Frequently asked questions Kitesurfing school
Why should I take wingfoil lessons?
Learning to wingfoil without lessons is extremely dangerous and difficult. We at BLOW Kitesurf School strongly advise against this. Compare it to snowboarding down a steep slope without experience. Besides the fact that it is terrifying, you also run the risk of a terrible accident.
Wingfoil lessons make wingfoiling less dangerous and painful. There are also a number of other advantages:
- Learning wing foiling is a super fun process
- You learn to wing faster
- You do not need your own stuff
- You learn to estimate risks
- And during the lessons you get to know a lot of new people
Most accidents that happen in the surfing world are 99% caused by beginners who think they don't need lessons and therefore make the most crucial mistakes. By taking wingfoil lessons at a good kitesurfing school with experienced instructors, you ensure safe, personal and, above all, fun lessons.
How many wing foiling lessons do I need?
You cannot learn wing foiling in one lesson. From our experience we see that novice kitesurfers need about 3 to 5 wingfoil lessons to get the hang of it. It is important that you not only learn the practice but also the theory so that you can always fly safely and independently.
Until when can I schedule wingfoil lessons?
BLOW is open from April 1 to October 31. Your lessons are valid for 365 days except November - March. Make sure you schedule them on time. It is advisable to start lessons early in the year and schedule them in quick succession so that you can wing foil independently as quickly as possible.
Does a lesson always take place?
Without wind it is not possible to learn to wing, as a minimum number of knots is needed to move forward. On the other hand, there is also a maximum number of knots to safely teach wing foil. On average, 70% of the lessons always 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 wingfoil lesson is canceled, we always contact our students (email, telephone, text message) so that they do not come in vain.”
Isn't wing foiling dangerous?
Wingfoiling 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 to this, make sure you stay within your own 'comfort zone', start slowly with sailing back and forth, that's already fantastic.
Taking lessons is an important step in this. This is how you learn to wingfoil safely and responsibly. The way BLOW Kitesurf School teaches is by applying a step-by-step methodology. You set the pace. In addition, we use the latest and safest materials so that we can rely 100% on our material.
We are convinced that everyone can learn to wingfoil and that it will become the #1 popular sport in the Netherlands! We see it every day. Everyone can learn it, from 10-year-old kids to 70-year-old grandfathers!

What should I pay attention to when choosing a kitesurfing school?
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.
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.- 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. - 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. 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.
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?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.
