Floor and his team provided me an excellent experience. Even when the wind was low they came up with alternative locations so we could still practice. I was honoured with Maxime as my guardian angel and was able to stand up the board (from '0') in 2 practices. Great spirit and energy. I'll definitely go back to Kiteflow for my advanced practices.

This beach Karting by wind activity is really lots of fun. It only takes a few minutes to explain the basics and you're off. Within minutes you'll get the hang of it and then it's simply experimenting to see how fast you can. You obviously need wind and no rain but if you find those conditions, this is a fun activity.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
Dutch Pedelec Tours, bike rental Wijk aan Zee, is a company that focuses on the rental of high quality e-bikes (pedelecs) in Ijmuiden, Beverwijk, Wijk aan Zee, Haarlem and environment. Why? We know that most of the people who come to the Netherlands wants to see Amsterdam. Okay, you have to be there once but there is so much more to see and experience. Why do the same as everyone does? We think that the coast and dune area of Wijk aan Zee is best explored with a bike. There are a lot of nice cycling routes in the area and cycle touring in the Netherlands is very easy because of the many junction routes.

We hebben we 2 E-bikes gehuurd. Dit was snel en goed geregeld.
Heel fijn dat de fietsen op de gewenste locatie afgeleverd werden.
Er werd ook heel soepel omgegaan met de eind tijd van de fietshuur.

At OZlines you can get lessons or just rent a board and a wetsuit. We had an all day lesson, including lunch. After some very practical instructions, we just started doing some guided practice in the sea. Right after lunch, we had a 30 minute theory and safety session in the surf school. Not too much, but very good to let the lunch sink in and learn some very important stuff. The rest of the afternoon we we spent in the water again. Perfect day!
