West Oz Kiteboarding is the only IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) school in Perth and we have been running lessons at Safety Bay / Shoalwater for 12 years now! We use Headzone Communication Helmets to speed up your learning process so your Instructor is in constant contact with you PLUS you are learning at the best location to kiteboard (others will claim this but with our cross shore breeze, sheltered waters between the islands and mainland and safe waters surrounded by sandbars and no swimmers/boats/obstacles this really is the best location in the world).
Remember if you have this lesson with us and then purchase a full kiteboarding package, you receive the full $500 as a rebate on your gear!!
