IKO/BKSA Kite Surf Instructor Training Courses
The kite surf instructor’s role is pivotal in the development of the largest growth area in power kite sports. They will need to not only provide a structured route to understanding and learning the sport, but also act as ambassadors to the public at large and authorities in general as kite surfing develops and expands.
The instructor’s key role will always be to introduce kite surfing to students at the basic level, enabling them to come to grips with this potentially hazardous sport in a structured and safe manner. The instructor is undertaking the role of helping to develop the kite surfers skill from the basic beginner level through to more advanced skills that will not only help the student become a safe competent rider, but also to potentially move on into the competition arena.
Instructors will teach under the international IKO programme, which operates a proven standard that is international recognised.
