Kiteboarding is a great sport that can be enjoyed in many locations around the world, in many ways and almost by everyone who has a spirit of adventure and the love for water & wind. By simply choosing the adapted equipment, you can kite board on flat water, in waves or even on land, with light or stronger wind, granted you have the essential skill level and knowledge.
The three following programs are BBKB guidelines to get you from a beginner with no experience up to an independent kite boarder. These guidelines are adopted from the approved IKO system and tailor made for our local conditions, so each student can progress by his/hers individual skill level.
