About the spot

In Zandworth, kitesurfing is combined with the life of the beach town and trips to Amsterdam. There is no tropical lagoon: wetsuit, wind direction and surf confidence are important. Schools use certain kite zones, and access to them is worth checking in advance. Such a spot is interesting for those who want to feel the northern sea water and not depend on long-distance air travel.

What to pay attention to

Check the official kite zone, water temperature and offshore wind directions. Beginners benefit from supervised lessons.

How to plan the road

Zandworth is convenient to reach from Amsterdam; with a large kite bag, plan the last part of the journey ahead.

Before paying, check with the receiving team the place of study and the nearest comfortable accommodation. “Hotel by the sea” and “hotel by the kite zone” do not always mean the same thing.

Where is it?

The marker shows the area, not the exact launch point. Find the station address and permitted area at the school.

Questions before travel

How to choose the time of the trip?

April-September is a guide for planning. Before paying, confirm the season at the local school and check the forecast for travel dates.

What to ask the school before booking?

Where the lessons are held, what the size of the group is, whether the equipment is included, what language is taught and how the rescue on the water is organized.
