About Our Philosophy, Teaching & Lessons
Looking for an exciting challenge during your vacation or free time?
Join us for an unforgettable kitesurfing experience in Northern Norway — combining adventure, progression, and the raw power of nature.
At VOV Tjøtta we offer lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced riders under the guidance of VDWS-certified instructors with many years of international teaching experience.
Our teaching philosophy focuses on safe, structured, and efficient progression while keeping every session fun, motivating, and adapted to your individual level.
Using proven step-by-step training methods and the latest equipment, we help you learn kitesurfing quickly and safely — or improve your existing skills at the best kite spots around Alstahaug and Herøy, always depending on wind and weather conditions.
We work exclusively with modern and up-to-date equipment to ensure maximum safety, comfort, and progression.
The wind table is an important tool for kitesurfers, providing an overview of different wind conditions and their suitable riding ranges!
😀 A wind range of 5–8 m/s (10–16 knots) is considered ideal for beginners and lesson sessions, as there is enough power in the kite while still remaining manageable and safe.
😀 Most kitesurfers prefer conditions between 7–12 m/s (14–23 knots). This range offers perfect conditions for comfortable freeriding and steady
We believe that every rider progresses differently.
Therefore, our lessons are individually adapted to your skills, confidence, and learning pace to ensure the best possible progression and experience on the water. Experience has shown that the average learning speed is two to three days, three hours each day!
