Hi Guys,
First post and all. Ive just moved to Kirra and im looking to get into Kitesurfing. Ive done a bit of surfing and what not before.
Im just wondering if anyway has recommendations for anyone who does lessons around this area. Even if there a local kiteboarders who want to make a little on the side. Any help appreciated.
Cheers.

They are both IKO Accredited.
Hey surfconnect
Are you sure that they are IKO i just had a look and they weren't on the Accredited schools list. Maybe they are i just looked in the wrong spot? Not that it really matters I've done all that iko stuff and was a Accredited school for a bit i'm not now seems like a waste of money really as my school is still fully insured and and the lesson structure is a lot better now i don't have to stick to the bull **** that iko goes on with. i'm still an IKO certified instructor but just think there are better ways to teach with out all the IKO costs

Sorry using angies name
Yes mate, Steve did his IEC at our school last year and his rego is current as listed on the IKO website -
1955 - Simmons, Stephen
Level: Level 2 (Water)
Certified since: 24 Nov 2007
I spoke to Rob (Kamikaze's boss) only a few days ago and they have another level 2 instructor working at the shop too.
As far as our school is concerned, IKO is a must as it is the governing body of schools and instructors for many countries around the world, and AKSA recognises IKO here in Australia. Its accreditation sets the standards of teaching and ensures the sport is taught in a safe and professional manner. It also recognises the learning by awarding the students with IKO cards which gives them access to rental at any IKO Centres around the world, insurance cover, and many other benefits.
Thought you meant IKO Accredited schools. Anyone can be IKO Accredited them selves just pay $800
