Day 2 - Water Starter
The Day 2 course is designed to teach students to an IKO Level of 1-2
and follows the International Kiteboarding Organisation syllabus.
 For potential kite surfers that are looking to take the sport up
seriously (owning equipment) then this is the recommend level as the
absolute minimum training. Students have now had time to reflect on what
was covered on the day 1 of the course and should be ready to move on.
Having mastered the basics of kite flying and having been introduced to
basic water starts, you will now work on further board skills. The
second day builds on the first, in most cases introducing the 4 line,
de-powerable kites. Your kite flying skills will step up a level, flying
a more efficient de-power able kite will make your initial steps towards
riding that little bit easier.
If a student is not ready to move on to this level arrangements can be
made to cover any weak areas before moving on to the day 2.

* 9.30 start at the beach
