Where previously there was no possibility to set up a nice NK Big Air due to the Covid-19, we were looking forward to that in 2021. Unfortunately, the organization has not found a possibility to organize the kitesurfing competition. Nothing concrete is planned for 2022 either.
Open NK Kite Wave

Red Bull Megaloop - Kitesurf competitions
The wind window for the Red Bull Megaloop is open between April 1 and November 1. This kitesurfing event is held depending on the perfect conditions. The perfect conditions for the Red Bull Megaloop are of course 35+ knots of wind and a sea with beautiful waves to launch off for the coolest jumps. With the Red Bull King Of The Air 2021 still fresh in our minds we look forward to KOTA 2022 and the Red Bull Megaloop.
Angle to Clear - Kitesurf downwinder
Angle to Clear is a downwinder where more than 400 kite surfers from Hoek van Holland to Den Helder kite surf. Entirely devoted to the Heart Foundation. Hoek tot Helder saves human lives† In 2021 450 kitesurfers participated who together raised 602.665 Euro in sponsorship money for the Heart Foundation. What a wonderful achievement for participants, helpers and organization. We are looking forward to Hoek tot Helder 2022.
