Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Kitesurfing only in the launch zones: 245 m east of Beach Club Blankenberge or 150 m west of the Pier. Wing zone not designated, check with the club. Source: MDK launch-zone plan.
The open water at Blankenberge faces NNW (343°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast and south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
