EnglishKiting in January - The best kitespots in January
No desire for cold, grey January days? Then head for the sun and recharge for the new year while kitesurfing at one of our dream spots. How about a huge flatwater lagoon in Sri Lanka, “from bed to board” in Panama, or under palm trees in Kenya? For all wave lovers—and those who want to be—we recommend Sal in Cape Verde. In Brazil you can, among other things, admire the dreamy beaches from the water on a downwinder—the perfect start to the new year!
