VDWS KITESURFING SYSTEM
All our students can get a personal kiteboarding licence from their instructor. This card (with its specific licence number) aims to be a permanent companion and, by this, illustrates one’s VDWS kite apprenticeship for the rental of equipment and vis-à-vis local authorities.
Every passed level will be confirmed and recorded by a corresponding sticker on the kiteboarding licence card.
The level system includes 7 level and one theory level. For the classic basic licence you need level 5 and the theory level..
