WHAT SPORT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN?

WATERSPORTS

What you need: For all the courses you just need to bring a towel and your favorite swimwear. Wetsuits, and technical gear are always included.

KITE LESSONS

Private
Private for 2
3 Days Courses

Maybe you didn’t expect it but, guess what? Kite spots on the IJmeer, Markermeer, and IJsselmeer waters present perfect conditions to learn how to kitesurf: wide spaces with shallow and flat waters plus constant wind. There’s no need to travel to exotic destinations to learn kitesurfing. Save the money for the airplane ticket and accommodation, and use it for buying your personal gear. Take the chance of special deals dedicated to our students!

By joining one of our kitesurf courses, you will learn about wind and meteorology, all you need to know about safety on the beach and in the water, everything about kite gear, and practice with our step-by-step instructions in the water until you’ll be finally able to waterstart and ride.

FOIL LESSONS

At Wakestyl,e we are foil enthusiasts. Hydrofoil fins have been a revolution for many sports, from kitesurfing to sailing, opening to new possibilities and totally new sports like Wingsurfing. Still, foil boards are technical gear that takes time to master.

Even experienced riders could have the feeling of having to start to learn from zero again!

With the help of our boat, an easier SUP-foil board, and WakeStyle's experienced instructors, you can learn to foil safe and quick in just one lesson!

Once you understand the hydrofoil dynamics and know how to ride a foil, you can apply it to your favorite sport: kitesurfing, surfing, windsurfing, wingsurfing, SUP...

wingsurf lessons

WINGSURF LESSONS

Wingsurfing is undoubtedly the new trend for summer 2021, attracting both expert and first-time riders with no previous watersport experience. Anyone can do it!

The advantages of Wing Foiling are: easy to learn, less equipment, quicker to set-up, low wind riding and safety.

Wingsurf courses are divided into different blocks: A part on dry land, to learn how a foil wing works and how to set it up, and a part in the water, to learn how to get on the board, how to waterstart, and the pumping technique. Once you master these skills, it’s time to combine them and start to wingsurf!

Wing lessons are so divided into 3 blocks:

Wing control
Pump technique
Wing-foil

It is also possible to have some Wing Skate lessons on a longboard skate. This is ideal to improve your skills and also a good option to practice wing-foiling during the colder months of the year.

sup lessons

SUP LESSONS & TOURS

To those willing to enjoy the summer sunny days and warm weather in a more relaxed way, but still staying active, we offer StandUp Paddle courses, private lessons, and SUP tours! But make no mistake: supping is a total body workout!

SUP lessons will have an introduction on the shore, followed by a beautiful trip through a nature reserve. Our SUP Instructors will be next to you at all times, to improve your balance, posture, Supping technique, and making turns. Our SUP private lessons are both for beginners and more advanced suppers. All lessons are adjusted to your skill level so you learn the quickest.

To those who have little or no SUP experience we offer 3 days SUP courses, designed for those who would like to learn the basics of supping the right way. During the first lesson, you will learn the basic principles of supping and focus mainly on balance and posture. During the second lesson we continue to focus on posture and we dive into the paddling technique. The third lesson is a recap of the previous two lessons.

SKATEBOARDING

SKATE LESSONS
