Who is a duo kitesurf lesson suitable for?
Duo kitesurf lessons are suitable for both beginners and advanced riders. Whether you want to learn the basics together or improve your skills, the instructor will tailor the lesson to your combined and individual level.
How does it work?
During the duo lesson, you will alternate using the equipment and receiving attention from the instructor. While one of you is actively working with the kite and board, the other learns by watching and getting tips. This keeps the energy high and you both benefit from the feedback.
- Alternating learning: active practice & observation
- Flexible structure: from basic to advanced
- Direct feedback for both students

Frequently Asked Questions Kitesurfing School
Why should I take kitesurf lessons?
- Learning to kitesurf is a super fun process
- You'll learn to kitesurf faster
- You don't need your own equipment
- You'll learn to assess risks
- And during the kitesurf lessons, you'll meet lots of new people
How many kitesurf lessons do I need?
You can't learn to kitesurf in just one kitesurf lesson. From our experience, we see that beginner kitesurfers need about 3 to 5 kitesurf lessons to really get the hang of it. It's important that you not only learn the practical side but also the theory so you can always kitesurf safely and independently.
Until when can I schedule kitesurf lessons?
BLOW is open from April 1st to October 31st. Your kitesurf lessons are valid for 365 days, except for November – March. Make sure you schedule them in time. It is recommended to start lessons early in the year and schedule them close together so you can kitesurf independently as soon as possible.
Does a kitesurf lesson always go ahead?
Without wind, it's not possible to learn to kitesurf, as a minimum number of knots is needed to keep a kite in the air. On the other hand, there is a maximum number of knots to be able to give kitesurf lessons safely. On average, 70% of the lessons always go ahead!
- Minimum wind: 10 knots (3bft)
- Maximum wind: 30 knots (6-7bft)
This always depends on the experience and weight of the student and the elements we want to teach the student.
"If a kitesurf lesson can't go ahead, we always contact (email, phone, text) our students so they don't come for nothing."
Isn't kitesurf lessons dangerous?
Kitesurfing remains an extreme sport, and you can make it as crazy as you want. Compare it to snowboarding; everyone, young and old, does it in their own safe way. Kitesurfing is very similar; make sure you stay within your own 'comfort zone' and start slowly with sailing back and forth, which is already fantastic.
Taking kitesurf lessons is an important step in this. This way, you learn to kitesurf safely and responsibly. The way BLOW Kitesurfschool teaches is by applying a step-by-step method. You determine the pace. In addition, we use the latest and safest materials so we can rely 100% on our equipment.
We are convinced that everyone can learn to kitesurf and that it will become the #1 popular sport in the Netherlands! We see it every day; everyone can learn it: kids from 10 to grandpas of 70!

We have three standard times of day when we teach: morning (09:00), afternoon (13:00), and evening (17:00). But if you have a special request, you can always contact us, and we'll try to be as flexible as possible!
What should I look for when choosing a kitesurfing school?
Always pay attention to the following points if you want to take safe and good kitesurfing lessons. Not every kitesurfing school prioritizes safety & quality.
Certified kitesurfing school
Make sure that kitesurfing schools are certified according to the leading quality marks: IKO/ VDWS/ NKV. BLOW Kitesurfschool is certified as 1 of the 6 IKO kitesurfing centers in the Netherlands.- Experienced Instructors
Do the instructors have demonstrable experience and are they certified according to the applicable standards? At BLOW, we only work with highly trained IKO and NKV instructors with backgrounds in technology, sports & health. Because they have years of experience in teaching, they can clearly convey both the theory and the practical exercises. - Maximum group size
Find out how big the groups are in a kitesurfing lesson? BLOW Kitesurfschool maintains a maximum of 3 students per kitesurfing 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. New Material
A kitesurfing school should always use well-maintained and new material during all its kitesurfing lessons. The chance of accidents is greater as older material is used. BLOW renews all kites and bars 2 to 3 times a year so that we always work with the latest material.During the season, all the material is checked every few days by the instructors of BLOW. To guarantee the safety of our students during a kitesurfing lesson, helmets, impact vests and lycras are mandatory.
Customer friendliness & Service

-What about certification, when do you get your IKO certificate?Location
Just like with snowboarding, it's nice to start on a bunny slope without bumps and steep slopes. This principle also applies to kitesurfing; you learn to kitesurf 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 you can focus 100% on your board & kite. If you do happen to lose your board, you can walk through the shallow water and easily find your board again.
Reviews from our heroes
Our heroes rate our kitesurfing school with an average of 4.8 via Google Reviews.
Thijmen in the evening in wind force 6. Very educational, fun and progress. And that with 'never to the 1st time'.
The next day Anna. Patient, smoothing out what I'm still doing wrong and adding the next lesson set, without me thinking this will never be anything. It will definitely be something!
Great school, great place
I'm already really looking forward to the next lesson. I "fear" that this might turn into a new hobby..!
Also had a lesson from Michael who was a bit stricter but very good at explaining things. I learned a lot from it.
I'm immediately a fan of the whole club, the vibe and the people who work there are all equally chill and nice.
I've now booked 3 more private lessons because I really want to get the hang of this, and hopefully I'll buy my own set next week so I can really get going. So glad I ended up with you guys.
