It is not as easy as you may think to find a perfect kitesurfing location. However, the popularity of the sport is growing so new wonderful destinations are discovered on a constant basis. While many options are still not discovered, let us focus on the best kitesurfing and kiteboarding spots that you do want to try. All the beaches will offer great winds and water that is perfect for riding.
Tarifa – Spain
When focused on Europe, Tarifa is often mentioned as being the very best kitesurfing destination that the continent has to offer. Winds appear 300 days per year and the number of great beaches available is much higher than what many believe at first glance. You will want to experience the wind tunnel that appears at Strait Of Gibraltar but do get ready to be faced with a crowd as the region is really popular, not only among kitesurfers.
Taveuni Island – Fiji
Taveuni is definitely a location that is simply perfect for kitesurfing since the winds are consistent and funneled between various islands round it. The famous reef present creates a great shallow flat water expansion that allows you to have perfect conditions for the sport as a beginner. If you are more experienced, you can go past the reef. The ride would be much more difficult and you can go towards islands that are uninhabited for an extra great adrenaline rush.
Cumbuco – Brazil
One thing that many do not know is that Cumbuco is actually a preferred kitesurfing training location for the professionals. This is a clear sign that the conditions are great. We have a beach that covers 6 kilometers and that offers so much space to enjoy the consistent and quite strong winds available, together with the small breaking waves and the flat lagoon. Lessons and rentals are available here so you do not even have to take your equipment with you when you travel. Although the village is quite small, the options available for tourists are quite remarkable.
La Ventana – Baja California
La Ventana is a beautiful town that is often considered as being the very best kiteboarding location in the entire world. The water is warm for many months and winter breakers do want to come here because of that, combined with the really great wind. Beginners and experts will find wonderful conditions and you will surely appreciate the extra activities that are available like fishing, diving, kayaking, snorkeling and a variety of other watersports.
Cabarete – Dominican Republic
Those that look for the best kitesurfing locations in the world really need to consider a trip to Cabarete. We have a beach that is protected by reefs so waters will always be smooth, with breaking waves present a little on the outside. The beach will be perfect for advanced riders and beginners with La Policia Beach being more difficult and normally getting considered only by the professionals. Although winds will always be strong, the best time to visit is from Summer to early Fall.
