We founded IKO back in 2001 with a simple mission - to protect kiters and promote safe teaching practices. 

Over the years, we’ve developed world renowned standards, teaching manuals and eLearning content. 

And to further realize our mission, we recently partnered with insurance experts AXA XL and SAAM Verspieren Group, to offer recreational and professional kite insurance.
