You must be a competent kiteboarder (IKO level 3), 2/. at least 16 years of age, and 3/. Have a valid first aid certificate.

The examiner requires you to wear helmet and vest while kiting or teaching. If you do not have a helmet/vest, you can hire from us for the week ($10 per piece). When you conduct live teaching during the course, equipment for your students will be provided by us.Practical assessment is on-going throughout the course and there is a presentation each one of you will need to make.
