YOU CAN COUNT ON THIS AT BLOW
In our view, a downwinder is ultimate freedom. We leave the safe spot behind us and rock downwind along the coast to our destination. In the meantime, we smack the lip, use the waves as a take-off and enjoy the last piece of unspoiled nature in the Netherlands: our North Sea.
- TRANSPORT & STORAGE
We always provide transportation of to BLOW in the form of buses of taxis. We store all your belongings safely in our kitesurfing school.
- INSTRUCTOR ON THE JOB
Before the downwinder, we brief the group during a skippers meeting, help you with the material and keep an eye on things during the downwinder.
- WARM WELCOME TO BLOW
After a downwinder it is wonderful to land at our home port. A drink and a snack will be waiting for you while we exchange stories 😉
THE BLOW DOWNWINDERS
There are 2 downwind options. These are based on your kitesurfing and downwind experience. Always choose the option that suits your level. Nothing is more annoying than having to stop prematurely or getting into trouble because the level is just a little too high.

What happens if I have a breakdown along the way?
During the downwinder we always work with a buddy system. Buddies always look out for each other. For example, if your buddy's lines got confused, so you help each other on the coast so that you can continue together.
It is recommended that at least a buddy always has a phone with them in case of an emergency.
It is possible that you have bad luck along the way, it is your responsibility to always ensure that your material is up to date. If you are stranded, it is also your own responsibility to go to blow or the bus.
Please note: there is no bus or support along the downwinder. BLOW has instructors who can assist you, but are not responsible for stranded kiters.
What is included in the price?
