The story of KiteActive

27th August, 2025 Written by: felix

Rooted in a dream and a deep passion for kitesurfing, KiteActive was born – created out of love for the elements and the joy of riding the water with friends. It started small, like a gust of wind, a vision to bring people together and to live life to the fullest while flying your kite across the waves.

The story of KiteActive

Written in the spirit of Bob Marley

Yeah, this is the story of KiteActive – a community where freedom rides the wind and the ocean calls your spirit. You feel me?

Born from a dream and a deep passion for kitesurfing, KiteActive was created out of love for the elements and the joy of riding together with friends on the water. It started with a vision: to bring people together, to squeeze the most out of life while flying your kite across the waves.

We say: “Come, feel the rhythm of the ocean, let the wind guide you. No worries, no fear, only pure connection with your kite, yourself, and the elements.”

But it’s not just about kitesurfing. KiteActive is about community, about the vibe, about feeling freedom and breaking down barriers – one wave at a time. You may arrive as a stranger, but you leave as family, connected by the wind, the shared experiences, and the One Love we all celebrate together!

“Come, feel the rhythm of the ocean, let the wind guide you. No worries, no fear – only pure connection with your kite, yourself, and the elements.”

We travel the world, across the seven seas – from the golden beaches of Zanzibar to the windy kitesurf paradise of Brazil. Always chasing that perfect wind, we spread positive vibes wherever we go. Every trip is a new chapter in this epic story of ultimate freedom.

Friends, join us. Be part of the KiteActive Revolution. Let the wind guide you, let the ocean share its wisdom, and let the KiteActive family show you how beautiful life can be when you live in harmony with the elements and with each other!

One beautiful planet – One Love. Let’s discover it together!

2011, the birth of KiteActive

The start of a kitesurf journey with no end in sight.

KiteActive began by organizing kite and sailing trips along the Dutch Wadden Islands. We quickly discovered that combining a week of intensive kitesurfing with a holiday full of wind, beach, water, and a laid-back vibe was the perfect recipe. And so our concept was born: Eat.Sleep.Kite.Repeat.

Our passion for travel and kitesurfing has taken us to the most stunning kitespots worldwide. From Tarifa to Brazil, from Zanzibar to countless other unique destinations. Each spot has its own vibe — from low-budget adventures to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. What always stays the same? A unique location, a world-class kitespot, a relaxed atmosphere, creative no-wind options, and our super chill, enthusiastic, and experienced team together with our amazing community.

We offer lessons and coaching at every level — from your very first meters on the board to your first megaloop — because we believe everyone loves to keep learning. It doesn’t matter how old you are, what gender you identify with, or what color you wear. With us, there’s only one rule: the sky is not the limit.

Our Philosophy

Your kitesurf journey begins the moment you hold a kite in your hands – and if all goes well, it never really stops. KiteActive is with you every step of the way: from your very first meters on the water to pushing your limits with megaloops.

We believe kitesurfing should be accessible, educational, and above all, fun. Kitesurfing is not something you do alone, but together. It’s the power of the kite community that connects people, breaks them free from the daily grind, and brings them closer to nature.

Together with our professional and super enthusiastic team, you’ll discover the world’s most beautiful kitespots. We carefully select destinations that are perfect for every kiter: from solo adventurers to groups who want to share the stoke. Thanks to our years of experience and partnerships with local accommodations, you’ll always stay comfortably and affordably – often right by the beach.

KiteActive is more than a travel company – it’s a lifestyle. A place where learning, fun, and adventure come together. For us, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from: young or old, beginner or pro – the kite connects us all.

KiteActive – by kitesurfers, for kitesurfers. The sky is not the limit.
