IKO Kitesurfing Courses in Nabq Bay

At The Kite Bubble, every lesson follows the International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO) system, a step-by-step pathway built around safety, technique and confidence. You learn on the warm, flat, shallow water of Nabq Bay with IKO certified instructors. In addition, all equipment is included. Wondering what your certificate is good for? Read our guide to IKO kitesurfing certification.

From your first kite to riding on your own

  • Discovery – IKO Level 1 (2–3 hours): learn how the wind works, set up and fly a kite safely, and use the safety systems.
  • Intermediate – IKO Level 2 (3–4 hours): body drag, relaunch the kite from the water and stand up on the board for your first rides.
  • Independent – IKO Level 3 (around 6 hours): ride upwind, change direction and master self-rescue, ready to rent gear and ride on your own.

Want all three? Then our Full Course covers every level in 12 hours over 4 to 6 days, either one to one or in a small group of 2 to 3 students. Best of all, it costs less than booking the levels separately, and your IKO card is included.
