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 200 m launch zone at the Dumontlaan, next to the De Panne border. Wing zone not designated, check with the club. Source: MDK launch-zone plan.
The open water at Koksijde (Sint-Idesbald) faces NNW (328°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, south and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
