WHY WINGBOARD WITH US

The International Wingboarding Organization (IWO) is the sister organization of the International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO). That allows us to leverage the large international network of water sports centers established by IKO and its more than two decades of experience in watersports education.

The IKO developed a world-referenced methodology to create lesson plans and training materials for kitesurf students and instructors. We’ve replicated this process at the IWO to develop a first-of-its-kind wingboard training program that includes a proven progression path for recreational wingriders and professional wingboarding instructors.
