How do I get ready for the Coach Level 2 Course?
Review the latest Assistant and Instructor Manuals and study each trick in the discipline you are certified as Coach Level 1 - Freeride, Freestyle, Wave Riding, Hydrofoil and Wing Foil. The tricks are listed in the Appendices of the Coach Level 1 Manual. Revisit your first aid and CPR course material. Study the Coach Level 2 Manual (which you will receive after enrolling in the course). Practice filming riders with your smartphone or your camera so that you can give students feedback. Ride as much as you can to improve your riding skills. A great Coach is a great rider.
What equipment do I need to be a Coach Level 2?
You need a smartphone (with a video stabilization app) or a waterproof video camera with 8x to 20x zoom (Go Pros aren’t permitted), a monopod or tripod, a helmet, an impact vest, a kite and a board. You’ll use this equipment during your coach course and to coach students.
What’s the online riding skills demonstration?
This is the first step in the course. Once you’ve submitted your payment and enrolled in the course, you must send us videos of yourself doing all of the tricks mentioned in the Evolution Course discipline/s you want to teach. Our training department will then contact you to confirm you have the riding level to become a coach.
What are the steps to complete the course and get certified?
You must complete two steps to get your Coach Level 1 certificate. Step one is a riding skills demonstration and step two is an exam. Both are completed online.

What’s the difference between an Evolution Course and an Evolution Clinic?
Both Evolution Courses and Clinics train riders in the Evolution disciplines - wing foil, hydrofoil, freestyle, freeride and wave riding.
Evolution Courses usually take place over several hours and are taught by Level 1 Coaches (only one student at a time) or Level 2 Coaches (more than one student at a time).
Evolution Clinics take place over five days at an IKO Center and can only be run by Level 2 Coaches.
