Great kite school! I found out about the class trip to Hamata at Kite Village through an email. We were there last week (Oct. 8–15) and it was awesome.
Really nice people, very attentive. Everything was super well-organized, from the airport to our accommodations—Daniel even made a special trip to the Vienna airport to give us a welcome gift before our flight.
Our instructor for the whole week was Aurel; he really helped us a lot, and we learned so much.
Kiki and Günther at the kit station also took great care of us.
All in all, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I’ll definitely be going on this trip again!

Bernhard Jester

A very friendly and knowledgeable team! As kitesurfing beginners, we felt very well taken care of, learned a tremendous amount, and had a lot of fun! We'd definitely do it again anytime!

Julia Zwach

I highly recommend this kitesurfing school! Since this was my third kitesurfing school and I therefore have some experience to draw on, I can honestly say that I always felt well taken care of, supported, and, above all, safe! I also took advantage of the 1-on-1 instruction offered in a private session! I highly recommend that, too :)

As of September 17, 2022

Lukas M

A very nice and friendly team. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot, too. I thought it was a great achievement to be standing on the board and riding 4–5 meters after just 1 1/2 days.

Katharina Hilmar

My son and I took the introductory course, which included water training. We had great instructors, and everything was explained really well—even for kids! Of course, we had even more fun in the water than during the dry training. We’ll definitely be back! 👍

Andreas Rm

A good friend and I were able to take a two-day kiteboarding course at the school. On the first day, the program included theory and “dry land training.” Despite the extreme heat, it was fun, and the theory was explained very well and in detail. Especially with a sport that can be dangerous, you feel safe when you know exactly what to do in an emergency. On the second day, we were in the water. It’s too bad the lake is so low on water right now, but that’s not the school’s fault. Both Armin (Day 1) and Stefan (Day 2) are passionate instructors who do a great job. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Hannelore Persyn

I can really recommend kitesurfing.at!!! The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, yet everything is very professional and customer-oriented. The instructors are all highly trained, friendly, and patient. I really liked the course structure (X-Large Beginner Course) because everything was handled very flexibly—adapted to the wind conditions.
I’m still working hard at it and look forward to every session on the water!
This sport is definitely addictive :-)

Rene Krogger

Great organization,
A fantastic spot and wonderful people.
Highly recommended!

Sandra Rosenberger

I took the beginner's course. All the instructors were really nice!
Personally, I thought the dryland training with land kites was too long. I also think that flying on land feels completely different from flying with real kites in the water—it was a bit confusing for me. I would extend the time spent on the water.
The second day on the board was just awesome!

K E

Super flexible on-site support and organization, great service and equipment, and motivated instructors (I even got to enjoy an extra land training session because the wind wasn't ideal for the water :-) Thanks again for that!)

Timea Tüchler

Thank you so much for the fun and professional instruction—I felt very comfortable during the private lesson. I had a lesson in the morning, and when the wind died down, I was able to continue the lesson that same afternoon thanks to the wind guarantee. Everything was very straightforward, and everyone was so friendly. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll definitely recommend kitesurfing.at to others!

David Watzl

I took the beginner's course. The weather wasn't great (not enough wind), but that's not the school's fault.
Overall, I felt the focus was too much on theory and dryland training and not enough on actually being in the water and learning to kite...
When we finally got the chance to actually stand on the board toward the end of the beginner’s course, it was of course a ton of fun, but for me, that part of the course could have started much earlier. ;) The instructors were all very nice!

Sybille Berndt

Really nice and laid-back people. I learned the essentials and had fun doing it. The spot is big and offers plenty of space to relax before or after kiting and when the wind dies down.

Lisa B

Great kitesurfing school with super friendly and patient coaches who really cater to your individual needs (thanks, Armin!!!). They make it easy for you right from the start, both when planning the sessions and out on the water. I'll definitely be back!

Paul N.

This is my third time here, and every time I've been thrilled by the kitesurfing and the whole team. Great organization, absolutely professional kitesurfing instructors, and a very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it for learning to kitesurf on Lake Neusiedl!

FRO MEDIA

The kitesurfing school in Podersdorf is fantastic. Here, you can balance work and play.
A great atmosphere and a fantastic team await you.

