Kite
Wadden Sea World Heritage Site. A unique kitesurfing experience! Discover the most beautiful kitesurfing spots in Europe on a traditional sailing clipper. Together with skipper Roel, we’ll search for the best kitesurfing spots on the Wadden Islands. Kilometers of expansive beaches with beautiful surf and beautiful, clean waves. When the tide is right, we’ll run aground and kitesurf around the boat in mirror-flat lagoons!
Kitespot guide – Dutch Islands
27th August, 2025The Wadden Islands are a true paradise for kitesurfers: …
Weather & Wind
Always an extra 5 knots on the Wadden Sea
Where the mainland falls silent, the Wadden Sea keeps blowing. That’s why there’s always action! There’s (almost) always enough wind for kiting. Is a windless weekend planned for your favorite spot? Check Terschelling and you’ll want to reserve your spot right away.
The trip
Go with the flow
As a kitesurfer, you live with the wind; you go when the waves and tide are right. It’s exactly the same with our trips. You go with the flow. And with us, the flow is… TheWind!
What can you expect from our Wadden Sea trips?
Expect a weekend full of sailing, kiting, and music. We’ll sail across the Wadden Sea and discover kitesurfing spots you haven’t seen before: from deserted sandbanks to downwinders along the North Sea coast.
Our Wadden Sea Festival is a unique sailing and kitesurfing adventure where we take you to the most beautiful and unspoiled places in the Netherlands. Away from the crowds, surrounded by nature.
Finding a beach on the Wadden Sea? We’ll do it.
Sleeping on a traditional 1900 sailboat? Absolutely.
Partying with DJs and new kitesurfing friends on board? You bet.
Eating, dancing, and kiting together in places you’ll never forget. This is an experience you’ll remember for a long time.

Questions?
Do you have a question? We’ve selected a few frequently asked questions for you.
Can I join later or leave earlier?
No problem, but you will have to take the ferry to or from Terschelling/Vlieland yourself to get there!
What if there is no wind?
Gelukkig is de wind op de Waddeneilanden vaak 5-8 knopen harder dan op het vasteland, waardoor we bijna elk weekend altijd een paar dagen kunnen kitesurfen. Zou het kunnen gebeuren dat er een weekend geen wind is? Geen probleem! Er is echt meer dan genoeg te doen, het varen op een grote klipper is al enorm spectaculair en op Terschelling werken we samen met een hele gave surfschool zodat we heerlijk kunnen golfsurfen!
Are we going to run aground with the boat?
Running aground is a real highlight! We moor the boat on a sandbank and wait for the water to recede so we can kitesurf around the boat! Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen every weekend; it always depends on the wind conditions and the moon phase.
What is the departure harbor and parking
Harlingen – Willemskade is where you’ll find the Manna. It’s hard to miss with all the KiteActive flags. You can park in the large parking lot (there’s often space there) or reserve a spot at the small parking lot (closer to the boat). I would always drive past the boat first, drop off your gear, and then go to the parking lot to park your car!
Can I also join if I’m not kitesurfing?
Absolutely! A few years ago, we launched Kijkactive. This weekend is a fantastic experience for everyone!
Is this trip for beginners?
Sure, the Wadden Sea has some great kitesurfing spots! And it’s a great way to get your first taste of kitesurfing!
