Kite & Wake Camp

Why limit yourself to only one watersport? Combination camps of two and more watersports are our specialty at AWS. Go wakeboarding in the morning, no wind and the water is flat at Meia Praia. In the afternoon when the Nortada starts blowing we go kiting on the lagoon. Also the Kitepros of the PKRA enjoyed some time on our X-Star. Check out the clip on the right!

Accommodation

The Camp House Lagos is the perfect place for people who like to be in the water during the day and party at night. If you like watersports like kiteboarding, wakeboarding or windsurfing this is also the right accommodation for you. More details about the Camp House in Lagos...here.

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.
