Where to Go Kitesurfing in January?

All months
Start the year the way you mean to go on, with a fantastic kite trip to create memories that will last forever! It’s a great way to shake off those winter blues if you live in the Northern Hemisphere too!

The Caribbean is usually on fire in January, regular trade winds mean places like Union Island and Aruba are almost guaranteed wind. Don’t overlook places like Barbados and Antigua, which both boast over 80% windy days in January. Sri Lanka and the Philippines are working too, Kalpitiya and Cuyo Island are worth consideration with exceedingly consistent winds. Head to Cape Verde for waves, Sal, Boa Vista and Sao Vicente will all be delivering the goods, and of course, Western Australia is still on fire at this time of year for wind. Lancelin, Geraldton and Margaret River will all have great waves too!

It’s tough to make a decision, as humans we are pre-programmed not to be good at it, that’s why we have made this one easy. Use our incredible filters to choose from using the wind, waves, flat water, water temperature, nightlife and even the standard of the Internet and make the right choice for your next kite trip!
