Kitesurfing is the fastest growing of all water sports and demand for properly qualified kitesurf instructors is high. A fully qualified IKO kitesurf instructor normally earns between 20 - 25 Euro / hour for group lessons – sometimes more.
In addition to being well paid, teaching kitesurfing is also a challenging & very satisfying job due to the speed at which students can progress – from zero ability to Kitesurfing in a matter of days.
In addition to helping you get certified, Fluid Feeling offer all graduates of our instructor courses, including gap year students, a free job finding service within the industry through our partner network, including Club Mistral, SKYRIDERS and numerous other kitesurfing schools & water sports centres around the world.
All this makes a kitesurfing instructor course with Fluid Feeling perfect for anyone wanting to take a gap year, career break or even make a complete career change. Have a great time travelling & training with us to get qualified before continuing your travels and getting paid to work doing something you actually enjoy !!
