Great news for IKO instructors and those who aspire to teach kitesurfing in the UK and around the world!
Currently, APKite in Portugal and FFVL in France are the two first national organizations affiliated to the IFKO. For countries not affiliated to the IFKO yet, IKO members are encouraged to approach the most appropriate national organization. Affiliating a national organization creates a win-win situation for all actors of Kitesports. The members of the national organization are recognized nationally as well as internationally thanks to the IFKO.
Indeed, the national organization affiliated to the IFKO becomes the national authority for Kitesports working and applying the IKO standards. The national organization receives direct support from both the IKO and the IFKO while serving the local Kite community.
