FAQs
Is this a beginner lesson?
This is an advanced 2 hour lesson for those that already know how to kite and want to improve specific skills or work on their progression. We offer private and semi-private beginner lessons that you should choose if you're a beginner.
Can children take advanced kiteboarding lessons?
This will very much depend on the attention span of the child. We have had a wide range of ages and kids take lessons with us, and it’s a very fun and interesting process. Kiteboarding is fun but needs to be taken seriously. Within two hours of lessons, we will be able to determine whether or not your child is fit for kiteboarding. We have equipment specifically for kids, making it safer and more fun. We also recommend a fun go on our Tandem kiteboarding adventure to get them into the feel and thrill of the sport!
What is IKO and why is it important?
IKO is the International Kiteboarding Organization. It’s a worldwide International certification for kiteboarders and kite instructors. All of our instructors go through a training course to become IKO instructors. After years of practice once reaching the appropriate level and confidence on a personal riding level they go into a training program called AITC Assistant instructor training course. It’s a 5-day course to become an IKO assistant instructor. If and once passed, they go into another week program called the ITC (Instructor training course) to become a Level 1 IKO instructor. We follow the IKO teaching standards and steps to make sure all our students get the best chances at becoming 100% independent riders. Its been developed over years and years to make it the fastest way to learn without sacrificing any safety or steps. All our students will leave with an IKO certification card and online registration to the level they reached with us.
