update (12-10-2020):
We are going to make something out of it.
That’s our bottom line. There is a lot to do about corona and travel. But the bottom line is that we will not leave you out in the cold. Below we have described how we do that.
Current situation
After a nice summer season in Greece and a number of great Wadden festivals, we have decided to keep the autumn calm. So unfortunately no Brazil this year & nbsp; & nbsp; What we are going to focus on this winter anyway is & nbsp; Snowkiten & nbsp; in France and our lovely place in & nbsp; Zanzibar ! Be welcome in our own guesthouse and kite center on Zanzibar! Read more info about Covid-19 in Zanzibar here.
Adjustments to our program
For & nbsp; our kite trips & nbsp; we make adjustments to allow them to proceed safely. Think of procedures for sleeping and distance during lessons & amp; clinics. This has been thought through and before we leave there is a protocol according to the then applicable rules.

Is your kite level intermediate / waterstart?

Kitesurfen is niet een sport die je zomaar even in een middag leert. Daarom zijn onze reizen perfect! Je bent een week lang op een perfecte bestemming met mensen die het ook willen leren en perfecte condities. Tel uit je winst 🙂
Get kitesurfing lessons at the most beautiful locations in the world! Is the purchase of a kite still uncertain for you? Or don’t you feel like dragging it all along on the plane? Do you like to be guided during kite surfing or do you prefer to do your own thing? You learn kitesurfing the fastest if you are involved with it every day, why not during a nice holiday? Kitesurfing is not something you learn in three hours. Even after having spent ten hours on expensive kitesurfing lessons, you have not fully mastered real kite surfing and you think: “I wish I had booked a nice kitesurfing holiday with KiteActive”. With us you are on the water so much that you make huge steps progress and also have a great time!
With all our trips it is possible to book lessons, pro-clinics and rental with supervision. Below you will find an overview of the packages and prices that you can book with your trip. It is also possible to book this on the spot, but then you run the risk that extra coaching is no longer available or is fully booked.
Almost all our trips include coaching. Do you want to get better? Then you will certainly benefit from our instructors and coaches who will guide you during your trip.

Unfortunately, no one can control the wind, and that’s the charm of our sport. No matter how wind-safe a destination is, it can always happen that it does not blow for a few days during your holiday. Fortunately, no-wind activities are organized by our instructors, but you actually come for a week of kite surfing and you think it is a shame if you cannot fully use your booked and paid package. Fortunately, we have a & nbsp; NO WIND & nbsp; points & nbsp; system that applies to every destination and package. & Nbsp; PLEASE NOTE : This does not apply to KiteRental!
Be smart, and email us immediately after your holiday about your credit if you have not worked enough hours!
Every hour & nbsp; kiteless equals a € 35 credit voucher Every & nbsp; hour & nbsp; private lesson equals a € 55 voucher
EXAMPLE : & nbsp; You have booked a package of 9 hours of lessons, you can only take 6 hours of lessons due to bad wind, then there are 3 hours left that you have credit worth 3 x € 35 = € 105
Your credit is tracked and stored by our instructors on site. If you ask for your credit after your holiday, we will confirm this and you can start using it. The credit can be redeemed in various ways.
You can buy something nice for your future kite career in our & nbsp; webshop
You can redeem the hours on one from our other & nbsp; destinations & nbsp; during your next trip (in discount on the trip, make up hours, or discount on another package) < / li>
You can redeem it in a gift voucher and make someone happy
With all our trips it is possible to book additional lessons, pro-clinics and supervised rental. Below you will find an overview of the packages and prices that you can book with your trip. It is also possible to book this on site, but then you run the risk that extra coaching is no longer available or is fully booked.
Try something new and go on a golf surfing holiday
You have kitesurfing, windsurfing and.. wave surfing! Golf surfing is something that everyone knows and dreams of from an early age. There is a huge respect for the legends who surf the biggest waves in the world in Portugal and Hawaii. In the kite scene, of course, we know legends such as Robby Naish and Jesse Richman who conquer big waves with their kite and waveboard.
During our kitesurfing holidays we often offer no wind activities such as golf surfing. Also during our downwinders in Brazil most kiters bring their wave surf board. There is nothing better than kissing for miles and controlling waves with your board on the water and your kite as a tool to be on the right wave at the right time. This is called wave-kiting and this is a huge branch within sport kitesurfing. With KiteActive we offer 2 trips that are ideal for learning wave kiting or just endless waves!
To broaden your horizons, stay physically fit and be 1 with mother nature, we can definitely recommend you to give the sport of golf surfing a chance!
A few reasons why goflsurfing might be for you!
For wave surfing you don't need wind but golf. This is the reason that you can often do cool trips closer to home with a great certainty that you will still get your hours on the water as opposed to kitesurfing where you are always dependent on the wind.
Furthermore, you need a lot less material, only a board that is suitable for your level, weight, height and you can go on the water!
You are ACTIVE! Something that we as KiteActive of course love. With wave surfing you train a lot of muscles. You have to paddle hard to be in the right place at the right time. But once you're on the perfect wave, the feeling is magical! You will underestimate it but sometimes it is still quite a challenge to paddle through the surf. But one thing is for sure, you have a wonderfully satisfied feeling to a day active outdoors!
While you are active, you also relax. Waiting for the perfect wave, it sounds boring but nothing could be more true! It is very nice to wait together for the right wave. You will also completely relax after your active effort and go for the very best wave! If you can do this, the ecstasy will be huge!
Another advantage is that with wave surfing you already achieve success compared to kitesurfing. After a few hours you can already catch small waves while kitesurfing takes at least 9 hours to make your first meters
For both sports money that it is much more than just a sport, it is a lifestyle! So you meet cool people, you tailor your agenda to the conditions and you plan your holiday to your favorite surfing destination!

We often get the questions about how to maintain my kite the best. One of the questions is whether the kite should be rinsed after use in salt water.
In order to immediately distinguish between salt and fresh water, it is important to know what happens with both.
Salt water will conserve after some time, so it will not mold. Fresh water, on the other hand, will mold, this is also called getting back in. From this you can therefore conclude that it is better to leave your kite with salt than fresh water in the kite bag.
Example : You went kiting on the North Sea. After kiting you let your kite dry on the beach, then you go home. At home, you think it’s a good idea to rinse your kite and let it dry for a while. Because you are going out for dinner that night, you do not store your kite completely dry again.
You feel you have now maintained your kite well, but in theory it could be that your kite now gets a week wet to completely cover itself with mold. Now this will be fine with just a week, but you can understand that if you clean up your kite you will never be completely sure when you will get it again.
Conclusion
To properly maintain your kite, it is very important that you put it away dry. This will ensure that your kite can never get moldy. If it is the case that you cannot put your kite away dry, it is less harmful with salt water than fresh water.
If you do put the kite away wet, make sure that you do not close the kite bag completely. It would be even better that you explain the kite so that it can dry calmly.

our fight for a better planet
we want to kitesurf on a green planet and a blue ocean
Traveling and discovering our beautiful planet is something that cannot be expressed in terms of value. We do, however, make use of our planet and we want there to be something to discover for our future. Because admit it, kitesurfing is much nicer on a green planet in a blue ocean, isn’t it?
