At KiteFEEL, you can learn to kitesurf on the Markermeer. With the wind in your kite, water up to your knees and Schellinkhout behind you. The surf centre has changing rooms, toilets and hot showers. Handy, because coming home dry is worth something too.
Who is this a good site for?
For beginners who want to learn kitesurfing. And for kiters who want to practise further under supervision. Also suitable for wing, windsurfing and parakite lessons. Groups can request a bespoke activity.
When will you visit here?
On a day with a good southerly, south-westerly, westerly or west-north-westerly wind, Schellinkhout is ideal for kitesurfing lessons. When the wind is blowing from other directions, KiteFEEL sometimes moves to Medemblik.
What to expect.
You’re standing on a spacious lawn by the water. The kite tugs at your lines, the wind pushes against your wetsuit. The water in the bay is shallow, perfect for your first few metres. Afterwards, you rinse off with a hot shower. Not an unnecessary luxury, but certainly a treat.
A lesson usually lasts…

A lovely spot to get out on the water. The bay is shallow, making it ideal if you’re still practising. And if you don’t get it right straight away? Just have another go. The wind isn’t going anywhere.
Activities on offer include kitesurfing, wing foiling, windsurfing and parakiting.
Yes. The shallow bay at Schellinkhout makes this a great spot to learn how to kitesurf.
It’s best to book lessons in advance. Lessons are also subject to wind conditions.
