Kite Surfing is one of the newest and most exciting water sports in
the world and can bring many years of exhilaration and fun to anyone
willing to learn.
However, like any "extreme sport" there are some risks involved
while learning and practising Kite Surfing. That’s why Jon Dodds our
in-house IKO Examiner and Training Master has personally devised
The Kite Club Steps.
The Kite Club Steps ensure students have the Essential Knowledge
and the Essential Skills needed to practice Kite Surfing safely
during their lessons and after they leave the School. These steps also
cover all the IKO Standards letting your IKO Instructor certify you
with the IKO Kite Boarders Card.
Every Kite Surfer’s first priority should be their personal safety and
the safety of the people around them. Therefore, please listen carefully
to all that your Instructor says, and give proper consideration to all
the Essential Skills and Knowledge you'll need to become a ripping Kite
Surfer!
Please note: The amount of time spent on each level depends
upon your own abilities and are estimations only. More or less time
may be spent according to your Instructors advice.
Prices are per person and include all Kiteboarding Equipment, Instructors
and Assistants. Price also includes Equipment, Personal Injury and Third
