The Team at Kite Lounge is always full of fun and assistance. It doesn’t matter if the wind takes a break. They’ll still hang out doing fun and crazy things to fill the days in the Caribbean paradise.
When the wind kicks in, the beach is busy with lessons on how to manage this incredible sport. If you already know how to stay on the board with the kite in the air, these guys can easily teach tricks or waveriding on an advanced level as well.

So, who are they..? Check out some details about the people in the Kite Lounge staff

The School Manager Sven:
Sven Vandierendonck is the Belgian guy with a name we can not pronounce. Sven is as nice as they come. He knows exactly what to do in any situation, it doesn’t matter what the question or the problem is. You either find Sven behind his desk in the school or you find him rippin some waves on the reef or flying high across the bay. Sven speaks a whole lot of languages and can communicate with more or less anyone. Dutch, English, Spanish, French plus plus… And he’s been in the DR for more than 4 years and can help out with practical tips if needed too.

Beach House Manager and Instructor Vlad
Rock n’ Roll, kiting, internet and Megadeth. Oh yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Vlad Heger is the Czech-Canadian who decided the Caribbean is a better place than Canada for living. It’s not easy to keep up with this guy’s projects, but give it a go. When he’s not managing the house or building the Kite Lounge website, he’s for sure building another website. Ask him for some links, we’ll assure you that it’s pretty cool what he does. What about 4.20… He’ll teach you a thing or two about that concept. His newfound dog Mega seems to be his big pride these days, and turning an over-energetic beach dog into a guarding house dog is obviously another one of his skills. In Werner’s company Vlad is rocking the VW Snack Shack bar at the Kite Lounge Beach House. We’ll give you a hint or three about the Snack Shack… Cuba, Santo or Rum Punch.

Instructor and Party Manager Werner
Werner Hilberink is dutch, and the man of many talents at Kite Lounge. Not only is he a more than qualified DJ, a successful promoter, bean bag creator, a skilled and experienced party organizer, but also a popular instructor and “fix-it” man at the Kite Lounge. As often as he can, Werner hits the reef with his beloved Liquid Force gear. If you get to hang out with Werner on the beach, taking lessons or not, you’ll get to know his all white angel, Ice. Ice is the German Shepherd spinning around on the beach looking for house manager Vlad’s dog, Megadeth. Werner and Ice will make you laugh while learning how to kite. Werner is in charge of the party management at the beach house, so hold on for daytime kiting and nighttime partying.
