Alvor Lagoon

The strong Nortada wind in the summer and the big alvor lagoon with waist deep water offer ideal conditions to learn and practice kitesurfing in the Algarve.
In the past the PKRA Kiteboarding World Tour was held here in Alvor and recently it was stated again by world sailor Alex Thomson – Alvor is one of the best kiteboarding spots in the world.

Meia Praia

Perfect for the trial lesson the meia preia is huge long beach that offers great conditions to fly the powerkites on land and try out first body drags in the shallow water. The offshore wind makes this spot only suitable for beginners or very advanced kiters. Intermediates should stay inside a safe lagoon.

Wave Spots

When we have southwest or southeast winds Meia Praia gets hit by some swell and great waves. For experienced kiters there is also some biggers swells to be found on the westcoast, with the amazing wave kiting spots (Bordeira, Carapateira and Milfontes). All of these have huge open sand beaches for kilometers and always waves waiting for you. But we made the experience that mainly due to thermic conditions in this spots the wind works better in the spring and autumn then during summer.

We teach with up to date high quality equipment which is appropriate for your level. Our material pool consists of latest 2016 North kiteboarding Kites and boards. The wetsuits we use are ION Strike and Jewel. We work with Neo, Dice and EVO and Vegas for the advanced Kiters. ION harnesses are also sufficiently available.
