The international proof of qualification - the kiteboarding-licence plus workbook

You get a personal kiteboarding licence from your instructor. This card (with its specific licence number) aims to be your permanent companion and, by this, illustrates your VDWS kite-apprenticeship for the rental of equipment and vis-à-vis local authorities.

The document guarantees that you have the necessary basic knowledge and the necessary ability and you are able to exercise this sport in accord with the environment and his fellow sportsmen.

For a complete Kiteboarding Basic Licence, 5 practical and 1 theoretical exams have to be passed. Parts of the practical exam (for example to start, to land, to steer the kite in a safe way or to relaunch, to keep and obtain the hight) can be checked during a lesson.

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 theorylevel. For the classic basic licence you need level 5 and the theorylevel.
