Thats being held in Gold coast QLD correct?
Wish I could but to far away on such short notice.

I have to agree with galah, the standards are way too low you get complete newbies getting certified and trying to teach people.I think its a joke and nothing but a money making scheme.I would fell pretty pissed off if i learnt for a complete gumby and found out that i can kite better than him after just a few hours.

yes

"yes"

I am interested in your experience and why you think this way?My experience was that it really contributed to my knowledge and has helped my teaching method .Our teacher was Daz Marshall.

never heard of having previous teaching experiance before and 6 months exp what is that really, how do you know how long somebody has been kiting for. They could have been only kiting for days and still say 6 months how do you know? when i did mine there were four guys who could not even relaunch their kites properly let alone stay up wind yet they all passed. I'am not saying the head instructors like darren aren't compenant but more so the students they teach.

I forgot to mention that 2 students failed our course .One shadowed me for a while ,passed a few months later and went on to be an excellennt instructor in Wales .
I am interested in this issue tho of people passing who IYO should not have.Again who was the course teacher ?

Hey Not on board,

I've seen you trying to ride that big old directional of yours.
You still can't even gybe yet so I guess Galah's right.

Common mate when you gonna try to ride a twin tip for the first time

Not On Board

I've still got hay in my hair from when you last frequented my dad's farm![}:)]

now to be serious, Sat and Sunday's looking tops and I will try my darndest to get out for at least 2 hours how's bout you pick me up for a ridin session farm boy

Oh you forgot 3 boards, and Windwing Rapture 15, Ocean Rodeo Bronco 12,North Rhino1 12m, Gaastra GXR12 and it was a Yarga 11.

The IKO and Darren Marshall are a good thing ! I filled the last place, Good teacher, The IKO is much more than learning to kite!

P.S most the guys there had been kiting four years or more, thats my 2 pence worth

i thought it was 2P, for the last decade or two!
