<p>To preserve teaching excellence with safety and fun for the students, I decided to become a professional kitesurf instructor certified by IKO, because it is a serious institution and with excellent protocols. As an IKO Instructor, I can pass on knowledge to future kitesurfers, foilers and wingsurfers.</p>