Cedric Scherrer

Very nice, easygoing people—you quickly feel at home

M H

I booked a 3-hour private lesson to brush up on my kitesurfing skills.
The kitesurfing school is very well organized and the instructors are nice.
Last weekend the wind was good, but it was also pretty cold.
So it was really nice that there was a small shop on site where you could buy gloves, shoes, and a beanie.
The terrace is also nice; you could sit there after the lesson, sip a Capo, and watch the kiters.
All in all 👍

One-on-one training on October 13, 2021—
. Everything went perfectly, except for a little too much wind 😆 Thanks for the training!

Ivo

I took a beginner's course and am very satisfied—the staff is friendly and the support is generally good. The online booking system is also quite convenient.
It's worth noting that you have to pay an additional entrance fee for Nordstrand every time you visit.
I'll definitely be back!

Erwin Resch

Full stars! Even though it was a busy event and the staff were stressed, they took the time to help me unpack, explain, and assemble everything I bought! The order was exactly as described in the store. Where can you find service like that these days? The advice was great! Thank you so much—I’ll definitely be back. Keep up the great work!!!!

Claire

I'm satisfied—the team is very dedicated, and when it comes to training, I feel like I'm in good hands. You can tell that the coaches really know what they're doing and are able to clearly explain my mistakes and answer my questions. So I can definitely recommend this school!

Daniel Rothkappel

A very friendly, professional kitesurfing school with excellent materials—I'm looking forward to my kitesurfing course

Peter Eschner

Although it took us many attempts to find reasonably good wind and weather conditions for the individual training sessions, the mood was always great, and everyone was “on the lookout” for the next opportunity for wind. Nice team, and the beer at the bar is great, too!

Teresa Fasch

Great kiteboarding school with a professional team!
They really catered to my individual needs 👍

Thomas Bäuml

Very knowledgeable instructors who teach you how to kite really well and safely; they're very friendly—exactly what you'd hope for.

Alexander Raab

I took an XL course at the end of May,
The temperatures and wind were challenging for everyone.
The training sessions were perfectly adapted to the current conditions.
Very friendly team and good equipment.
The instructors were patient and professional.
Great boat taxi service!
I’ll be back.

I took the XL course at Kitesurfing.at last week and was absolutely thrilled.
The whole team is super friendly, professional, and helps you with whatever you need. They really take their time and were extremely accommodating with me, for example, when it came to rescheduling. The whole atmosphere—and the other participants—were super laid-back. And of course, we couldn’t miss out on an “after-work beer” at the beach bar after the sessions. The equipment and the entire facility are also very well-maintained and high-quality.
My instructor on the water was truly TOP-NOTCH and taught me how to handle the kite and the board in a way that was super easy to understand.
After my first few meters on the water, I really got hooked on this sport and definitely want to keep going and come back.

So I can truly recommend this school to ANYONE who’s thinking about starting kitesurfing.

I’m already looking forward to the next session!!

Chic

It was an awesome session. Great wind, great service, and good conversations. See you again.

Katharina Oesterreicher-Frohn

My trainer Alex's professionalism and calm demeanor were truly outstanding.

Martin Braches

A really nice team and very knowledgeable instructors—I'll definitely be back.

I rented kitesurfing gear as part of the so-called “flat rate” plan. The selection of gear is huge—everything is brand new and top quality. Even on very busy days (summer, weekends, holidays), they always had the right gear in stock. The location is great, and the station has a really laid-back vibe. But the best part is definitely the staff. They’re very knowledgeable, always friendly, funny, and easygoing. It makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely be signing up for the flat rate again next year!

Peter Scheiber

Top-notch in every way! ... cool location, super friendly staff, high quality ... the only downside: I live too far away and don't get to go there often enough ;)

Ines Grießner

I had a great private training session with a very nice and patient trainer. By the end, it finally clicked for me, too—thanks, Alex! :) I'd love to do it again!

xAnnie007x .

Great kite school with super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable instructors! They have a wide selection of equipment, and thanks to the additional wind guarantee they promised, I'm completely satisfied.
I'd love to come back :)

Elisabeth Lenz

Booked a day course as a family—great theory and practical instruction for adults and kids. The dry land session—just with the paraglider—was excellent and informative, letting you gain experience steering and controlling the paraglider on your own. The water session was then fun and challenging. A varied and fun day for everyone :)

Thomas

Great kitesurfing course from Kitesurfing.at in Hamata with Patrick and Günther. Very clear and easy-to-understand explanations, great progress, and a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Peter Springer

Great kitesurfing school. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. If there’s no wind, they’ll credit you for the missed lessons (I had two days with ZERO wind). The theory is explained well. The price-to-performance ratio is okay. I’ll definitely be back. A little tip: Check the weather and wind conditions in advance.
