BLOW breathes and lives kitesurfing. The sport, the culture and transferring our knowledge. As the only kitesurf school located directly on the Sand Motor, BLOW is the home base for water sports enthusiasts and proudly the number one kitesurf school in the Netherlands.
The protected, shallow lagoon of the Sand Motor has flat water combined with a steady sea breeze, making it the perfect place to learn to kitesurf. Or how we call it "the blue slope of kitesurfing."
BLOW has over 10 years of experience teaching kitesurfing lessons. All of our instructors are certified and also very sociable!
You have to be able to trust your equipment. That's why we use the best brands in kitesurfing: North, Slingshot, Mystic and Lieuwe. Nothing but quality in our kitesurf school.
This is the most chosen kitesurfing course by our students and for a reason! The team at BLOW will get you sailing back and forth within 3 days. Wondering how we are going to teach all of this?
In the first lesson we will teach you the basics of kitesurfing: controlled kite flying with a large inflatable kite. By the end of this lesson you will be able to rig a kite neatly, "launch" in the air and perform all the basic kite flying exercises!
The focus for the 2nd lesson is to improve your kite skills and make your first meters in the water. We will go directly into the water to bodydrag and will use special exercises to get you safely and in control on the board.
Yes! You can get out of the water, now it is important to sail back and forth for longer stretches. We will focus on the water start, your posture and make sure that you get more control over your speed and direction through different exercises.
During the lesson we will of course provide all the necessary kite equipment - from kite to board and trapeze, everything is included. Water shoes can be purchased in our shop, if you wish. Don't have your own wetsuit? No problem - you can easily rent one from us. This way you are always well prepared for the water!
During the first day of your course we work with small groups of minimum 3 and maximum 6 students. This way you get a lot of personal attention, but you also learn from each other and share your first kitesurfing experience together.
From the second lesson (for 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, duo or group.
Very occasionally it happens that for a certain time slot not enough participants have registered yet. In that case, we will always contact you. You will then have the opportunity to upgrade to a duo or private lesson at an attractive reduced rate. Of course, you can also choose to move the class to another time slot with enough participants, free of charge.
So together we make sure that your kitesurfing lesson always goes on in a way that suits you!
Kitesurfing is not something you learn in 1 kitesurfing lesson. From our experience we see that beginning kitesurfers need about 3 to 5 kitesurfing lessons to master kitesurfing. It is important that you not only learn the practice but also the theory so that you can always kitesurf safely and independently.
BLOW is open from April 1 through October 31. Your kitesurfing lessons are valid 365 days except November - March. Be sure to schedule them on time. It is recommended to start lessons early in the year and schedule them in quick succession so you can kitesurf independently as soon as possible.
Without wind it is not possible to learn to kitesurf, as there is a minimum number of knots required to keep a kite in the air. On the other hand, there is a maximum number of knots to safely teach kitesurfing. On average, 70% of the lessons always go ahead!
This always depends on the experience and weight of the student and the components we want to teach the student.
"Should a kitesurfing lesson not take place, we always contact (email, phone, text) our students so they don't come for nothing."
Kitesurfing remains an extreme sport and you can make it as crazy as you want. Compare it to snowboarding, everyone young and old do it in their own safe way. Kitesurfing is a lot like this, just make sure you stay within your own comfort zone and start calmly sailing back and forth.
Taking kitesurfing lessons is an important step. This is how you learn to kitesurf safely and responsibly. The way BLOW Kitesurfschool teaches is by applying a step-by-step methodology. You determine the pace. In addition, we use the newest and safest materials so we can be 100% confident in our equipment.
We are convinced that everyone can learn to kitesurf and that it will become popular sport #1 in the Netherlands! We see it every day, everyone can learn: kids of 10 to grandpas of 70!
We have three standard day parts in which 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 try to be as flexible as possible!
The following points you should always pay attention to when you want to take safe and good kitesurfing lessons. Not every kitesurfing school has safety & quality in high regard.
Certified kitesurf school
Please note that kitesurf schools are certified according to the leading labels: IKO/ VDWS/ NKV. BLOW Kitesurfschool is certified as 1 of 6 IKO kitesurf centers in the Netherlands.
New Equipment
A kitesurfing school should always use well maintained and new equipment during all its kitesurfing lessons. Accidents are more likely to happen when older equipment is used. BLOW renews all kites and bars 2 or 3 times a year so we are always working with the latest equipment.
During the season, all equipment is checked every few days by BLOW's instructors. To ensure the safety of our students during a kitesurfing lesson, helmets, impact vests and lycra are mandatory.

Location
As with snowboarding, it's 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's why BLOW gives kitesurfing lessons on the Sand Motor in Kijkduin. In this lagoon you don't have to deal with rough waves and currents so you can focus 100% on your board & kite. Should you ever lose your board you can walk through the shallow water and easily find it again.
On the most southern part of Kijkduin beach, where the Sand Motor meets the North Sea, you will find BLOW! A "happy place at the end of the world" with really good food and a unique atmosphere where everyone can feel at home.
