Kiteboard Camp
Last year we opened our new kiteboarding camp. Compared to our Surf Camp on the west coast this is more appropriat if you are looking for an inexpensive, hostel style place to stay, which is close to the kitespots and has great nightlife. If you like to go surfing as well... we reach many surfspots on the south and west coast within a 20 minute drive! For wakeboarding... to the marina it is a 7 minute walk!
Kite House
Our kite house is located in a quiet town area of beautiful Lagos. The beach is only 7 minutes by foot, the kite lagoon only 10 by car or bike (we rent bikes with a boardrack). The house has five double or dorm-bedrooms and a cosy lounge with wifi-internet, cable TV and a multimedia computer system. You can fix your own meals in the well equipped kitchen, fire up the BBQ in the patio or hang out in the hammocks. If you rather eat out you will find a great variety of inexpensive restaurants and snackbars in the center of town only a three minute walk from the kitehouse. Lagos is party capital of the Algarve, the young and crazy scene comes from all over the world. Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians and Euros party until dawn.
Kite Spots
Our kite school spot is a big lagoon very close to Lagos. Depending on the tides the water is between knee and shoulder deep making it easy to learn the basics of kiteboarding. The “Nortada” the Portuguese north wind gets accelerated by the surrounding landscape which allows wind speed up to 20 knots while other parts of the Algarve are calm. This is the reason the PKRA (the Kiteboarding Pro Tour) stops here once per year. We take our clients by boat to an island in the middle of the lagoon. This place offers steady wind and lots of room for maximum safety and perfect learning conditions. Beginners to pros love the flat, warm water around the island. Pictures from the lagoon...
Kiteboarding Lessons
Our students and camp participants are coached by multilingual, certified and well-trained IKO and VDWS-Instructors. Our unique, up-to-date teaching methods are supported by waterproof walkie-talkies, boat assistance and teaching with video camera. Naturaly modern kiteboarding equipment from our partners: Cabrinha, Best kiteboarding and pro-limit is included for the duration of the course. Our students are taught in small groups never bigger than 4 students per teacher. At the end of the theoretic and practical part of the course we offer a certification by IKO or VDWS-Standard allowing to rent equipment at kite stations world wide. For advanced kiteboarders with own equipment we offer a rescue and shuttle service on the kite lagoon.
