"Monty is an exceptional kiting instructor who I give credit for getting me up and riding in no time...His teaching style was professional and his lessons were effective and fun. He has the keen ability to convey the technical aspects of kiting that allowed me to quickly master the skills for kiting safely and proficiently. He was able to track my progression, to identify my challenges and to provide expert guidance that got me up and riding in a few sessions."

"I had a blast learning to snowkite with Monty at Snowkite Soldier. Having never flown a power kite before, Monty started me with a trainer kite. After learning about wind theory and how to fly the small kite, we moved on to the larger kites. Monty taught me all about the various safety features and how to set up, launch, and land the kite. We then put our boards on and in no time I was snowkiting across a huge open field full of powder snow! Overall, the lesson was very comprehensive regarding snowkiting as well as flying power kites in general. Monty is a kind and encouraging teacher who truly enjoys introducing new people to his sport."

"I reunited with Monty at the Ski tour in Sun Valley, Idaho two years ago. His mom was wearing a “Snowkite Soldier” hat and I asked her what it was all about. I was totally obsessed after buying a 3.5M trainer kite earlier in the year. She told me to just talk to her son who was standing right next to her. That meeting got me fired up and a few weeks later I was the proud owner of a 12M Ozone foil kite. Over the past two years and some various travels, Monty has been my go to guy. During the same time, he has built a reputation among Idaho kiters as a solid voice for the Snowkiting world. A stand up guy who is always willing to answer questions, help out folks in need and instill a feeling of stoke among the gawkers. (Might have been throwing kite loops 30 feet up).
Monty is rock-solid. He got me into this sport and taught me the ropes. Now the limits are endless. I am grateful to have been pulled up by such a stud. He’ll continue to be “The Man”."

"Andrew Montgomery Goldman taught me and I was taken aback at how adapted to teaching he is. A kind and encouraging personality, Monty can convey instructions and they can be easily related to. This guy is a born and talented teacher. Andrew (Monty) Goldman is certainly a very valuable asset to anyone looking to put a smile on your company."
