This school can not be taken serious! It is basically fraud. You have to pay for multible lessons and at the end, you can not take them. If the owner decides he does not feel like giving lessons (they will tell you the wind is the problen, even if other kiteschools give lessons) they just chancel them. And at the end, you dont event get the money back! Thats right. You travel there and pay for the lessons. And then they cancel them and refuse to give you the money back. That is clearly not legal!

Thanks, for the lessons

(Translated by Google) I have positive and negative experiences with this kite surfing school. Below I want to emphasize that the lessons are good. The instructors are good. I particularly liked Julien. I find it misleading that the school (still) sells courses on their website including use of wetsuits. but after the first lesson indicates that borrowing a wetsuit is not possible and students must purchase it (offered at the school). RIVM rules are put forward as a reason for this. I checked this and this doesn't seem to be correct. What I found very unfortunate is that this unexpected (time) pressure to buy a wetsuit, between lesson 1 and lesson 2 and in addition the poor communication from the owner of the surf school (almost a week no response), was at the expense of my pleasure during this course. A simple call from the owner after my complaint had made things a lot more fun. The first two lessons were with 4 students and the third lesson was with 6 students. I thought this was too much, the instructor did his best, but this group size was at the expense of attention and safety. Positive: The school is pleasant and flexible with lesson plans and they communicate well about whether or not the lesson continues. Instructors are just great. Points of improvement: The entire course the same instructor, maximum 4 people per lesson and students of the same level together. Changing the website concerns wetsuit use. (Original) Ik heb positieve en negatieve ervaringen met deze kitesurfschool. Onder de streep wil ik zeker benadrukken dat de lessen goed zijn. De instructeurs zijn goed. ik vond met name Julien zeer goed. Ik vind het misleidend dat de school op hun website (nog steeds) cursussen verkoopt inclusief gebruik van wetsuits. maar na de eerste les aangeeft dat lenen van een wetsuit niet mogelijk is en studenten deze (aangeboden bij de school) moeten aanschaffen. Als reden hiervoor worden regels van het RIVM aangedragen. Ik heb dit gecheckt en dit lijkt niet te kloppen. Wat ik erg jammer vond is dat deze onverwachte (tijds)druk om een wetsuit te kopen, tussen les 1 en les 2 en daarnaast de slechte communicatie van de eigenaar van de surfschool (bijna een week geen reactie), ten koste ging van mijn plezier tijdens deze cursus. Een simpel belletje van de eigenaar na mijn klacht had dingen een stuk leuker gemaakt. De eerste twee lessen waren met 4 studenten en de derde les was met 6 studenten. Dit vond ik teveel, de instructeur deed zijn best maar deze groepsgrootte ging ten koste van de aandacht en veiligheid. Positief: De school prettig en flexibel met lesplanningen en communiceren ze goed over of de les wel of niet doorgaat. Instructeurs zijn gewoon heel tof. Verbeterpunten: De hele cursus dezelfde instructeur, maximaal 4 personen per les en studenten van hetzelfde niveau bij elkaar. Website aanpassen betreft wetsuit gebruik.

We booked a 5 day course. 5 people divided between 2 teachers. The teachers were well trained and passed on their knowledge with skill and patience. Very nice and motivated. The communication on site and the coordination of the hours via WhatsApp worked very well. Great importance was placed on safety. Despite there being little wind, a lot was done to ensure that we were able to take all the lessons.

Perfect

(Translated by Google) First experience kitesurfing abroad, unfortunately without taking lessons so it didn't go very well. After this, my partner and I decided to take a three-day course. What an experience! You learn it from the most experienced instructors. In addition to the pros, you surf with the latest materials, which offers even more confidence. They have chosen a prime location for kite surfing. You will be well guided so that you quickly get tips and techniques. All in all definitely recommended! (Original) Eerste ervaring kitesurfing in het buitenland gehad, helaas zonder lessen te volgen dus verliep het niet geweldig. Hierna hebben mijn partner en ik besloten een driedaagse cursus te volgen. Wat een ervaring! Je leert het van de meest ervaren instructeurs. Naast de profs surf je met de nieuwste materialen wat nog meer vertrouwen biedt. Ze hebben een toplocatie gekozen om te kitesurfen. Je wordt goed begeleid waardoor je snel tips en technieken meekrijgt. Al met al zeker een aanrader!

Received good lessons from Ralph and Gijs! After 4 lessons we were able to water start and sail. We will definitely continue kiting!

Paid during corona time and can't take lessons yet. Prepaid. Drove once to Kijkduin to find out again that the lesson was again canceled and there was not enough wind. No refund due to general terms and conditions, so you lose your money but no lessons. I would look further.

Ok

(Translated by Google) Nice people and a cozy nearby beach tent 'De Staat'. Free parking nearby. Unfortunately, due to the bad weather and little wind, the last lessons of the season were canceled. These toppers have extended my course by one year, so that I can still finish my course. I myself chose the 3-day course. Recommended to sign up here, both for you and old. Keep it up! (Original) Leuke mensen en een gezellige nabijgelegen strandtent 'De Staat'. Gratis parkeergelegenheid in de buurt. Helaas door het slechte weer en weinig wind de laatste lessen van het seizoen niet doorgegaan. Deze toppers hebben mijn cursus met een jaar verlengt, zodat ik mijn cursus toch kan afmaken. Ik heb zelf gekozen voor de 3-daagse cursus. Aanrader om je hier aan te melden, zowel voor jouw en oud. Ga zo door!

Goede kiteschool met fijne communicatie. Persoonlijk zal ik wel aanraden privé les te nemen of een kleine groepsles om te voorkomen dat je met je niveau mee kan gaan. Qua school zeker aan te raden!

I would not recommend this Kitesurfing school. The owner is very hard to communicate with - I know because I worked there last season and it caused me a lot of disappointment and stress. There are plenty better managed schools, you might want to check one with a base on the beach - less walking to the spot and a place to chill before and after the lesson. On top of that, in most other schools you get smaller groups for one instructor, meaning you have more feedback and time with the kite - you learn faster and in a nicer, more careful environment. This might be one of the cheapest options, but is far from the best. Kiting is a great sport so you might want to introduce yourself to it at a nicer school. All of this is of course only my opinion, however I feel obligated to share my experiences to prevent anyone from possible disappointment.

Already shared here by someone else: The first lesson was with 4 students and the second lesson was with 6 students. This is too much. All students complained that they received insufficient guidance. The group size was at the expense of attention and safety... this lesson was chaos! One of the trainers also attacked a student several times, continuing to talk about possible material damage. While there was hardly any guidance... it's like getting driving lessons from a driving instructor who barely guides you, but complains if you make a mess... in short, a cheap, expensive story!

Because of the limited wind days, it was simply not possible to stand on a board after having paid for 3 days of lessons within our one week holiday. That's a pitty, no partial refund possible... I suggest you book individual lessons and pay afterwards and not upfront as I did. I tried to talk to the organizer but he said: "no one ever get's a refund"...

Nice beach, professional equipment and very competent teachers. The three day beginners course is highly recommended for everyone who wants to learn how to kite!
