Hey Leo,

I find it very unfortunate that you had an unpleasant experience during my course. However, I am confused about your post. You are saying that you cannot be an IKO instructor because you missed a day of the course as well as stated that other people do not have the ability to teach because their riding skills are not fully developed.

1. You did not fail the course. On the day of your riding test, you were spotted on the beach talking back at me in your usual unrespectful manner when I gave you feedback by the person who paid your course fee. As a direct consequence, that person informed me that he no longer wanted to sponsor your course because he can not imagine working together with you. When I told you that you will have to pay the remaining fee yourself, You decided not to complete the course. Also, I have not asked you to pay back the expenses for printing the manual etc. which I personally covered.

2. Your score in the riding test was the lowest in the whole team. A backroll is not a required "trick" to pass the riding test for the AITC. However, a complete self-rescue is. In the beginning, I said that each of you will have to show me a self-rescue under current weather conditions. On that day we had cross-onshore winds. You were supposed to go out far enough and use the kite as a sail to come back to the beach. You did your self-rescue standing in hip-deep water and missed the final step. As you did not want to wait for the wind to pick up you left early for Kurnell. Everyone besides you completed the riding test on that day.

3. Your statement about what I said about self-rescuing in the waves is not correct. If you can not remember what I said you can read the section in the manual about self-rescue.

As far as I know, every participant is able to do a back roll. I hope the someday you will understand that teaching is not about your personal riding skill but more a people skill.
