Introducing a 4th Edition of the IKO Kiteboarder’s Workbook, now the IKO Kiteboarder’s Handbook!

IKO Headquarters is proud to unveil the newest in its anthology of kiteboarding workbooks; the IKO Kiteboarder’s Handbook.

The Handbook has been totally redeveloped and expanded into 80 pages of interactive exercises and diagrams for all levels of instruction, contained inside a sleek new design.

Quizzes accompany each section to test student’s comprehension and ensure they have properly mastered all elements before proceeding on to the next level. A final section delves into wind speeds, kite and board terminology, lines, bars and knots and a dictionary of terms to better understand it all. All these elements make it a great reference for kiter’s for years to come.

The Kiteboarder Handbook follows the updated IKO student standards and this literature is an intricate part of IKO Instructors lessons, helping students navigate from novice through to independent riders worldwide!
