Improve your riding skills: first jumps and rotations Join IKO instructor Gaël Brunhes in the Dominican Republic for the first advanced riders’ clinics to improve your riding skills and learn new tricks and rotations during the 5 day advanced clinic! Gael, who has been managing Kite Park in Cabarete for 4 years, is an experienced IKO instructor level 2 with a very high level of riding skills. He will be running the first clinics at Kite Club in Cabarete.
The course includes video footage: after the day’s session, you can check out your performance and get valuable tips on how to improve your riding. The program also includes a downwind, which gives you the opportunity to ride on different spots, and brings you a unique opportunity to see the Domincan coast like you’ve never seen it before.
The wind usually picks up early afternoon in Cabarete. Therefore, the mornings will be dedicated to theory, equipment (setting, technique, new trends), introduction to stretching, and safety group discussions. The afternoons will be dedicated to riding. And in the evenings, you will enjoy Cabarete’s night life. You have 2 chances to participate: 15-20 June and 27 June – 1st of July (before and after the PKRA stop in Cabarete).
To attend the course, you need to be an IKO level 3 Kiteboarder (check your level on your Kiteboarder Card) meaning you are an independent rider (see the complete standards on www.ikorg.com) or have equivalent level of practice. Price for the 5 day course: 599 US.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHT, gast. Gewoon GAAN met die banaan, niet te voorzichtig de eerste keren want dan eindig je gegarandeerd op je rug in de vaarrichting. Als je t eenmaal te pakken hebt is het moeilijker om ""maar"" 1 rotatie te maken.... Ik spring nog steeds enkel ""nine-hundreds"" (hoewel dat wel weer cool klinkt)
