LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

Our location in Oostvoorne, South Holland, offers the ideal conditions for this. You can learn kitesurfing in the huge shallow water area of Oostvoorne, here we can teach in almost all wind directions and the extensive beach offers space for a safe course. The almost closed bay of Ostvoorne keeps waves away and is suitable for kitesurfing at any tide.

The adjacent Maasvlakte beach is a top spot for advanced kiters and offers the best conditions for surfing and stand-up paddling.

Private kite course

This kitesurfing course is primarily suitable as an advanced course for advanced kiters, or for repeaters who want to refresh their kiting skills again to get rid of the last uncertainties. As a beginner and climber you can also book this course if you have previous experience with power kites.
If you are more advanced and have already completed an introductory course, you can build on the skills you have already learned in this course. When the kite control is there, the first attempts to take off are made up to the first few meters on the kiteboard.
As a refresher course, you can deepen your skills.

All kitesurfing equipment is of course included in the price, i.e. kite, bar, board, wetsuit, trapeze and leash and can still be used by you for the rest of the day after the lesson.

Course schedule

We meet at the station at the Ketjil campsite. Here you get a wetsuit and a harness incl. Safetyleash. Then we make our way to the beach where, after a short theoretical introduction, we start with practical exercises. Your lesson time starts when you arrive at the beach!

In one-to-one lessons, the course of the course is based on your skills and needs in order to achieve your learning goal as quickly and safely as possible. We improve your kite control, your body posture while riding and the edging of the board, show you how to ride height and master the first jumps with kite support. After the private lessons, you can continue practicing with the material for the rest of the day, which is of course included in the price.

Beginners course schedule

We meet in the morning at 10 a.m. at our station at the Ketjil campsite. Here you will receive a wetsuit and a harness incl. Safetyleash. Then we make our way to the beach where, after a short theoretical introduction, we start with practical exercises.

The beginners course is divided into 2 steps. Each step builds on the previous one, so no steps can be skipped.

Step 1: Introduction, kite handling, wind window Spot briefing and safety briefing Setting up the kite and kite handling, safety systems Explanation of the wind window – launch the kite, fly in a controlled manner and landing the kite Step 2: kite control and body dragging Controlled launch and flying of the kite in the water Launch the kite out of the water (relaunch) Bodydrag on downwind course and upwind course Advanced course process

Then book a private course over 3 hours.

Kitesurf course group

The kitesurf course for beginners who also have time during the week. The course takes place every Monday to Friday in small groups of a maximum of 4 participants per kitesurfing instructor.

In your first course you will learn all the basics with us. After a short introduction to the spot (here we explain all the special features of the kite area), we immediately start setting up the equipment.
After setup and a safety briefing, we launch the kite and then we go straight into the water. After a few exercises to get used to it, you can do your first body drags – now the fun and action begins.

Setup kitesurf course

The 2-day beginners course is divided into 3-4 steps. Each step builds on the previous one, so no steps can be skipped. As a rule, level 3 is reached, some make it to level 4.

    Hydrofoil kite course for experienced kiters

Kiting almost without wind, that is the new megatrend. For experienced kiters from at least VDWS level 5 we offer hydrofoil kite courses as private lessons.
The course is aimed at kiters who are confident in handling kites and boards. Relaunching the kite with little wind requires a little experience, as does the entire handling of the board in the water in wind conditions in which the kite just stays in the air. That’s what makes kite foiling so fascinating. Once you stand on the board and lift yourself out of the water over the wing, you float almost without resistance and noiselessly over the water.

Course of the course

The course takes place from around 8 knots to around 15 knots of wind speed. Experience has shown that in the beginning it is easier when you have a few knots more wind, because you don’t have to concentrate too much on the kite control. We will drive you to a spot with a light onshore wind and sufficient water depth. After setting up the kite, we will explain the most important points in handling the hydrofoil board. Kite, bar, foil board and safety equipment consisting of neoprene, trapeze, leash, impact vest and helmet are included in the course. Of course, you can also use your own material in the course. After putting on the safety equipment, you are ready to go. Your instructor will help you with handling on land and into the water. After the body drag away from the bank, you can make your first attempts to start with the hydrofoil. The first few attempts will remind you of your time as a kite beginner – start, fall, realign, take a deep breath and start all over again.

After a few attempts, short breaks on the beach and tips and instructions from your kite instructor, you get on the board and out of the water and experience the first feeling of floating. Your instructor will keep an eye on you throughout the course and analyze and correct your skills.
