Following last year’s success, we’re excited to travel to the IJsselmeer in the Netherlands again this fall. In Workum and the surrounding area, we’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly spots as well as a dedicated kitesurfing school. This is the perfect opportunity to wrap up the summer and dive into a new sport! All the details are in the event announcement.

On June 20, we set out early: out on the water at 5:00 a.m., joining a large fleet of other boats on the Rhine. We rotated the helmsman or helmswoman every 30 minutes, which proved to be a sensible schedule. The first serious challenge wasn’t long in coming: Shortly after our first short break, a wave from a cargo ship hit us with full force, forcing us to bail and pump like crazy afterward. The Rhine makes it clear right from the start who’s really in charge here.
