"Legitimate?"
Any Surf, Wake, Horseriding, Skydiving, Snorkelling, Windsurfing, Abseiling etc School/Instructor is legitimate. none are illegal unless under government legislation, maybe you should make a better choice of words.
Hi Baldrick,
This definition of Legitimate is what I am refering to :
Legitimate - : accordant with law or with established legal forms and requirements.
A legitimate school is one who has ALL legal permissions and licenses from ALL of the local government departments which may be involved when trading in a public place.
Most of the activities you have listed would be legitimate as they have been around a long time and are higher profile, kitesurfing is still a young sport where there are many people/schools around the country trading without permits, thereby making them illegitimate and dangerous to work for should there be an incident. This, in time will come under control as it did in the hang gliding industry where self regulation cleaned the industry up.
I hope this clears any misunderstanding.
Good winds,
