Coaching Philosofy
Kitesurf coaching is about building a strong foundation and then pushing your skills further. My approach focuses on breaking down each trick into simple, manageable steps. We’ll work on the basics first, like mastering your kite control and body position. Once the foundations are solid, we start putting everything together—step by step—until you’re landing the full trick with confidence.
Kitesurf coaching starts with building a strong foundation. Each trick is broken down into simple steps, focusing on basics like kite control and body position. Once solid, we piece everything together for confident landings. Every session provides real-time feedback and clear guidance, turning challenges into smooth rides and progressing your skills, step by step.
Every session is designed to make sure you understand each part of the process before moving on. With real-time feedback and clear guidance, you’ll see your progress come to life, turning challenging moves into smooth, controlled rides. Together, we’ll take your skills to the next level, one step at a time.

Cohan has always been a HUGE inspiration to the next generation in Egypt and it was such an honour for them to have his bright energy and expertise as a coach both on and off the water . Hamzawy the Egyptian champ landed his now ultimate move the dangle pass thanks to Cohan.

The coaching session with Cohan was really amazing and funny! I was afraid to do loops in Cape Town and the lesson with him gave me confidence. After each jump he pointed out the mistakes and we corrected everything immediately. I felt like Cohan was cheering for my first steps more than someone else before.

I was always afraid to learn new tricks. But thanks to Cohan’s coaching, I overcame my fear and improved my technique, allowing me to confidently crush every session.
Roelof van Heeren
Student
For me kitesurfing always was more surviving, than actually being in control. Simply because I didn't really understand what exactly was happening. During my sessions with Cohan he really broke down every trick in a way that made it easy to understand, and actually improve my technique.

Cohan was an incredible coach at our kiteboarding camp in Cape Town. His professionalism on the water was matched only by his positive energy off it, creating an amazing experience for everyone. Highly recommend him!

Already at the first lesson I did a kiteloop at a 8m height, I am super happy about this!

For me kitesurfing always was more surviving and managing, rather than actually being in control and knowing what's going on. Simply because I didn't really understand what exactly was happening.
