To become an affiliated center, you must:

• Have at least one IKO instructor level 2

• Have at least one rescue craft equipped with safety devices according to nautical regulations and ready to be used or one at disposal and ready for the rescue within maximum 5 minutes of the center
• Set the safety and rescue procedures (accessible phone, accessible first aid kit, define the procedure to follow in case of emergency)
• Comply with legal regulations in the operating country
• Have a current third liability insurance policy for kiteboarding activities
