The world's original kitesurfing training system !

Kisstory
HISTORY: The K.I.S.S. system was the world's first kitesurfing teaching system. The KISS System was developed in Hawaii by kitesurfing trainers, David Dorn and John Holzhall with assistance from many pioneer kitesurfers. The KISS system was the first teaching system to offer standards, and training, to promote kiteboarding safety on an international basis. The KISS techniques have now been widely adopted by the industry and still form the basis of many teaching systems. The KISS recommends that every kiteboarder undergo adequate training from a certified Instructor, We also thank all the many other kiteboarders who have participated in a contributed to the program. In 2006 the KISS founder David Dorn joined forces with the IKO to become the instructor trainer with the new organization and now defers all the instructor certification to the larger organization. The work of the KISS continues on through the IKO. In 2007 the KISS instructor training was suspended, and the majority of KISS instructors and trainers have since been recertified and joined with the IKO and other regional organizations. 

Any remaining KISS Instructors wishing to be recertified can contact IKO.
