Our Statement
Our Kitecruises are fully organised and run by the owners, Ronja & Brendan. We are personally on each of our kitecruises to ensure maximum quality and a very personal touch. We take a maximum of 22 guests on our trips to not overcrowded the kite spots and you will leave the week not only with a package of professionally taken photos (for free!) but a new group of like minded kitesurfers and friends. We have many people coming back each year to meet old and new kiting friends.
No hidden costs
We include all environmental fees and other boat costs in our price and are upfront about any additional costs for extras - unlike other companies. Not included in our price is a customary crew tip for the boat crew, recommended between 50-80€ per guests at the end of the trip if you are happy with the service provided.
The Beach setup
We have a full beach setup with sun umbrellas, deckchairs and coolbox. We pump your kites for you with dive tanks, so all you need to do is run your lines and go kiting. We do not offer a full beach service (setting up complete equipment for you) as this often leads to the equipment spending a lot of time in the sun and many people prefer to organise their own equipment. But our team is on the beach at all times to assist you.
Kitesurfing & Progression
We offer pre breakfast sessions and have our schedule tight after and before meals to allow you the maximum amount of kiting time in the day - if you want it! Our team is on the beach ready for rescues and giving tips and tricks as well as demonstrations for you for free. We want you progressing the most in your week with us, so let us know what you are working on and we will help you get there.
Kitesurfing Rental & Testing
We use the latest Kites and a range of models from Duotone on our Kitecruises and limit the amount of rental bookings per week to ensure, every person has the equipment needed at all times to go kitesurfing. Our rental equipment is kept in excellent conditions and we offer to test equipment or rent equipment for a day if you need a different size depending on availability.
Kitesurfing Lessons
We offer kitesurfing lessons for beginners and intermediate kiters, that are not able to ride upwind yet. For our lessons we use radio headsets, all safety equipment and limit our group size to 2-4 people depending on the level and suitability of the spot. Brendan is our main instructor, he has 10 years of experience in teaching and his unique teaching approach will make you progress and learn to become a safe and independent kitesurfer in your own time.
Secret spots
We have a few secret spots we can visit over the week which are less crowded to give you the maximum amount of space on the water.
Flexible Itinerary
We keep our itinerary over the week very flexible. Depending on other boats and the tides, we will change spots sometimes very last minute to do our best to get the spots to ourselves.
waterlaunch
We have a special technique we can use for our beginners when teaching to get them away from the main kite spots and allowing for plenty of space. It also allows us to visit some special spots and provide waterlaunch for the whole group.
