Tried to do a IKO Instructor Kitesurf course with Felix Fleischer but I couldn't do it because I Missed one day o theories where they teach what is up and down wind
So I can't be a IKO instructor but there is people in that group that can not even do a back roll and have not enough skills to become a instructor that is why so many accidents
Ride toe side and do a jump is not enough skills to be a instructor IKO what a. Joke





Hey Leo,

I find it very unfortunate that you had an unpleasant experience during my course. However, I am confused about your post. You are saying that you cannot be an IKO instructor because you missed a day of the course as well as stated that other people do not have the ability to teach because their riding skills are not fully developed.

1. You did not fail the course. On the day of your riding test, you were spotted on the beach talking back at me in your usual unrespectful manner when I gave you feedback by the person who paid your course fee. As a direct consequence, that person informed me that he no longer wanted to sponsor your course because he can not imagine working together with you. When I told you that you will have to pay the remaining fee yourself, You decided not to complete the course. Also, I have not asked you to pay back the expenses for printing the manual etc. which I personally covered.

2. Your score in the riding test was the lowest in the whole team. A backroll is not a required "trick" to pass the riding test for the AITC. However, a complete self-rescue is. In the beginning, I said that each of you will have to show me a self-rescue under current weather conditions. On that day we had cross-onshore winds. You were supposed to go out far enough and use the kite as a sail to come back to the beach. You did your self-rescue standing in hip-deep water and missed the final step. As you did not want to wait for the wind to pick up you left early for Kurnell. Everyone besides you completed the riding test on that day.

3. Your statement about what I said about self-rescuing in the waves is not correct. If you can not remember what I said you can read the section in the manual about self-rescue.

As far as I know, every participant is able to do a back roll. I hope the someday you will understand that teaching is not about your personal riding skill but more a people skill.


Just ask my students
Actually I get lots off people that had have lessons with you guys before spending a fortune and didn't learn anything

No you need to be skilled and experience to teach some one
Sorry but if you don't know how to do a back roll the most basic move
That just shows that you dont have enough kite control and skills to teach I'm a capable and skilled rider and instructor been doing that probably longer than you
But is not your interest to have another kite school in your area that is what is all about

Just ask my students

$75 an hour geeee i wonder how you afford to pay off the 4k$ 20 million public liability insurance and council site fees....

you gotta do 13 full days of lessons before you even start to make a cent of profit out of a season that has how many teachable days in it?

but your uninsured and teaching illegally so you don't care about that. just like you don't care about the general public.

and if you want to pull **** out of context by saying some instructors cant do a backroll. try get it at least half right.

they would have stated it doesn't MATTER if an instructor cant do a backroll as there is far more important things that are required of an instructor.

you'd think with such a big head so much wouldn't go over it but here we are.
