We support and encourage professional kiteboarding schools that teach the fundamentals of kiteboarding safety. Professional training is essential not only to the student but to the wider kiting community. Each new kiter must not only protect themselves but also learn how to become a safe rider and responsible member of the kite community. This allows us to protect the image of the sport, to better ensure our acceptance and inclusion in public venues.
