Cornwall
Cornwall is a very underrated spot for Kitesurfing; we have a reliable prevailing south-westerly and blue Atlantic waters that meet 400 miles of coastline. Given the shape of Cornwall, it gives us many options and variety, and you’ll rarely find more than a handful of kites out at any given time. Beyond Kitesurfing Cornwall is the most southern point of...
Southend On Sea
When thinking of ideal kiting locations, turquoise water, sunshine and consistent winds spring to mind and Great Britain can deliver these despite its poor reputation. Southend On Sea is just a 40-minute train ride from London and offers some of the best flat water spots, with spacious lagoons and flat butter water! There is also an awesome kite community with...
The Isle of Thanet
I believe the Isle of Thanet to be quite a unique destination when it comes to kiting on the mainland of the UK. Once described as a boil on the butt cheek of Britain, I now like to refer to it as more of a beauty spot lovingly! As kitesurfers, we are undoubtedly spoilt; never being more than a 10-minute...

El Gouna
El Gouna is a small town by the Red Sea that was established in 1989. EL Gouna originally started with a couple of hotels, and not much to do. I remember I used to dread going there as a kid! Over the past decade, El Gouna has thrived into one of the cosiest and most humble towns you will ever...
Fortaleza
Visit Brazil if you’re crazy about kitesurfing and can't get enough. Brazil offers a great and diverse selection of spots and consistent winds. In the small villages, you will find only fishermen and kitesurfers, so it’s easy to say that “eat, sleep, kite repeat” applies pretty well for a Brazilian kitesurfing holiday.
