Kitesurfing at Kitekollektivet

Welcome to our kitesurf courses page. Here you will find all our different course offers, booking and FAQ.

Kitesurfing is a fast-growing sport in Denmark that will put a smile on your face and a sweat on your brow. 

Kitesurfing lessons take place on flat water with a sandy bottom where you can bottom anywhere. This gives you the best conditions to get started quickly and safely. 

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 for the time being, a trial course will only take place in Amager.

Kitekollektivets kitesurfing theory

Get ready for your kitesurfing course

If you have never tried kitesurfing before, you will need 2 hours of theory lessons in our surf center before your practical lessons on the water. It is an advantage if you have gone through our online theory folder beforehand.

Theory lessons at the surf center take place on Wednesdays from 19-21, so you can choose which day it suits you to attend.

The theory will prepare you to get on the water and here you will learn about wind and weather conditions, safety, preparation and packing of the kite, etc.

Have a great time!

FAQs

Kitekollektivet and our courses are for anyone 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 courses are for anyone 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 who are 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 to achieve your goals, whether you are a beginner or an experienced kitesurfer.

Buddy courses
The buddy course is a really fun way to learn to kitesurf. Here you will be two students and one instructor. You can sign up with someone you know, or we can put you together with someone else who also wants a buddy course. There is the opportunity to share tips and tricks with your partner 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.

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

Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover you and it is therefore important that you check if you have an insurance that covers you in case of injury/accident. We are very safety conscious, but recommend that you check with your insurance before you go on a course.

As a kitesurfer you are dependent on the wind, and therefore Kitekollektivet always gives a wind guarantee. This means that should the wind fail or be too strong on the agreed day, we will agree on a new date as soon as possible, where your course will be held.

We are a mobile and flexible kitesurfing school, which means that we can teach at the best and most beginner-friendly spots on Zealand.
