Activity description

Learn to kite surf in Lagos and enjoy the breathtaking scenery while learning how to control the kite, use the wind to control your speed and direction, and navigate with the board on your feet. Kite surfing is a beach sport that involves splashing water and sun on your face. In three hours, you'll get a firsthand taste of the thrill, and in three days, you'll be able to ride the waves with finesse. This course is designed to help you become an independent kite surfer in three days!

Your kite surfing adventure begins with the thrilling "body drag," in which you are harnessed to the kite's momentum and skim across the water's surface. This enthralling experience frequently leaves participants wanting more. The next step is to strap on a surfboard, giving you the ability to navigate the waves at your leisure.

This are the spots where you can choose to do the activity: (the instructor will recommend one or another depending on the wind conditions and your skills)

Alvor Lagoon
This haven for kite surfers boasts strong Nortada winds during the summer months. The expansive Alvor lagoon, with its waist-deep waters, provides the perfect setting for learning and mastering the art of kite surfing in the Algarve.

Meia Praia
