you can't go wrong with Alan Studley, he would be on the top of the list.

Mike:

I would also HIGHLY recommend Alan Studley. You could not get a better instructor! He lives in Napa, but I'm sure would be happy to head south to train you. After all, he flew all the way to Florida to do my training.

Rusty B is supposed to be taking his training by a combination of alan s. and Charlie J. Why not find out when he is supposed to do it and get your training in there as well..

Alan Studley is a great instructor and a very nice person, I would highly recommend him. He is also a factory Rep for Jetsam and knows the KISS units very well.

Thanks guys, I know Rusty very well (I work with him) but I know he isnt an instructor just yet. Peter is our SDS rep and is the one who got me my Evolution...and the great Charlie J was my Insp instructor. He sent me out the new ANDI Kiss manual about a month ago and Ive been reading it, but he doesnt teach this unit.

I just wanted to know what my options were and who was teaching on these units down here.

Mike,

I know several good KISS instructors but without a doubt Alan Studley has more experience on the unit than most and is an excellent instructor and all around good person. I know I am beating a dead & bloated glue factory here but I would reccomend him highly, let me know if you need personal contact info.

Round abouts, what does KISS training cost for an intro course? Additionally do you supply your own equipment or can one take the class using a "loaner"?

Thanks,

Rob
