KiteFORT Świnoujście

KiteFORT is a kitesurf base right on the beach at Świnoujście, next to the Radisson Blu hotel, on Poland's western coast. The school describes itself as the first permanent training base on the beach in West Pomerania. The spot has a wide beach and, near the windmill, a large flat shallow area suited to beginners; further west a swell builds for wave riders.

Kitesurfing lessons, given by PZKite-licensed instructors, follow the PZKite levels and the IKO Discovery programme, with radio helmets and equipment included. The base also offers wingfoil lessons, with motorboat support depending on conditions, windsurfing and stand-up paddle lessons, and activities for children. The school refunds the unused part of a course if there is no wind.

KiteFORT distributes and lets customers test Nobile boards and Ozone kites, sells O'Neill wetsuits and Underwave clothing, and rents paddle boards, skimboards, wetsuits, harnesses, vests and helmets.
