Meet your host

The local instructors at Rascals been kiting for years, and enjoy sharing their experiences with guests. The accommodation provided by the Rascals team is thoughtful and intimate, and is great for couples and families looking for a bit of privacy and pampering. All the options below are for IKO certification, but Rascals also offers the option of teaching kitesurfing skills, without providing the IKO certification, if you prefer. This means that you can learn more flexibly, without the constraints of the IKO curriculum.
