IKO Two Day Course
Our IKO 2 day course is the fast route to becoming a kitesurfer! We have designed this course to take you from absoloute beginner to an independent and safe kitesurfer.
You will learn all of the skills and theory of the IKO 1 day course as well as the following:
-
understanding & using the quick release and leash saftery systems
-
use of the correct hand signals in kitesurfing
-
self land & recovery of the bar and kite
-
entry and exit of the water independently and safely while controlling the kite
-
water relaunching practice
-
upwind body drag to recover the board in both directions
-
self rescue and full pack down procedures in the water
-
learn the power stroke for water start
-
know the safety rules and theory for water start
-
put the board on feet and maintain correct position for the water start
LOTS of water start practice runs and kitesurfing!!! There are a lot of things to cover throughout the 2 day course and all of it is designed to make you an independent and safe kitesurfer! Many people go onto practice outwith the school after the 2 day course with the skills we have taught them. The idea being, you may have not got up on the board when you were practicing with us (very few people get up on the first days) but you will at least have all of the knowledge & safety skills to go and achieve the consistency needed. From this course, many people can gain consistency riding the board in both directions within 2 or 3 days!
