What our students say..

I´ve learned a lot about Kitesurfing. The lagoon is the perfect place to start kiting and we were lucky that we had a lot of windy days there. Our kite instructor Leo was a good teacher. He gave us good tips how to start with kiting but also how to improve our kiteskills after a few days so that we can go kiting with our own stuff now.

Marcus, Kite student

We decided to try kite surfing and were both able to ride pretty well just by the fourth course. We are definitely going back – the overall experience was the best vacation i have ever taken

Wesley, Kite student

I had a great time improving my kiting skills at this school!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

It typically takes around 6 to 9 hours to grasp the fundamentals of kitesurfing. Consequently, within a span of two to three days, one can acquire the skills to safely control the kite, know safety systems, and understand the fundamentals of body dragging and starting with the board. The majority of our students try their first time riding the board on the second or third day, previously learning all necessary steps like: set up, kite control, body dragging, and body dragging with the board.

We are the official VDWS-licensed kiteboarding center. You can purchase a certification after the course to document your kitesurf level and be able to rent kiteboarding equipment from kite centers worldwide. If you would like to request an IKO certification – please speak with our head instructor :)

You only have to bring a swimming suit or board shorts, a towel, sunscreen (zinc), water, and a good mood for our kitesurfing lessons. We provide all the necessary equipment for the lesson, from a wetsuit, kitesurfing harness ( seat or waist), and kite equipment. We do not recommend taking personal belongings except the phone. For the sunscreen option, we recommend buying zinc, as regular sunscreen will wash off with the water pretty fast.

We are always offering different level Kitesurf lessons. Our clients will be divided into groups according to kiteboarding level. Please let us know your level when you book. Please assess yourself honestly since, only then, we can promise the best learning results.

Best is to meet us at our base in Algarve Watersport in lagos when you can finalize all the formalities and get your necessary equipment – wetsuit and harness. After meeting us in our base you can join our transfer or take your own car to follow us to the spot. 
After 1st day you can meet us directly at the spot if you would prefer.
