Beginners Course
Come learn at our IKO CERTIFIED CENTER
Using the latest IKO teaching methods, we place a major emphasis on learning to safely rig / land / launch / fly a 4-Line inflatable kite. We want flying an inflatable kite to become second nature to you. Learn to fly these kites confidently and safely and the board riding will be easier than you would ever expect. In all our lessons we have kept to theory to a minimum and placed more emphasis on getting out on the beach / in the water and DOING it. By the end of the 3 days you should have completed IKO kiteboarder Level 1 and Level 2 and be a independent kiteboarder.
