Spots where I'm teaching
Lynæs is one of the most suitable and one of the most popular kite-surfing spots for beginners in northern Sjælland. Nearly all wind directions are suitable for lessons and kite-surfing. Beautiful settings and plenty of space for kite launch, shallow water (up to 1m) in 800m radius. During summer season water heats up to 20 degrees, providing pleasant time in water for freshmen. It is a great spot to make first steps in kite-surfing. For convenience of thirsty, hungry and tired students there are plenty of restaurants and cafes in Lynæs harbor next door to the spot.

Sylten spot
Sylten is located close to Kastrup airport, with the great view to the Oresund bridge. The spot is surrounded by wild meadow and is perfect for lessons on shore. It is a shallow spot with little sandbank 300m ashore that allow to safely practice water exercises. Sylten spot provides free parking lot and a cafe for excited and exhausted students.

My Highlights
Few school facts
1. Lesons with one of the best Cabrinha Switchblade kites
For me as a kite-surfing instructor, safety, security and comfort of students are the key aspects in teaching & learning process. Therefore in my school students are taught with Cabrinha Switchblade kites. Cabrinha Switchblade continues the legacy of simple and easy-to-use kites and is one of the most popular kite brands on earth. Cabrinha Switchblade kites are no-nonsense kites with uncompromising high-end performance in all aspects, they ‘forgive beginner mistakes’ and allows enjoying the ride at any time. The Switchblade offers a very smooth power delivery, easy re-launch and stable flight. From wave-riding, freestyle/wake-style, freeriding, and even a beginner kite, the Switchblade is capable of pushing everyone to the next level.
2. Max 1-2 person at the time
Quality is always above the quantity, therefore learning sessions are always carried out in small groups of max 2 students at a time. Such model of learning, when students constantly change each other in practicing different elements, allows to take a step aside, relax a bit and analyze situations in such way learning from ones own and partners’ mistakes. My observations and advises provided during such small breaks will allow you to progress faster and begin to ride on your own.
3. Why should you choose this school?
My mission is to prepare people for safe and independent kite-surfing. In order to make people happy and responsible kite-surfers I myself improve every day both as a rider and as an instructor by participating in various kite-surfing events, competitions and qualifying seminars around the world. My knowledge and my passion for kite-surfing will allow you to get an easy start and quickly improve your knowledge and technique. If you are searching for high quality kite-surfing lessons where student’s needs are always top priority, where training plan is individually adapted to each student – DM kite-surfing school is definitely your choice!
