Where can you learn to kitesurf?

Kitesurf locations near Amsterdam

Depending on the wind conditions we choose the location of your kitesurfing lesson. The first kite lessons we try to go to flat water spots to make as much progress as possible. However, all kite lessons are in the Amsterdam area, about 30-40 minutes by car. Check out at which locations Kiwi Kite gives lessons.

Wijk aan Zee

Kiwi Kite gives kitesurfing lessons in Wijk aan Zee near the bunker. In the summer there is often a south-westerly wind, making Wijk aan Zee a suitable place to learn kite surfing. Wijk aan Zee is a good place with south-westerly winds because of the location of the pier. The waves and currents are broken by this, creating a perfect sea for a kitesurfing lesson. The beach is very large in Wijk aan Zee, giving you plenty of space to learn kiteboarding.

From Amsterdam you can drive to the kite surfing location in Wijk aan Zee in about 30-40 minutes. Wijk aan zee is one of the six locations where Kiwi Kite provides kite surfing lessons in consultation with you.

  • 30 - 40 minutes drive from Amsterdam
  • Suitable for a southwesterly wind
  • Long coast

Zandvoort

We will go to Zandvoort with north (west), south and southwesterly winds. Zandvoort is a good place to learn to kite. The coast is very long, so during your kitesurfing lesson in Zandvoort you have plenty of room to practice. In Zandvoort, special zones of the sea have been assigned to kite surfers.

IJmuiden

We go to IJmuiden to give kitesurfing lessons with a southerly wind (then it is offshore in Wijk aan Zee) and with a northwest wind. You are then perfectly positioned behind the pier of IJmuiden. Here you can stand for a long time and with a north wind you will not be bothered by currents and high waves. The beach of IJmuiden is huge, just like in Wijk aan Zee and Zandvoort. This gives you plenty of room to practice. From Amsterdam you can drive to the kite surfing location in IJmuiden in about 30-40 minutes. IJmuiden is one of the six locations where Kiwi Kite provides kitesurfing lessons in consultation with you.

  • 30 - 40 minutes drive from Amsterdam
  • With a south wind
  • Large beach, plenty of room to practice

Schellinkhout

Schellinkhout is suitable for many wind directions (south-west, south, west, south-east) and you can stand everywhere. With south-western winds it is a stable landward breeze and very suitable for learning to kitesurf. If the wind is too strong for a kitesurfing lesson at sea, we can also go to Schellinkhout. Here you always have flat water and the wind is often not as strong as at the coast. From Amsterdam it takes about 45 minutes to get to the kitesurf location in Schellinkhout. Schellinkhout is one of the six locations where Kiwi Kite provides kitesurfing lessons in consultation with you.

  • Approximately 40-45 minutes drive from Amsterdam
  • Suitable for kitesurfing in many wind directions (southwest, south, west, southeast)
  • Always flat water, less strong wind than at sea

Edam

With an easterly wind Edam is a good spot to learn kite surfing. Then the wind is offshore at Wijk aan zee, Zandvoort and IJmuiden and unfortunately we cannot give kite lessons there. We often also plan a kitesurfing lesson at Edam to experience what it is like to kite surf on inland waters. The sun also often shines with an easterly wind. Edam is a flat water spot where you can stand in many places, so that you can easily grab your board and start riding the board quickly! From Amsterdam you can drive to the kite surfing location in Edam in about 40 minutes. Edam is one of the six locations where Kiwi Kite provides kite surfing lessons in consultation with you.

  • Approximately 40 minutes drive from Amsterdam

  • Flat water spot where you can stand in many places

Muiderberg

We go to Muiderberg when the sea is too rough for a kitesurfing lesson and when the wind is not suitable for kiting by the sea (such as with north east wind). Muiderberg is a nice kitesurf spot to learn kite surfing, because you can stand far in the water. We often plan a kitesurfing lesson at Muiderberg to experience what it is like to kite surf on inland waters. Muiderberg is one of the six locations where Kiwi Kite provides kite surfing lessons in consultation with you. From Amsterdam you can drive to the kite surfing location in Muiderberg in about 30 minutes.
