Who we rent to
IKO Level 3 and above. In practice that means:
- You ride upwind confidently
- You control speed by edging
- You launch and land the kite yourself
- You can self-rescue and pack down in deep water
No IKO card — one hour of assessment with an instructor, after which we hand over the gear and issue the certificate.
A few more things
- Rental time runs from the moment you collect the gear until you bring it back. A rental ends with a check-over: we go through the kite, bar, board and harness together.
- Kite and board sizes can be swapped during the day at no extra cost when the wind changes.
- On our Crimea spots a windless week is recalculated: you pay the daily rate minus 20 % for the windy days only, not for the whole booked period.
- We may end a rental early in case of careless handling, dangerous riding or unreasonable behaviour on the water.
- Damaged something — tell us straight away. Damage discovered at check-in and not reported is settled under the no-cover tier, whichever tier you chose.
