Kiteboarding Instruction, the good, the bad, the ugly; where to go from here.

[bayflite]

What should the answers be and how do you propose that we present this to IKO and PASA and compel them to enforce it?

I agree 100% that reform in kiting instruction is needed. Course content is a big concern for me as well.



rick,
honestly a better cert org is the only way.
the fact that they both leave out such important requirements (swimming proficiency / chase vehicle) should not be excused.
the fact that a huge majority of kiteboarding schools (few exceptions i.e. real/kite house) drink that nasty cool aid truly bothers me.
so i feel no urge to lobby these orgs.
locally run non profit cert org's would be the best way. imo
peace
