Yes, Matt is right on the money. I am not sure about the coolness of the card, but a bonus. I understand the the IKO instructor training is alot better than PASA, however, IKO does not offer the liability insurance. At least not yet.....after talking with Chris at Miami Kiteboarding, IKO is on track to offer some type of liablity insurance in 07.
It will be sometime before I am able to certify riders..... 30 students could take a year to get through or more.
In the meantime, we should all do our part to help out new folks to the sport. I see some great things out there with everyone trying to keep things safe.
Matt, I saw one of your club riders the other day....he is looking good. You have done a great job with him. Last time I saw him, he was really struggling, but looked very confident on the water. Nice job!!!!
