Pre-requisites: Certified to IKO level 1E. If you do not have an IKO kiteboarder card we can arrange an assessment and certify you to your level.

The IKO Level 2 course covers more body dragging and flying skills, and finishes with board starts.  After this course you are in a position to practise all the skills learnt, and to start achieving runs on the board. 

IKO Level 2 can take 1 or 2 days to cover, it is quite personal to the students.  We always teach at the pace of the students, so if booked in for two days students will still progress even if up and riding on the first day of the course. 

Synergy Kitesports run IKO Level 2 courses at weekends and during the week, subject to demand.
