1ISO
One International Sports Organization
Quality standards and certification for instructors and learners alike. Building safety, skill and awareness, and the respect on the water that keeps our sports open to all of us.
Trained riders keep spots open
Launches close when riders become a problem for the people who manage them. Trained, self-policing riders are the opposite of a problem. That is why education sits at the centre of every chapter.
1ISO certification covers right-of-way, the wind window, self-rescue and respect for the launch, and it leads every piece of safety content across the network.
Community certification
Sponsored certification weekends at every chapter. Anyone who signs up and shows up leaves certified as an independent rider, free.
Instructor certification
Complimentary instructor certification for qualifying stewards and members who want to teach at their chapter.
Clinics
First seats at local clinics go to members: kite repair, self-rescue, first aid and foil intro.
Right-of-way
Who gives way, where, and why. Taught on land before anyone rigs.
Self-rescue
What to do when the wind drops, the lines tangle or the kite goes down far from shore.
Respect for the launch
Launch and land where the rules say, keep clear of swimmers, wildlife and what the park protects.

Certification weekends are posted by each chapter.
