Our Group Lessons are based on the IKO lesson plan to teach you all the basics from total beginners up to practicing in the water. IKO level 2 is a good continuation for your training, learning, and progress in the kite surf sport.
One IKO instructor holds our Group Lessons with 2 students on one Kite. The International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO) splits the way to learn how to practice Kiteboarding in 4 levels.
Level 1 Discovery, Level 2 Intermediate, Level 3 Independent and Level 4 Advanced.
