Kitesurfing camp in Europe's top spot with the best wind statistics
Water, sun, wind plus a kite (stunt kite) and a board - these are the ingredients for this fantastic fun and natural sport. You don't need any previous experience, just a little respect and love for nature, fun learning new things with others and celebrating it afterwards by cooking together and around the campfire.
In the kite course, beginners learn the theoretical basics as well as practical experience such as setting up, dismantling, launching, landing, relaunching, harness technique, one-handed and "blind" flying, bodydrags, water launching, riding and gliding. Advanced riders learn how to "run upwind", carving jibes, switched stance, transitions, grabs and big airs in supervised kiting.
Trained and certified VDWS kite instructors will help you during this week, depending on the weather, to learn safe "running upwind", turning maneuvers or your first jumps.
