Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book in advance at Daniel's & Gerhard's VDWS Kitesurfing Center, or can I arrange things at short notice via WhatsApp?
According to reviews, many bookings are handled flexibly via WhatsApp. Several guests mention that lessons and wind updates were arranged at short notice, even when they were still 50 minutes away. Because kitesurfing depends on wind, it is sensible to check first before travelling. That helps confirm whether a lesson or rental is possible.
Is the kitesurf school suitable for complete beginners, and how quickly can you get on the board?
Yes, reviews repeatedly describe Daniel's & Gerhard's VDWS Kitesurfing Center as suitable for complete beginners. A 10-hour beginner course is mentioned several times, and a 3-hour taster course is also noted. One guest said they tried riding on the board within 2 days, while another reached about 400 m parallel to the beach by the end of day 2.
Where exactly is the spot in Alcúdia, and what are the water conditions like?
The spot is in the Bay of Pollença near Alcúdia, and reviews also mention the sandy bay stretching from Alcúdia to Formentor. Guests describe the water as shallow for a long way out, with no rocks in the water. Several notes also refer to a protected area, which is useful for learning and practice.
What equipment is provided, and can I rent gear only?
Reviews say Daniel's & Gerhard's VDWS Kitesurfing Center provides equipment for different conditions, including a brand-new Eleweight kite and a Flysurfer board.

Payment by Revolut after returning the gear was also mentioned.
Which languages do the instructors speak?
Reviews mention German, English and Spanish as spoken languages. That is useful for guests from different countries, especially for lessons and wind updates via WhatsApp. If you prefer a specific language, it is worth asking before booking. That helps align communication for a planned 3-hour or 10-hour session.
How long do the courses last, and how is pricing calculated?
Reviews mention several formats: a 3-hour taster course, 4 hours of instruction for €100, and a 10-hour beginner course. One guest also reported around 9 hours of kitesurfing spread over several days. Pricing appears to depend on the course or the actual time used. It is best to confirm the exact structure in advance via WhatsApp or on site.
When are the best wind conditions, and does the centre update you in advance?
Several reviews mention the Bay of Pollença with steady thermal wind from May to the end of July. At the same time, guests note that wind can be weaker or less consistent outside the main season. According to reviews, the centre actively sends WhatsApp updates so people do not travel unnecessarily. One guest was updated in time while still 50 minutes away.
Is training or rental available for several days and in the off-season?
Yes, reviews mention multi-day sessions, including around 9 hours spread over several days. They also say the team uses a kitevan in the off-season to reach the best spots on the island. That suggests flexible planning depending on wind and season. For longer stays, it is worth arranging details via WhatsApp or the website.
