In the hourly based courses, you book package with a certain amount of hours. Once finished, you can book more hours or rent equipment if your level is safe enough.
The kite camp is a 6 days week course. We do around 4-5 hours of kiting per day. It goes from Sundays to Fridays on specific dates, check the schedule here.
We also do theory units during no wind days. Besides that, we also organize excursions with the kite camp group.

The license only costs 35€.
If you booked a course and you cannot use the time on the water, we will offer you a voucher, which you can use in your next visit.
For Kite Camps we do not offer refunds. During no wind time, we will do interesting theory lessons and explain different things about equipment, wind, technique and more things. We will also do some excursions with the group and keep you occupied.
We are only offering refunds in case of an injury. You need to present us a medical attest.
We recommend bringing your own wetsuit, but we also have rental wetsuits at the school from size XS to size XL.
We also recommend that you bring long leggings or something similar, even in summer, as there are occasional sea anemones in the lagoon. These are aquatic animals that live on the bottom in the sea weed. When they come into contact with human skin, they can cause local skin irritation with reddening and swelling of the skin in very sensitive people. The nettles tingle slightly, in a few cases it burns a bit. Aloe vera helps.
March- late April: 5/4
May-end May: 4/3
June-July: 3/2 or without neo
July-end of August: No neoprene but possibly long leggings
September: 3/2 or 4/3
October: 4/3 or 5/4
The subsoil in the lagoon is sandy/muddy. There are no dangerous animals in the lagoon for you to step on. When it is cold, for example in the months of March, April and October, we recommend shoes because of the temperatures.
