We aim to start kitesurfing lessons from early April, weather permitting. Kitesurfing lessons will not take place if the temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, it's still too cold then.

You are considered an independent kitesurfer if you know how to choose the right equipment for any weather condition. You must be able to follow the regulations and perform a self-rescue. You also need to be able to manage in winds above 5 Beaufort and kitesurf in deep water. If you can do all that, you're well on your way!

If you take kitesurfing lessons with us for a weekend or longer, we can help you arrange accommodation at 'Zeilschool de Morra' in Hemelum or 'De Weyde Blick' in Warns. Overnight stays start from €35 per night, including breakfast.

If you are a student and can show your student ID, you'll receive a 10% discount on all kitesurfing courses.

Absolutely, you can book a 2-day, weekend, midweek, or even a week-long kitesurfing package with us. Contact us for more information.

If the wind is too light or too strong, kitesurfing lessons will be cancelled. We will then immediately check when the lesson can proceed and reschedule.

It can also happen that a kitesurfing lesson is cut short during the course. This can be due to bad weather (thunderstorms, very strong gusts of wind, or no wind). For the remaining course time, you will receive a voucher, and a new date will be reserved. This can be arranged immediately or at a later time.

• No wind: 9 knots (2 Beaufort or less)
• Maximum wind: 25 knots (7 Beaufort or more)

* For advanced kitesurfing lessons, a maximum of 30 knots (7 Beaufort) applies.

Yes, it's recommended depending on the kitesurfing location. At the Workum kitespot, there's a snack bar and a supermarket. At Mirns, you can order food at the restaurant or snack bar.

We are moving your kitesurfing lesson to your reserved date. If, unexpectedly, a different date is needed, we will arrange it with you.

Depending on the wind direction, our schedule, and anticipated crowds, we will choose the most suitable location in consultation with you.

We work with experienced instructors and provide kitesurfing lessons according to the worldwide IKO / KNWV curriculum. This allows us to deliver high quality.

The introductory course is for anyone who wants to give kitesurfing a try. It helps you decide if you want to pursue this amazing sport further. If you already know you're serious about learning to kitesurf, then a week-long course is your best option. You'll learn all the ins and outs of kitesurfing there.

We provide all kitesurfing equipment, except for a wetsuit. You can rent one for €6 per day. All you need to bring is swimwear and a towel.

• Flip-flops are also convenient at most kitesurfing locations.
• If it's sunny, don't forget to bring sunscreen and sunglasses.
• A packed lunch (optional).
• Payment is via iDeal, or on-site by debit card or cash.

Please bring the general declaration form, printed and filled out.

Unfortunately, kite lessons don't always take place due to wind conditions. Do you want to be sure if your kitesurfing lesson will go ahead and at which location? Please contact us at least 1 day before the course. Our phone number is: +31 (0)6 57 333 735.

We regularly take photos during our kitesurfing lessons, so there's a good chance you'll be in some of them. You can find these on our Facebook page.

Depending on the skills you've acquired, you'll usually join an advanced class. You'll continue your kitesurfing lesson from where you left off. Of course, you can also opt for a private lesson.

No, you don't need to be strong to kitesurf. The kite's power is transferred to your harness, so your body weight helps you control it.

Of course, you can also take the kitesurfing course over multiple days; this depends on the chosen course. For example, if you want to split the complete course over three days, that's perfectly fine. We kindly ask you to mention this during registration.

We only confirm the exact start time of lessons the day before the course, as it depends on wind conditions and scheduling. Kitesurfing lessons usually start at 10:00 AM or 1:30 PM. Lessons are given in 2.5-hour blocks. The daily schedule is outlined below.

• 09:45 AM: Arrive, complete paperwork.
• 10:00 AM: Morning kitesurfing session begins.
• 12:30 PM: Lunch break.
• 01:30 PM: Afternoon kitesurfing session begins.
• 04:00 PM: Lesson concludes with evaluation.

It's possible, but the chances are very slim. On average, it takes 10 to 15 hours before you can kite downwind and back. Of course, you might be the one who can do it within 5 hours. ;)

Anyone can learn to kiteboard. Since some people learn faster than others, you'll receive lessons tailored to your own level.

Absolutely, we have great deals on kitesurf equipment. Let us know if you're interested, and we'll arrange the equipment for you.

No, kitesurfing is not very difficult to learn. It depends on your personal aptitude for learning new skills. Kite control can typically be mastered within three hours. The most time is spent on combining it with the kiteboard. If you already participate in sports that have common ground with kitesurfing, it will naturally be easier. For example, think of skateboarding, wakeboarding, skimboarding, windsurfing, or powerkiting.

No, we start with a relatively small kite, which allows you to learn kitesurfing safely and responsibly. So you definitely won't be flying meters through the air.

No, kitesurfing is not difficult to do. It's not hard on your arms either. You use your body weight, which allows you to easily control the kite without needing much strength.

If you were unable to complete your lesson, you have one year to redeem your kitesurfing lesson. Kitesurfing lessons can be made up in Workum and Terschelling.

Always contact us 1 day before the course between 19:00 and 21:00 by phone.

Unfortunately, the wind is unpredictable. We organize other cool alternative sports activities that are perfect for your technique and balance, such as:

• Wakeboarding
• Paddleboarding
• Longboarding
• Indoboarding
• Slacklining

Our groups can range from young to old, and are often evenly split between men and women. Typically, the group consists of ages between 20 and 45, with exceptions, of course. We teach beginners and offer tips to advanced kitesurfers, so you can expect all skill levels with us. We also often offer optional group activities you can join. For some trips, you might share a large room with another guest, but this will be indicated.
