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.

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.
