At Kitekollektivet you can choose between four types of kitesurfing courses - trial, private, buddy and team courses.

Examination course

A kitesurfing trial course is for those who are looking for a taste of kitesurfing. On a trial course, you'll have a fun experience where you'll get an insight into what kitesurfing is all about. You'll try out the basic techniques, try out a kite and be pulled through the water. However, don't expect to get on the board, as it usually requires 10 hours of lessons for beginners. A trial course is for 4-6 people. Bring your friends or meet other people who are also interested in trying kitesurfing!

Please note that a kitesurf trial course is currently only available at Amager.

FAQs

Kitekollektivet and our Kitesurf courses are for everyone who wants to kitesurf. To participate in our team courses, you must be at least 12 years old and be able to swim 200 meters with a life jacket on.

Kitekollektivet and our kitesurf courses are for everyone who wants to kitesurf. 

We do not have an ambition to handle as many students as possible, but to teach everyone in our collective to windsurf safely and with maximum pleasure. Common to the courses is the ambition that everyone has a skilled starting point to stand on their own after completing the course. In Kitekollektivet we offer group and private courses. 

‍Private courses The private course is for those looking for maximum benefit and learning. You will receive 1:1 instruction from your instructor, providing the best and fastest conditions to become an independent kitesurfer. This course will help you achieve your goals, whether you're a beginner or advanced.

Partner courses The buddy course is a really fun way to learn to kitesurf. There will be two students and one instructor. You can sign up with someone you know, or we'll put you together with someone else who also wants a buddy course. You can share tips and tricks with your buddy and see how each other do it, which provides optimal conditions for learning. ‍

Group courses If you are a group of 3-4 people who want a course or just a good and fun day together, we tailor the program specifically for you.

No wind, no course, no payment. Kitesurfing requires a minimum of 6 m/s and it makes no sense to teach in less as the kites cannot stay in the air. As a starting point, we always expect your kite course to happen and we will contact you 1-2 days before if this is not possible. You will then receive an email with a link where you can rebook for a new time.

Kitesurfing is a wind sport, so sometimes it takes a booking or three to get it right, but sometimes you get lucky!

If you book a course at a desired time during a period, you are reserving a date and a time, which will block other possible bookings. If you are unable to attend your booking, you must notify us as soon as possible so that we can fill your place. If you cancel less than 24 hours before the start of the course, we reserve the right to charge 50% of the course price as a fee. If you do not show up for the course at all, we charge 100% of the course price - however, this has rarely been used. We reserve the right to cancel and rebook according to weather conditions. weather conditions - you will always be notified by email.

If you've never tried kitesurfing before, the course always starts on land. We hold theory lessons on Wednesdays from 19 - 21. Here you will be introduced to the sport, go through the theory part and gain insight into the practical course.

Then the rest of your course takes place on the beach, where it's straight into the equipment and down on the beach and rigging. During rigging, you'll receive a safety briefing, and then you'll get out into the water. Out in the water, you start with basic exercises and kite control. Slowly you move on to more action-packed exercises like bodydragging. You only have one kite up per instructor, as it's not possible to send two beginners out with one kite each and an instructor to share. Two people with one kite each can share an instructor as soon as both are good enough. The time frame can vary, but is typically 10 hours.

When you are on a course at Kitekollektivet , our insurance covers third parties in case you accidentally hit others with the equipment. 

Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover you and it is therefore important that you check if you have insurance that covers you in case of injury/accident. We take safety very seriously, but we recommend that you check with your insurance before you go on a course. Still, not all insurance companies cover kitesurfing in a regular accident insurance, as it can fall under extreme sports. 

We basically teach at Amager, near Copenhagen. The following kitesports: sydvestpynten or cafe sylten. These are both beginner spots with the best conditions for learning the sport in a safe environment.

The only thing you need to bring on our courses is a swimsuit & towel and clothes suitable for the weather conditions, as we start on land. In addition, we recommend that you bring some snacks and drinks and possibly sunscreen on hot days. 

There are changing rooms, showers and toilets at Copenhagen Surfcenter.

You must provide your own transport to the place of training.

We have many years of experience in selling equipment to our students. We have chosen to open a physical store located near Denmark's largest kite spot: Sydvestpynten. Here you can be guided in which equipment suits your level and the Danish climate.  

You are always welcome to stop by Kalvebod vej 250, Dragør or visit our webshop
