Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited the NY Kite Center for the first time this month. I'm a beginner, and when I first called to just ask questions, I spoke with Marietta and she was so friendly and informative!
The bay where lessons are taught is awesome. It's shallow water so you have a safety net if you need it, and I felt really comfortable -- which is important for a beginner. I signed up for "board time" and got a lot more than I was expecting. Both times I was out on the water, the instructors (I've been out on the water with Mitchell and Steve) were right there to give me helpful tips. If you're a beginner, I would definitely check out NY Kite Center. It's only 50 minutes by train from Penn Station.
If you're thinking about buying equipment, Johnny has great prices. I compared them to my favorite shop in Hood River, OR, and Johnny's prices were right on par.
