not expecting to hear back until Monday and I got a message back that night. They called me on Sunday and we scheduled a lesson for that week. My instructor Ben was awesome... super nice and very encouraging! Would definitely reccomend this place to anyone.

John and his employees are warm, responsive, and helpful. Our young boys had a blast tubing, and my husband was able to learn to wakeboard for the first time with Luke, who is an excellent coach and amazing driver. I hadnt wake boarded in 12 years and I got right back up and had the best time. We will absolutely be back for more fun next year.

Great experience learning with these guys. I was starting from scratch but hoping to progress as quickly as possible. They were great to work with my goals and safely get me as far along as they could in the time we had. I will definitely be back with them to put the finishing touches on. Highly recommend.

I have never done Wakeboarding before and was honestly bugging out before getting in the water. But Next Level was so patient, encouraging, and fun for us newbies! Highly recommend trying it out!

Fantastic experience overall! Jon has excellent training skills/techniques & equipment for which to quickly learn and enjoy a very thrilling sport. The location is perfect for both the beginner and expert, due to the protected waters, the consistent wind conditions, and the fact that its out of the way from other boats, beaches, & people, thereby maximizing the ability to learn, practice, and have fun.

Next Level is a totally first class operation. The instructors do a great job of simplifying the sport and giving pointers that make sense. The instruction is hands on enough to progress rapidly, but hands off enough to keep things fun and not bog you down. I would highly recommend NL to anyone looking to learn or progress in the sport.

We had a 100% positive experience with Next Level Watersports with our family group of 6 people learning to Kiteboard. What can I say besides we look forward to giving it another go as soon as possible? Our instructors Nick and Emma were knowledgeable and professional, encouraging and patient, had super energy and lots of humour.

I WISH THERE WAS A 10 STAR OPTION!Wanted to get some info of where to kite and what the best winds are for Nantucket. One of the surf shops told me to get in touch with these guys and I am so happy I got in touch with them. I had a kiteboarding school back in South Africa and the help and professionalism this guys have is really something for the books! I would highly recommend them for anyone who is keen to learn and join the wonderful world of kiteboarding.Thanks Jon for all your help!!

Jon is a great coach. Progressed further than I thought I could in a 2.5 hour lesson. You will have their full attention and skill to help you get to the next level.

Jakes enthusiasm and coaching technique enabled me to progress from agile kite handling - to water starts - to transitions in just a few lessons. As someone learning the sport it was comforting to know he was always close by to give helpful (and timely) tips. Its hard to describe the feeling of cruising across Nantucket Harbor on a kiteboard (awesome!). I look forward to my next session. Highly recommend NL.

I had the most incredible time out on the water with Next Level Watersports. Jake made me feel so comfortable taking very first kiteboarding lesson. And now Im totally hooked. I went from being really intimidated when we first launched the kite to laughing my face off while flying across Pocomo in a little over three hours.Cant wait to do it again soon.

All in all, Next Level and all its crew is amazing. They not only get you out on the water with the knowledge necessary to be confident in what you are doing, but they also make it a fun experience that you will never forget. Kitebaoring opened my eyes to so many awesome things that can be done in the water, and wakeboarding was a great way to get a quick taste of one of those awesome possibilities. My friends and I were not sure how our Nantucket trip was going to turn out before we came, but upon our departure we left knowing that we truly had one of the best vacations of our lives. Thank you Jon, Jake, and Benj for taking our vacation to the Next Level!

The knowledge and patience required to teach kiteboarding is inexplicable, and the boys at Next Level have it! I fell in love with the sport on day 1. Will definitely visit again to refine the skills!

Next Level Watersports is exactly what Nantucket has been waiting for: a team of talented, experienced instructor/coaches who can get people kiting safely and responsibly.

If you want to learn how to Kiteboard, Hydrofoil or wakeboard, Next Level Watersports is the place to do it. They are amazing! I was a little nervous when I took my first lesson, being attached to a Kite is no joke and can be dangerous. But Jon was right there making sure whenever I got out of control to step in and take over and I always felt safe. They are all about safety and showed me over and over what to do in an emergency situation.Jon was extremely patient, encouraging and super fun!Jake took my 8 Year old son out for a tandem Hydrofoil, my son had a blast and I was able to trust Jake 100% to keep him safe. They are amazing with kids and again safety comes first, which as a mom, is the most important to me. My husband has been kiteboarding for 5 Years but never tried to Hydrofoil. Jake took him out and got him going in no time. I was extremely impressed with their operation and the fact that they know absolutely everything about those sports, have top notch equipment and are always in a good mood and ready to go, didnt suck either!
