Kiting at Lake Neusiedl – Learn Kitesurfing in Austria
What is kitesurfing?
Kitesurfing is a fascinating extreme sport with an exhilarating dynamic, harnessing the forces of nature. Compared to windsurfing, in kitesurfing you hold a steerable kite instead of a sail – on a much shorter board, steered via a bar. With a little practice and skill, jumps lasting several seconds and reaching four to five metres are no rarity. Pure adrenaline!!!
What do I need to go kitesurfing?
To start you just need a kite matched to your ability, body weight and the wind at Lake Neusiedl, plus a bar with lines, a board (size varies with wind and skill), a harness and a wetsuit. The big advantage over windsurfing: kitesurf equipment weighs far less and packs down much smaller.
How can I learn to kitesurf?
To learn kitesurfing at Lake Neusiedl or any other lake or sea, attending a kite school is strongly recommended. You’ll be introduced to the sport step by step: first steering the kite on land, then out onto the water once the basics are solid. You’ll feel the kite’s full power and get pulled across the surface before progressing to water-starts with the board – and maybe your first ridden metres at Lake Neusiedl.
Why should I attend a kite school and learn to kite at Lake Neusiedl?
Kitesurfing is dangerous if you try to teach yourself – even at Lake Neusiedl. A kite school teaches you quickly how to handle kites safely and prepares you for critical situations. Attending a kite school significantly reduces the risk of injury and gives you the solid knowledge you need to progress at Lake Neusiedl and beyond.
Do I need any prerequisites to learn kitesurfing?
No prior knowledge is needed to learn kitesurfing at Lake Neusiedl or elsewhere. Our kite school offers beginner-specific courses to get you kiting in Austria quickly. You’re introduced to the sport systematically, step by step – and even complete beginners can see their first results within 2 to 3 days.
Where is the best place to learn kitesurfing?
Kitesurfing is easy and safe to learn in shallow, standing-depth water. Lake Neusiedl offers optimal beginner conditions – a standing area throughout and consistent winds make it one of the best learning spots in the world.
We would encourage you once more to attend a kite school before heading out. An experienced instructor team, beginner-friendly equipment and an ideal learning spot provide the foundation for a safe and fun start in kitesurfing.
