Following the success of our 2 courses last month where 16 new instructors were produced, we are planning for another one in Brisbane late January or February too.

Really? That's great to hear. That's where our school is based too funny enough! We have 5 instructors at our school so if you need a hand just let us know! The more the merrier!

Sorry PADI I could not find any instructor called PADI on the IKO website. Is PADI your nick name OR what is your full name. Maybe you might be interested in joining our team, I will be hiring a level two IKO instructor who will be the head instructor over looking lessons in three different areas in Brisbane, maybe this is something you might be interested in. Anyway guess ill be seeing a lot off you when the boys are doing lessons at sandgate. Its good your running IKO courses, I need more instructors’, keep up the good work, your a legend. And thanks HEATH and ANDY for your interests in wanting to join our TEAM. REGARDS MARK TEE.

I couldnt find your name either Teebone at any part of the IKO site lol. Teebone must be your nickname too hey. In fact two days ago you advertised on this thread for level 2 instructors so you can open up an iko school at sandgate, then today you posted on another thread saying you already have an iko school in brisbane n got 3 level 2 instructors working for you - www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33337. So do you already have an IKO school up and running or still trying to recruit instructors to open up a school for you? Just had an email from IKO head office and they never heard of someone called Mark Tee. Is Mark Tee your real name?

As far as I am aware, Surf Connect is still the only IKO school in Brisbane - http://www.ikointl.com/kiteboarding_center.php?menu_id=2. But we would support any other IKO schools coming to formation and creating a stronger IKO network. We pay our instructors $40-$75 an hour and they put in exceptional efforts. Good luck with your school starting up and Merry Christmas to all!

Hey PADI, you are right I'm not an IKO instructor, but if you really have to know I did an WSN course in MAUI in 2000, Wipika school network it was called in those days, I personally taught kitesurfing in many countries in the early days and have been lucky enough to experience many different teaching systems from around the world, it doesn’t really matter what system IKO, PASA, BKSA just to name a few, as long as its none safely. As one off the directors off a company that owns an IKO center, we are fully aware off all relevant government approvals needed by the IKO, once everything is finalised you can find us on the IKO website. The interesting thing for me is the department who issues the commercial permits has no records off surf connect operating in the sandgate area. But I'm sure you have this all under control. As it sounds like you have years off experience? Marry Christmas MARK TEE
