KITE COACH RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE KITE COACH RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE KITE COACH RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE KITE COACH RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE

Welcome to Kite Coach

Over the past 20 years, Kiteboarding has undergone a transformation; from a daredevil sport that would make the headlines due to accidents and bans, into a truly safe, versatile and accessible sport for people of all ages and backgrounds. Aside from growing bigger however, schools have mostly stayed the same. Based on a model inherited from the windsurfing era, schools are unable to meet the growing demand for high-end private lessons. Working as a kiteboarding instructor, Ruben van Domburg spotted this trend. Creative by heart and backed by a bachelors in Sports and Education, Kite Coach was founded in 2016 and designed to meet the needs of the aspiring riders of today.

Intercom

At Kite Coach, we never leave you hanging! Every Session with a certified Kite Coach is accompanied by a two-way communication system: which means realtime feedback & instructions.

We Capture the Action

Your Kite Coach will closely monitor your progress, by capturing footage of your practice during every session and upload it for you to see and share with your family and friends.

Suit up

The TEN Kiteboarding Team designed their 5/4 mm Manna wetsuits especially for Dutch conditions. They will keep you warm and comfy, while our Mystic Impact Vests will provide the necessary protection to your ribs and vital organs.

We’ve got the Pinna

The Pinna by TEN Kiteboarding is true gentleman. We’ve got them all sizes from 5m2 up to 13m2. For the light-wind days, we’ve got a friendly giant: our Flysurfer Soul 15m2, so we can ride, when others can’t!

Act(ually) easy

TEN nailed it when it comes to their boards too, with the Act. Shaped by Eddy Lansink and fitted with comfortable footpads, this easy rider has helped me to get dozens students to ride their first meters.

Harness the power

Mystic, another Dutch based Brand, has been an industry leader since for 15 years when it comes to Kiteboarding accessoires. We’ve got seat harnesses in all sizes, to provide a secure yet comfortable connection.

Simply Wunderbar

They managed to make it look so simple and easy to handle, but as the designers at TEN put it, the bar “…could very well be the most engineered piece of equipment in your kit”. Unexpected, right?

The Core

Spoiler alert: it’s YOU

At Kite Coach, we focus on you. This means that our sessions are tailor-made to suit your needs and preferences. We’re playing with forces of nature that are out of our control. This is why the Kite Coach Concept is designed be as flexible as possible in all elements that we can control. This applies to the gear that we use, the coaching methods as well as to planning: we kite if it’s windy and when you’re available.

Why private sessions work

Fact: People learn by doing. And unlike other action sports like windsurfing or snowboarding, learning the basics of Kiteboarding requires constant supervision by a professional. So in order to keep things safe, kiteboarding schools will only teach one student at a time, even when in groups. At Kite Coach, we choose to focus on Private Sessions, so you can skip the waiting.

Slide KITE COACH SCHOOLS LEARNING WAITING KITING TIME PROGRESSION

As opposed to schools, Kite Coach offers Airtime, instead of courses. In order to enable you to compare prices between Kiteboarding Schools and Kite Coach, I've created a calculation tool. It converts course prices to effective hourly rates: the actual time spent learning to kite. It might help you make up your mind.

Meet the Founder

You could call me a millenial. Raised in a time when we were taught to choose one subject, study, get a job and stick to it. Personally, I was never able to just stick to one thing: I’ve always been interested in many disciplines, unifying them through science and philosophy. Whether it be through music, design or sports, they all allow me to express my humanity. Kiteboarding is also a mixture of many disciplines. Designing the Kite Coach concept enables me to contribute to this beautiful sport, by coaching aspiring riders in a way that makes sense.

Our modular approach

Instead of a topdown hierarchical structure, Kite Coach is taking a modular approach to business. These incredible custom-made Cargo Bikes by Urban Arrow are the building blocks, with which we’re aiming to build a network of Kite Coaches; each one operating independently on different kiteboarding spots across the Netherlands (and who knows where else!).

Are you a Kiteboarder with a passion for teaching? Are you an instructor, longing to take your coaching to another level and make an actual living doing it?
