Kiteboarding in Holland is a mission. We have a lot of water and a lot of wind. Not the typical trade winds: Low pressure systems deliver cold, rainy and gusty conditions with winds coming from all directions. Scoring a good session means preparing with the forecast charts, scouting locations, and require a bit of luck. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it does not.
This season we wanted to take you on a tour trough our best spots with prime conditions. As always, the wind did not work out as planned. This shows what kiteboarding in Holland is! You always have to play with the cards you are dealt. But in this imperfectness also lies it's beauty - The unexpected is the reason I fell in love with the sport in the first place.
Let me take you on a trip in our home country and show you what the possibilities are.
(disclaimer) we had permission to kite on all locations shown in this video.

Meest inspirerende filmpje ooit voor kitesurfen. Mooie ruige beelden en spectaculaire tricks. Dit doet het zo hard kriebelen ook al spartel ik nog wat om de basis onder de knie te krijgen.
Goed om te horen Jan!
Amazing Video Stig reminds me of right here at home in the Highlands of Scotland 🏴 🤙
Das erste Kite Video das mich von Anfang bis Ende gefesselt hat.
Der Schnitt, die Musik, alles....Ein Meisterstück 🖒🖒🖒🖒
Vielen dank Chris!
Heerlijke movie met supermooie beelden Stig!
Complimenten voor Edwin. Hij weet het altijd zo mooi vast te leggen 🥇
Yeahh buddy 😁🔥
Ja edwin die kan dat wel!!
Prachtige beelden en edit. Complimenten aan de makers. 20 minuten genoten.
En wij enorm genoten tijdens het maken!🤘🏾
Great job Stig and Edwin! Makes me realize why it is so complicated to be at the right place at the right time with the right kite in the Netherland ;-)
Thanks mate!
Great edit, epic riding!
I don’t know the guy, but Stig comes across as a bit of a “zure sliert” (free translation: sour lemon, for the non native speakers).
With 140km of broad sandy beaches and a lot of wind, ridable from almost every direction. Many kiters envy Holland for its kite potential.
A shame that this is lost on the guy.
Anyway, great job guys!
Keep ‘em coming ✊🏻
Thanks dude! Yes Holland is beautiful! And definitely a very sick place to kite! But you need to search for the good😁 makes you appreciate everything even more! Definitely not the intention of this movie to come forward as a spoiled kiter.
Zure sliert :D First time I've heard that one!
nah, -the complaining about NL conditions is just to make it that much more amazing that the dutch are at the top of big air :P
congrats Stig with 3rd place at KOTA!
Espetacular vídeo, stuning tricks, show. Bravo 👏👏
Geweldig om te zien , daar krijg ik nog meer motivatie van 💪💪💪
Goed om te horen!!
I had my first kite lesson on a family vacation to Belgium & Holland way back in early 2000s, but I lived in Ohio where we all we get is snow and very small hills lol so I moved to south Florida in 2012 and been kiting ever since. Best decision I ever made! Excellent video Stig! 🤙🏼
Great story telling and editing. This is what kiteboarding is all about.
Thanks man 🤘🏾
Echt super gefilmd! Wat een mooie beelden, vooral laatste freeride session

That’s so cool to hear dude!🤘🏾
Dikke actie!! En wat een edit weer👌🏻
Ja edwin die weet wel hoe dat moet
Really cool video Stig! Loved it!! As a fellow kiter in this cold country you made me related to so many of these statement!
Super fun to ride in NL despite all the challenges.
Makes it feel a piece of cake when traveling to other more predictable destinations.
Thanks dude! Yes Holland is beautiful! And definitely a very sick place to kite! But you need to search for the good😁 makes you appreciate everything even more!
Brilliant vid. 🔥
Heel gaaf gedaan! En wat een kicke sport is het he 😀
Dankjewel!🍿🇳🇱
lekker bezig :)
Great video man! Much respect for the visuals! And thank you for giving us an honest idea of what it's like kiting in Holland.
Very professional production! Deserves way more views! 💥
I'm from The Netherlands and I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about
Mooie foilspot had je gevonden! 😉
Yeeeha🔥
🤘🏾
haha, best part were the bloopers! :P
but great job with such an amazing video. Where's the freeride spot?
Top film. Erg goed.
Sweet one dude! Love the vibe and Denmark is just as challenging so nice to hear it from a pro! :D
Yes the conditions are very similar I would say! I Love Denmark 🤘🏾💪🏾
🚀
🚀🚀
Man you are complaining about wind in holland?! Look at f***ing germany🤣 I always look on windy and you guys always have a few knots more😂 jokes aside- awesome film mate and incredible riding🤟🏼
😂🤣🤙🏼
Prachtige film, mooie shots, krijg meteen zin om te varen. Vraagje, welke spot is dat, waar je over die bomen springt?
Het heeft geen naam, maar ergens oost van Medemblik! Langs het IJsselmeer zijn heel veel van zulke spots 🤗
Maar je er mag kitesurfen in een tweede 😉
wait, isn't the season just all year round? or am I being to fanatical?
You are such a good rider, but you're every 5min complaining about how bad are the conditions in Holland. Its a bit depressing...
I think it’s a very honest story, not making it look amazing when it isn’t. And I really don’t wanna come forward like a spoiled kiter because I do really enjoy kiting in The Netherlands and it’s still one of my favourite kiting destinations. You just need to search for the goods😁 does make you appreciate kiting more when it’s shit every now and then, then when it’s perfect everyday that’s for sure!
Would you ever use an 11m² kite in 30 knots? (Little story time coming) I've been kiting for about a year and a bit, can't do powered loops just yet, and I went out on my 11 in 25 knots but it picked up to 34 knots and I was really wondering why I was having so much trouble keeping an edge. None the less I was having a good time jumping around and only found out after the session how strong it was. I suppose 34knots on an 11 is do able but I wouldn't say anyone would feel safe looping it in that.
No problems, you can loop it
Note to self, no kiting in Holland
I always liked your content here and aswell on insta. But i think this video sucks. Your riding is nice, cut is nice, but it feels like your only complaining about shit conditions in holland. Your a free man go kite somewhere else then. I dont understand the reason of this movie other than making kiting bad
The intention is to show the contrast between the perfect sunny places we usually see in videos and our beautiful raw and filthy North Sea 🤗
@@EdwinHaighton watched it now two full times. Still get the feeling of only a complaining rider. I get the idea. And i feel the same a lot of times as i also live in the area but somehow the nagatives overshoot the positive intention in this film i think. I think its because i look at the conditions out of a normal guy perspective. Not a professional 30m insane guy like stig. A little to much „bad“ sessions for me in that film.
@@29erNiedersachsen Ah yes, perspective is everything.
