"In kitesurfing, we find our balance on a board...






...and in life, we find it through the ups and downs." 



Private Lessons for Advanced

If kitesurfing is not enough, we give you three words: Surfboard, Hydrofoil, and Wingfoil. Start playing with the waves by using a surfboard, gliding over the water with a foil board, or trying to wing! The Surfboard is definitely a challenge, since you don’t have any board straps- plus you have to turn the board for every transition. In case there is light wind, take the Hydrofoil. It makes you float above the water surface where you have the soft and smooth feeling of flying. It is very technical since you have no straps and only one direction to ride. Winging is a totally different story. Your balance will get tested to its maximum. Feel the freedom without all the gear attached to you- hold the wings with your bare hands and fly!
