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.
The standard course outline will be as follows and emphasizes hands on practice:
Day 1 : Rigging up a 4 line kite and equipment safety systems, understanding the wind and weather, site assessment and safety, flying a 4-line kite on short lines, launching, landing, water re-launching, emergency quick release, self landing, equipment types and safety systems.
Day 2 : Independently rigging up long lines, flying in the chicken loop, flying confidently at the edge of the wind window, rescue techniques, body dragging techniques, self launching techniques, basic water techniques
Day 3 : Water start techniques, board riding techniques, water re-launch in deep water
Note: 1 day is roughly 4+ hours, min 2 students / max 4 students per instructor
