We are a well-known kitesurf school in Workum, offering high-quality and, above all, fun kitesurf lessons, windsurf lessons, and wingsurf lessons for all ages and skill levels.

The shallow and flat water at the IJsselmeer beach makes Workum one of the best kitesurf and watersports locations in Friesland and the Netherlands. From April to November, Sky High is the central meeting point for watersports in Workum, where beginners and advanced riders start or improve their kitesurfing, wingsurfing, foiling, and windsurfing skills.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer looking to progress, our certified instructors adapt every lesson to your level. In addition to kitesurfing and windsurfing, we also offer wingsurf and foil lessons, a rapidly growing watersport that provides a unique feeling of freedom on the water. These lessons are available in Workum as well as at multiple locations across Friesland.
