Our Algarve kitesurf lessons are suitable for everyone from complete beginners to intermediate kite surfers.
You will learn to kitesurf in the clean warm water estuary of Alvor, just a few minutes from the popular seaside town of Lagos. Separated by sand dunes from the Atlantic Ocean the estuary is one of the Algarve’s top kitesurfing locations and each year professional kitesurfers come here to compete during their world tour.
As well as being a fantastic, safe place to learn, it is also a beautiful place to unwind. More experienced kitesurfers can also try their hand at surfing in the ocean waves. Please contact us for more information on kitesurfing or learning to kitesurf in the Algarve
