Giving back

Some kids never get to play sport. We're changing that.

Every booking is more than a step forward for you. It's a step forward for a kid who never gets to feel what we feel out on the water. That's why we donate €2,50 from every booking to a local sport charity that helps kids into sport, with a new charity every season.

A local sport charity at every spot we ride:

A new charity every season. The commitment stays.

FAQ

Good questions

Yes — SportsFINDR connects you with a coach, not gear rental. Bring your own kite and board unless the instructor's profile says otherwise.

If the wind doesn't cooperate, the instructor will contact you to reschedule or cancel the lesson for a full refund. You'll never pay for a session that didn't happen.

No, not specifically. Every instructor has their own experience and / or certifications. You can check the instructor's profile before booking.

You pay securely at booking. The instructor receives the payout after the lesson, and we handle the admin so you don't have to.

No, not for now. We focus on 1:1 lessons to make the most progression.

About us

How it started

This photo? That's the exact evening it clicked.

Two friends on the beach, and one of those conversations that starts as a rant and ends as a plan. It began with a simple frustration — actually, with two.

Jelle, an experienced kitesurfer, was constantly asked to keep an eye on others out on the water. Mieke, on the other hand, was looking for exactly that — someone to coach her through a session, every now and then.

Not a full course. Not a kite school. Just a skilled coach for a focused session — someone who helps you move forward with intention.

Yet finding that kind of coach proved surprisingly hard. In a world where you can book a stay, arrange a ride, or reserve a table in under a minute, there's still no seamless way to find the right sports coach.

So that evening, thumbs up and grinning ear to ear, we decided to build one. A platform where athletes and coaches connect effortlessly. No friction. No noise. Just the right match, at exactly the right moment.
