Learn Kitesurfing on Fehmarn
Learn Kitesurfing on Fehmarn
Fehmarn is one of the best places in Germany to learn kitesurfing. Flat water, reliable Baltic wind, and a station that brings everything together in one place – welcome to Primesurf in Gollendorf.
Why Fehmarn is perfect for learning kitesurfing
You do not need to fly to Egypt or Sicily for your first kitesurfing course. Fehmarn offers exactly what beginners need: space, reliable conditions, and a spot where learning feels safe, structured, and fun.
The island is one of the windiest areas in Germany. From April to October, Fehmarn offers a long season with many good days on the water. Combined with beginner-friendly areas, shallow water, and plenty of space, it is one of the best places to learn kitesurfing in Germany.
And when it comes to learning on Fehmarn, Primesurf is the school on Fehmarn. Not just another kite school, but a place where the course, the spot, the atmosphere, and the community all come together.
Primesurf in Gollendorf – the station on Fehmarn
Primesurf is located in Gollendorf at Orther Bay and is the only station in Gollendorf. That alone makes it special.
You are not learning between crowded schools, busy launch areas, or random beach setups. Primesurf is a deliberately chosen location with its own atmosphere, its own space, and its own identity. It is the place for watersports in Gollendorf.
What makes this spot stand out:
• The only station in Gollendorf – a real unique selling point on Fehmarn
• Only around 50 metres from the dike, where you rig up
• The only place with a ramp into the water – at many other spots, you need to walk over rocks with your gear
• A large grassy area right at the station – perfect for theory, trainer kite sessions, setup, and relaxed arrival
• A café on site – ideal for coffee in the morning, lunch during your break, or winding down after your session
• Lots of space and a relaxed atmosphere – not a hectic mass-school environment, but a place where you actually want to spend the whole day
Primesurf is not just a kite school. It is a complete station with everything you need for a session, a course, or a full stay.
What Primesurf Fehmarn offers
Primesurf Fehmarn is about more than just lessons on the water. The station combines sport, stay, and community in one place.
Kitesurfing lessons
From complete beginner courses to progression coaching. You learn step by step, safely and in a structured way, with experienced instructors and modern teaching methods.
Wingfoil lessons
Wingfoiling is one of the most exciting new watersports. At Primesurf, you can start right here in Gollendorf, from your first handling session to your first glides on the board.
Camps
If you want more than just a course, you can join camps with several days of coaching, time on the water, and a real group atmosphere.
Accommodation and packages
One of the big Primesurf advantages: you can book not only your course, but also your full package with accommodation. That turns a few lesson days into an easy watersports getaway without the usual planning stress.
SUP and other sports
If you want to explore the calmer side of the Baltic Sea as well, Primesurf also offers more than just kiting.
Café & Bistro, grassy area, and space to stay
The café and bistro, together with the large grassy area, make Primesurf much more than just a place for lessons. It is a spot where people stay, relax, meet others, and enjoy the full atmosphere long after their session ends. Grab a coffee in the morning, enjoy something to eat between lessons, or wind down after the water with everything from soups and wraps to an Aperol Spritz in the evening sun. That mix of sport, good food, drinks, and a relaxed social vibe is a big part of the Primesurf experience.
What to expect from a kitesurfing course at Primesurf
Day 1 & 2 – Theory, kite handling and first time in the water
The first two days of your journey to learn kitesurfing on Fehmarn are all about building the right foundation. You start on land by understanding the basics of the sport and getting comfortable with the kite before taking those skills into the water.
This includes:
• understanding the wind window and wind directions
• learning the safety systems
• equipment setup and kite checks
• launching and landing
• basic right-of-way rules
After that, you start with the trainer kite on the large grassy area. This is where you develop your first real feeling for steering, control, and the pull of the kite in a safe and relaxed environment.
Once you are comfortable on land, it is time to get into the water. Here you begin with bodydragging, where the kite pulls you through the water without the board. It may sound simple, but it is one of the most important steps in learning to kitesurf.
During this stage, you learn how to:
• control the kite in the water
• understand and manage the pull of the kite
• orient yourself in the water
• recover your board after a fall
These first two days give you the essential skills and confidence you need before moving on to waterstarts and your first rides.
