What our students say..
I went with my brother to have our first kite lessons and I can just highly recommend this kite school. We had great kite instructors ( … )
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.
Super friendly staff and very skilled trainer. I did 5 kite sessions and in the end i could easily go upwind and any direction i wanted to. Super fun experience!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Due to the fact that the lagoon is tide dependent and the thermal wind builds up in the afternoon, the time window for good learning conditions is during the time we are teaching. Also, our experience has shown that 95% of our students are too tired after the intensive training to practice more afterward.
We are only renting equipment to experienced independent kiters due to safety reasons.
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.
Our kiteboarding instructors are licensed by the IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation). You can purchase a certification after the course to document your kitesurf level and be able to rent kiteboarding equipment from kite centers worldwide.
The “Nortada” wind is a thermal wind which builds up during the day and reaches its peak in the afternoon. The lagoon is tide dependent, offering the easiest conditions for learning at mid-tide. Of course, we aim to teach you during these perfect conditions. Our kitesurf lessons normally start between 14:00-16:00, depending on the best conditions. You will be effectively 3h in the water but the whole trip takes around 5h, with transfers to/from the lagoon (15 mins drive), setting up the kites, theory etc.
