You can not learn kite surfing in 1 kitesurfing lessons. From our experience we see that novice kitesurfers need about 3 to 5 kitesurfing lessons to get a good grip on kite surfing. It is important that you learn not only the practice but also the theory so that you can always kite safely and independently.

BLOW is open from April 1 to October 31. Your kitesurfing 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 kitesurf independently as quickly as possible.
Is a kite surf always going on?
Without wind it is not possible to learn kite surfing, because a minimum number of knots is needed to keep a kite in the air. On the other hand, there is a maximum of the number of knots to safely provide kitesurfing lessons. On average, 70% of the lessons will 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 kite surf lesson does not go ahead, we always contact (e-mail, telephone, SMS) with our students so they do not 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 does it in their own safe way.

Certified kitesurfing school

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

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.

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.