Day 3 and 4 – Waterstarts and first rides
This is where everything comes together. You enter the water with the board and practise:
• correct board positioning
• the waterstart
• your first rides downwind
• controlled stopping and braking
Gollendorf is especially good for this stage because the setup and learning environment are made for progression. You are on the right way to learn Kitesurfing on Fehmarn.

Kite & Yoga Camps
Welcome to our new yoga camps in Sicily! Our yoga instructor Madlin tells you what you can expect at our camps:
I’m Madlin and as a kitesurf instructor at Primesurf in Sicily, I like to combine yoga and kitesurfing as yoga helps build and strengthen the deep muscles needed for kitesurfing. After completing my 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Bali, I discovered my great interest in teaching yoga, especially in combination with kitesurfing.
There are different types of yoga, but I particularly enjoy practicing vinyasa yoga. Vinyasa yoga is characterized by flowing movements accompanied by conscious breathing. I started practicing yoga myself a year and a half ago and quickly experienced how it helped me to clear my head and focus better on the here and now. Today, yoga is the ideal way for me to start the day.
That is why we start our day with a relaxing yoga class right next to our beautiful lagoon. Let your gaze wander over the lagoon while you breathe deeply and prepare your mind for the day. After the yoga session, the whole group will head out onto the water to go kitesurfing. We prepare the right equipment, analyze the wind together and then you’re ready to go!
After kiting, we do a more relaxed yoga session to stretch and regenerate ourselves.
In the evening, we meet at one of our bars by the lagoon and reflect on the day. We will also take you to the tastiest restaurants so that you are recharged for the next kite and yoga day!
As a special highlight, I offer you a special sunrise or sunset session directly on the beach during our yoga camps. When the wind stops, we immerse ourselves in the yoga philosophy and go on exciting excursions to explore the island together. Discover not only the mix of yoga and kitesurfing with our camps, but above all the beauty of Sicily and find your inner peace in the midst of our breathtaking landscapes!
I look forward to seeing you!

Off to Favignana!
Experience an adventure on the turquoise sea: a boat trip to Favignana, the jewel off Sicily!
When the wind takes a break in Sicily, it’s time for a trip to the Egadi Islands. The coastline of Favignana reveals hidden coves, white sandy beaches and rocky shores that invite you to explore. Swim in the enticing waters, snorkel in underwater worlds teeming with life, or simply enjoy the sun on the deck.
So, here we go! What do we take with us on the boat? Our bathing suits, a towel, a sun hat, sunscreen of course, our snorkeling gear, plenty of water, delicious Italian snacks for refreshment and a cool drink for the evening aperitif.
So we usually start our boat day at Saro – because here you can get a large selection of paninis, small other snacks to take away or other delicacies. We also stock up on drinks and fruit at the supermarket and the fruit store Maria.
The boat starts at the beach of San Teodoro. Here we load up all our stuff, stow our backpacks and then we’re off! We are heading towards Favignana, the largest of the Egadi islands. But of course the way is the goal! On the way to Favignana we stop after about 30 minutes at the first bay. Here turquoise water and an exciting underwater life awaits you! Jump with snorkel and fins into the cool water and discover many small fish. Back at the boat it’s time for the lunch snack. Strengthened and relaxed we continue and reach the second bay, Cala Rossa. Here many small boats are already moored, because in Sicily a boat trip around the Egadi Islands is popular and almost everyone here owns his own boat.
After a second snorkeling round we go to Favignana and moor. Favignana has a beautiful old town, there is of course excellent ice cream and we sit down and enjoy an espresso in the sun. On the island you can also have a delicious lunch.
When eating on this enchanting island you can expect real delicacies from the depths of the sea. Let yourself be seduced by juicy shrimps, tender calamari and delicious mussels.
After a short break on the island we go back on the boat. We circle the island a little further and then find the bar Pura Vida.
We moor and go up to the bar, because it is located on the cliffs of Favignana. The beach bar Pura Vida invites you! Immerse yourself in the cool atmosphere of this bamboo bar. In front of you stretches a dreamlike view of the endless horizon of the ocean.
What to drink? Of course a refreshing Aperol Spritz – what else in Sicily!
After a successful Aperitif we start back towards San Teodoro. The sun is already slowly setting and you can see Sicily in an unbelievable light.
We go back to the starting point and leave the boat tired and happy. A boat trip to Favignana promises unforgettable moments that will take you to another world. So come on board and join us on this incredibly beautiful boat trip!
