Our Kiteboarding lessons are broken down in 3 steps and follow the IKO standard.
At each stage of your progress, your level will be certified thanks to the IKO Kiteboarder Card. Not only does this card allow you to continue your training in any other affiliated center, it also gives you discounts in selected stores around the world.

All the equipment is provided except the wet suit. But don't worry, you won't need it before the step two of the training. So for the first lesson, just bring your sunscreen, hat and sunnies!

What about insurance? Insurance is not mandatory but it's a strong advise to take one! Kiteboarding Victoria offers a public liability insurance which covers you whenever you are kiteboarding Australia wide. You'll find more information on KBV website.
