As the more ‘jacked’ cousin of surfing, kitesurfing is grossly understated, and is even less frequented, by people who typically get their adrenalin fix hitting the waves. Well, being wave-loving folk ourselves, we feel it’s our responsibility to enlighten you good people of the sea how much kitesurfing fun you’re potentially missing out on, and the best places here in paradise isle to go get some!

Surfboard + Kite = 2 X Adventure!

Surfing, is a rush on its own. Now, pair up a freaking kite to the equation, and the ride (we can attest to you) is nothing short of heck of a good time!

Even though the sport delivers a full-body workout and requires some level of movement-coordination skill, kitesurfing is for EVERYONE! With the right aquatic and wind conditions, any large body of water is a potential playground where the possibilities range from easy gliding to fast streaking, and launching 25 meters up in to the wind!!!
