NEW VIRTUAL IKO MEMBER CARD
Until April 2019, an IKO Member Card was issued at the end of each course given by an IKO centre. This card not only contained insurance, but also certified the skill level and improvements, from basic level up to independent level 3.
Thanks to this card, recognised in all the centres of the world, you could rent equipment and the schools or the instructor would know your level of skill.
Today everything has changed and the Card is now virtual, the vCard!
Well aware that technology is advancing and must be harnessed to make life easier for people, IKO has introduced a virtual card, the vCard! The vCard stores all the athlete’s data together!
The vCard is in fact a passport to your kiteboarding experiences and opportunities, worldwide. To realise the vCard, IKO created an app in which paper cards are converted into vCards.
