Traveling to these areas in May. Would love to get a chance to kite. Any suggestions for beaches and places where I can rent gear would be appreciated.

Renting gear in the Netherlands isn't that easy. I can't think of any place close to Amsterdam that rents kites. You might try to contact a kiteschool near Amsterdam for that.
Ijmuiden, wijk aan zee, Bloemendaal l, zandvoort are beaches that are know for there kitesurfing.
If you have more questions don't hesistate to ask them. I live in Amsterdam

You could try to rent in Germany. Many Shops will send you the Gear or you can pick it up. Dont know if they send it to hotels/hostels tho.
Just google for Kiteverleih and shoot them a message!
Other spots are Maasvlakte, Ijsselmeer (Hindeloopen, Workum,..)
Right now you can kite almost on every beach.

German coast North Sea, spots where I believe you can rent: Norddeich, Neuharlingersiel, Cuxhaven, Büsum, St. Peter Ording, island of Sylt (the most scenic and beautiful of it all, but also the most remote)
Baltic Sea: Pelzerhaken, Kiel, island of Fehmarn.
I believe you will need a certificate in most cases.

I live in southern Sweden.
Check out Splocs kite spots. You'll need a car, head up the coast, there's tons of spots. Bring a 4-6mm wetsuit, booties and probably hood and 2mm gloves. Water will be cold. Air can still be 10c.
I'd bring my own gear. Winds are 100% frontal, so it can be from 12-30 knots.

Scheveningen in the Netherlands and the beach of Brugge in Belgium , especially Oostend (easy car ride from the Netherlands + you get to see Brugge, the most beautiful city in the world) - nice!

From Amsterdam, the beach to go to in SW to WSW is Wijk aan Zee. In NNW to NW, it's ijmuiden. Southerly? Ijmuidenslag. Renting gear is impossible, as far as I know.

So I've landed near Greisfwald Germany on the Baltic sea. I've tried to contact some local company's with no luck is there anybody out there with some recommendations? Hope to get on the water tomorrow or Monday. Any local Deutsche please drop me a line asap.
