DeafVentures offers you kitesurfing courses that are adapted to your needs. The team includes two deaf kitesurfing instructors, a sign language interpreter and a hearing kitesurfing instructor who also diligently learns DGS!
DeafVentures is Germany's first kitesurfing school to offer courses in sign language.
Since 2018, the two founders Marie Kohlen (sign language interpreter) and Pia Boni (VDWS kitesurfing instructor) have been running their courses for the deaf on the island of Ummanz in the west of Rügen. In 2019, together with the VDWS, the two have trained two native DGS speakers as kitesurfing instructors, who now also teach the art of kitesurfing in sign language on Ummanz.
The five-day courses always include SUP polo, a pizza evening in the Tiki Bar of the UMMAII Surfhostel and, most recently, trying out with the Wing in addition to the theory and practical units around kiting.
