Ik doe de driedaagse cursus samen met mijn 14-jarige zoon en we hebben het allebei enorm naar ons zin. Nogmaals bedankt Tara voor de fijne les. Echt een aanrader voor wie wil leren kitesurfen!
4 ipv 5 sterren gegeven omdat de eerste les doorging (na gevraagd te hebben of de les écht doorging vanwege zeer slechte windvoorspelling), en de les na één uur op het strand gekloot te hebben, toch afgelast werd...
PS: De moeite waard om na afloop een pizza te eten, die zijn GEWELDIG, van pizzakoning Aad! 😉
De instructeurs zijn enthousiast, deskundig en weten precies hoe ze je op je gemak moeten stellen. Wat ik sterk vond, is dat de begeleiding heel persoonlijk aanvoelde en dat er continu nuttige feedback werd gegeven. Daardoor merkte ik na elke les duidelijk vooruitgang.
De sfeer is relaxed en motiverend, waardoor leren niet alleen effectief is maar ook gewoon heel leuk. Zeker een aanrader als je serieus wilt leren kitesurfen én plezier wilt hebben tijdens het proces.
And we had the best instructor: Storm!! Thanks to Storm’s lessons, I was almost able to stand after just 3 lessons! He’s nice and direct, explains things really well, and helps you out so much. After the 3 beginner lessons, we booked even more lessons right away!! I can recommend it to everyone 🙂
Elke les had ik een andere instructeur (Thijmen, Tristan en Nelson) – allemaal jonge, enthousiaste gasten die alles duidelijk en relaxed uitleggen. Echt een top ervaring en zeker een aanrader!
Today I had my second lesson with Tristan. He’s great at guiding you through body dragging.
She was super nice and explained everything really well!
During these kiteboarding lessons, I learned how to ride the first stretch and keep all the safety rules in mind.
My first lesson was with Sebastiaan; I had never kitesurfed before, but he explained everything very calmly and step by step on the beach. The next lessons were with Hisol and Tristan. They gave clear instructions and gave me the confidence to get out on the water. There’s a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and you can tell they teach with a lot of enthusiasm.
I’m looking forward to the next lessons 🙂
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.

Frequently Asked Questions Kitesurfing School
What's all included in the price of a kitesurf lesson?
During the lesson, we naturally provide all the necessary kite equipment — from kite to board and harness, everything is included. You can buy water shoes in our shop if you want. Don't have your own wetsuit? No problem — you can easily rent one from us. This way, you're always well-prepared to get on the water!
Group division & lesson planning
During the first day of your course, we work with small groups of at least 3 and no more than 6 students. This way you get a lot of personal attention, but you also learn from each other and share the first kitesurfing experience together.
From the second lesson (in a multi-day course), the group becomes even smaller: you will then be on the water with a maximum of 3 students, depending on the type of lesson you have chosen — private lesson, duo lesson or group lesson.
Very occasionally it happens that there are not enough participants registered for a specific time slot. In that case, we will always contact you. You will then have the option to upgrade to a duo or private lesson at an attractive reduced rate. Of course, you can also choose to move the lesson to another time with sufficient participants free of charge.
This way we ensure together that your kitesurfing lesson always takes place in a way that suits you!
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!
What are BLOW's lesson times?
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
Wondering about the group sizes for a kitesurf lesson? BLOW Kitesurfschool maintains a maximum of 3 students per kitesurf instructor in a group (except for the intro lesson) to ensure the safety and quality of a kitesurf lesson. 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
-Is the kitesurfing school still available for further advice after the kitesurfing lesson?
-How well is the school known and what is the reputation of the kitesurfing school?
-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.
