Set in the middle of the Baltic Sea, sunny Fehmarn offers some fantastic kite spots. It’s the perfect place for anyone who wants to learn kitesurfing or try new things in prime conditions.
Whether large flatwater areas for beginners and freestylers or Baltic wave spots for advanced riders. Best of all: as an island, Fehmarn has a spot for every wind direction and is always kiteable. No wonder the Core Kiteboarding headquarters is here.
Winds are steady and great for practice. The island is well worth a trip and, with lovely places to stay, perfect for a van weekend packed with kiting.

"Kiting on Fehmarn is special because it’s an island. Whatever the wind direction, you’ll always find the best spot. Lemkenhafen is perfect to learn and progress (huge shallow area, steady wind). With us you get the best gear and a super-motivated Primesurf coaching team."
Kitespot & kiteschool
Fehmarn lies far north in the Baltic Sea and is easy to reach.
The main spot is Lemkenhafen, in the southwest of the sunny island. A huge flatwater area works best in westerly and southerly winds and offers ideal lesson conditions. Perfect for anyone wanting to learn kitesurfing on Fehmarn.
The beauty of an island: you can kite in any wind direction! North, east, south, or west—we’ll get you to Fehmarn’s best spots. Prefer some waves over flatwater? With proper wind we’ll hunt the best lines in Westermarkelsdorf, Altenteil, or Grüner Brink.

- Large shallow areas with smooth water
- Baltic Sea waves in good wind
- Consistent wind conditions
- Kiteable in any wind direction

Fehmarn is Germany’s third-largest island and, thanks to wonderful beaches and landscapes, a favorite beyond watersports. The sunny island charms with small towns, villages, and loads of character.
Our kite courses and lessons start right from the waterside Primesurf Kitehouse Fehmarn. The freshly renovated, spacious house offers plenty of room and sits directly at the spot. From here we launch our kite lessons on the water with you! On Fehmarn we truly live our motto “from bed to board,” as the Beach House is only 100 meters from the water! Check wind and water from the window. Together we’ll enjoy great days, fun evenings, and successful kite sessions.
The Kitehouse has a large, fully equipped kitchen-living room and an extra drinks fridge for cold refreshments on warm days! Stay totally flexible and eat what you want, when you want. The nearest supermarket is in Petersdorf, about five minutes by car.
Evenings we’ll often cook together or fire up the BBQ. Of course, that’s an option, not a must.
SUP TOUR / STAND UP PADDLE
Our SUPs are included with your stay!
Fehmarn has many beautiful corners to reach and explore from the water. A spin on the SUP also boosts your balance and gets you fit for your next kite session.
