BLOW is open from March 1 to October 31. Your kitesurfing lessons are valid for 365 days with the exception of November – March. Make sure you plant them on time. It is recommended to start lessons early in the year en to schedule these in quick succession so that you can kite-surf as quickly as possible.

Learning kitesurfing without kitesurfing lessons is extremely dangerous and difficult. We at BLOW Kitesurfschool we strongly advise against this. Compare it to snowboarding a steep slope without experience. Apart from the fact that it is scary, you also run the risk of a terrible accident.

Kitesurfing lessons make kitesurfing less less dangerous and painful. In addition, there are a number of other advantages:

• Learning kite surfing is a super fun process
• You learn kitesurfing faster
• You do not need your own stuff
• You learn to estimate risks
• And during the kitesurf lesson (s) you will get to know a lot of new people

Most of the accidents that happen in the kitesurfing world happen to 99% by beginners who think they do not need kitesurfing and therefore make the most crucial mistakes. By taking kitesurfing lessons at a good kitesurfing school with experienced instructors, you ensure yourself safe, personal and especially fun kitesurfing lessons.

You can not learn kite surfing in 1 kitesurfing lessons. From our experience we see that novice kitesurfers need about 3 to 5 kitesurfing lessons to get a good grip on kite surfing. It is important that you learn not only the practice but also the theory so that you can always kite safely and independently.

You should always pay attention to the following points when you want to follow safe and good kitesurfing lessons. Not every kitesurfing school attaches great importance to safety & quality.

1. Certified kitesurfing school
Please note that kitesurfing schools are certified according to the leading quality marks: IKO/ VDWS/ NKV. BLOW Kitesurfschool is certified as 1 of the 6 IKO kitesurf centers in the Netherlands.

2. Experienced Instructors
Do the instructors have demonstrable experience and are they certified according to the applicable standards? BLOW only employs highly trained IKO and NKV instructors with a background in technology, sports & health. Because they have years of experience in teaching, they can clearly convey both theory and practical exercises.

3. Maximum group size
Check how big the groups are in a kitesurfing lesson? BLOW Kitesurfschool uses a maximum of 3 students per kitesurf teacher in a group to maintain the safety and quality of a kitesurfing lesson. With more than 4 students, the quality of a lesson quickly decreases.

4. New Material
A kitesurfing school should always use well-maintained and new equipment during all its kitesurfing lessons. The risk of accidents increases the older material is used. BLOW renews all kites and bars 2 or 3 times a year so that we always work with the latest material.

During the season all material is checked every few days by the instructors of BLOW. To ensure the safety of our students during a kitesurfing lesson, helmets, impact vests and lycras are mandatory.

5. Customer friendliness & Service
- Is the kitesurfing school still available for further advice after the kitesurfing lesson?
-How is the school well known and what is the reputation of the kitesurfing school?
-How about certification, when will you receive your IKO certificate?

6. Location
As with snowboarding, it is nice to start on a blue slope without bumps and steep slopes. This principle also applies to kitesurfing; you learn kitesurfing faster in flat and knee-deep water. That is why BLOW gives kitesurfing lessons on the Zandmotor in Kijkduin. In this lagoon you don't have to take rough waves and currents into account so that you can focus 100% on your board & kite. If you do lose your board, you can walk through the shallow water and easily find your board again.

At BLOW you always have three options. You can kitesurf in a private, duo or group lesson. Each choice has its own advantages. The size of the group lessons is a maximum of 3 people to ensure the safety and quality of the lessons!

• Private kitesurfing is the most effective way to learn kitesurfing, but can sometimes be very intensive.
• Duo kitesurfing lessons are very effective and you can still learn from each other.
• Group lessons are the cheapest option. You can learn from each other, but if you already have experience you will make progress less quickly.

On average, a novice kitesurfer between the 3 a 5 lessons need, so we always recommend to take group lessons in the beginning so you can reduce costs while learning everything about kitesurfing together with your buddies! After you 3 day course is it wise to take 1 or 2 kitesurfing lessons (duo or private) to put the dots on the i so you can really independently kitesurfing with enough self-confidence!

We believe that everyone can learn kitesurfing from 8 to 80 years old!

BLOW Kitesurfing School is the kitesurfing school that is allowed to teach children. We are an internationally recognized IKO kitesurfing school and are allowed to teach children from 6 years to power kit and from 8 years to learn kitesurfing. We firmly believe that everyone can learn to kitesurf!

Without wind it is not possible to learn kite surfing, because a minimum number of knots is needed to keep a kite in the air. On the other hand, there is a maximum of the number of knots to safely provide kitesurfing lessons. On average, 70% of the lessons will continue!

• Minimum wind: 10 nodes (3bft)
• Maximum wind: 30 knots (6-7bft)

This always depends on the experience and weight of the student and the components that we want to teach the student.

"If a kite surf lesson does not go ahead, we always contact (e-mail, telephone, SMS) with our students so they do not come for nothing."
