Kitesurfing
Courses
From your very first kite to riding completely independently — structured IKO progression on Koh Phangan
How We
Teach
We follow the IKO progressive teaching method — a structured system proven to get students riding safely and confidently. We never rush. Each step is mastered before the next begins.
All Beginner and Independent courses use Bluetooth radio communication helmets. Your instructor communicates with you in real-time while you are on the water — correcting technique, building confidence, keeping you safe.
Courses are available in English, Russian, Arabic, German and Ukrainian. Small groups — maximum 2 students per instructor — ensure you get real attention and faster progress.

Absolutely. Your IKO progression level is recorded and you can continue from where you left off at any IKO school worldwide. Many students do their Discovery Course on one trip and continue with the Beginner Course on their next visit.
Private courses: 1 student per instructor. Group courses: maximum 2 students per instructor. We never exceed this ratio — it ensures safety and accelerates your learning significantly.
Minimum age 14 for kitesurfing. Younger students can try the Discovery Course on a case-by-case basis depending on size and maturity. Please contact us to discuss.
We monitor forecasts daily. If conditions are unsuitable we contact you the evening before to reschedule at no charge. We never teach in unsafe conditions. Your safety is always the priority.
Private (1:1) is faster — you get 100% of the instructor's attention and progress noticeably quicker. Group (2:1) is more affordable and works well if you are learning with a friend. Both include the same curriculum, equipment and IKO certification.
