About this spot
Kitesurfing.by runs what it calls the first specialised kite spot in Belarus with a teaching boat, at the Na Volne spot of the Sailing Centre near Zarechye-1. Instructors teach from a RIB as a mobile safety base; a full course is typically about 9 hours.
Entry to the Sailing Centre costs 2 BYN; there is a café and outdoor pool. The station is open daily 10:00–21:00 in season. KITE.BY also teaches on the Minsk Sea.
Wind on Belarusian lakes is lighter and less frequent than on the coast — lessons are booked by forecast and may shift within the day.
