'Over winter Australian Kiteboarding School was undergoing a serious upgrade to our business and equipment and in line with our mission to stand out above our competitors and be the best and most technologically advanced kitesurfing school in the country, we had to get the best gear available.
We were previously using a makeshift radio system which was working but not well and began to get quite costly in downtime and repairs. We decided to replace it with the
Headzone coaching system after speaking to Headzone and
ordered 10 helmets and three radios for our instructors.
Since our season opened we have been using the radios for our lessons and after already having done almost 2months of lessons everyday in the harshest of environments; sand, salt
water and strong wind, we have nothing but the highest praise for the Headzone system. Our customers feel secure wearing the helmet because they hear our instruction loudly, clearly and as they need it, the helmets are light and snug fitting so aren't too uncomfortable when used in the water and the headsets on the transmitting radios are light and easy to use allowing us freedom of both hands to work.
The benefits of the system to us is we look and are more professional, all our customers are very impressed with the system so we get more referral work, the students progress more quickly and feel more secure which means we get more students done with less lessons which helps to keep our waiting list shorter. Word of mouth around the area is that we have the best teaching system and locals and students alike are recommending us to friends,co-workers and relatives.We cannot speak highly enough of the system and cannot overstate the benefits we are getting from the initial outlay. We have already ordered 5 additional helmets for our advanced teaching programs and know that they will be a huge success also.
As an International Kiteboarding Organisation (IKO) Examiner (Instructor trainer) I have been so impressed with the system I have been recommending and demoing to other instructors and schools in other parts of the country and overseas to implement the Headzone system and after a few demos other schools are also now buying into the system to replicate the same results we are getting.
Thanks headzone!
