KosGreeceEurope
Foiling SUP VWDS
It only takes a day or two before you feel like you already know the friendly and hospitable people of Kos. The little fishing village of Mastichari is home to our kite spot and has a real local feel away from the mass tourism prevalent in other parts of the island. Kos is one of the only Greek islands where the conditions are great for both beginners as well as advanced kiters. Our VDWS licensed school sits on a wide sandy beach operated by Stefan, originally from Austria, who has spent his lifetime on the water. His team have developed their lesson structure to ensure a high level of safety with a maximum of two students per instructor. Using a unique coaching system via boat, they offer fast progression on the water as well as a lot of fun. Our Kite House is conveniently located just a few minutes from the kite spot and town so you can easily walk everywhere. The house has 8 separate studios, each with its own balcony giving you your own private space. Group bonding starts over breakfast in the Aplo restaurant before heading to the beach for a day of kiting, and often ends with a drink or two at the beach bar too. Our location is perfect for children to play on the wide sandy beach right in front of the kite spot, and our centre also offers windsurfing or stand up paddle lessons for them. The wind season is longer than you might imagine and runs all the way from May until the end of October. The weather remains warm and sunny throughout the whole season, perfect to sit out on the terraces of the local Greek tavernas enjoying the delicious food on offer. As for all of our destinations, we have our own KiteWorldWide guide on-site happy to show you the best restaurants, kite spots and other sights in Mastichari. Cheap flights depart several days per week. The Kite House is just a short 20-minute transfer from the airport.

Seahorse BayEgyptAfrica
Beachside Hotel Bed to Board Flatwater
Seahorse Bay is located between Hurghada and El Gouna and offers the perfect conditions for kitesurfers. We discovered Ibi & Friends’ amazing Kite Club many years ago and due to their unique setup not seen anywhere else in Egypt, we partnered with them to bring you the ultimate experience. Seahorse Bay offers three unique elements to your holiday: 1. Accommodation right at the spot and kite school area: you have the choice between three different accommodation options with just a five minutes walk from the new kite centre. No more missing out on wind because of tuk-tuk rides or late buses here! 2. Limited guests at our kite school allowing for more space: the reduced numbers of kitesurfers, students and equipment storage means you’ll always have enough space for launching and landing. 3. Kiting at low tide: most spots in Egypt are affected by low tide, but experienced kitesurfers can still ride at Seahorse Bay even when the water runs low thanks to the ‘pool’ in the ocean. At Seahorse Bay we offer a special ‘no-worries package’ where everything is included. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, advanced or even a non-kiter as our packages have everything you need covered.

EssaouiraMoroccoAfrica
Foiling SUP VWDS
Marhaba (welcome!) to the Bianca Guest House Riad and its unique Morrocan atmosphere. Our Essaouira destination offers a culturally rich kitesurfing holiday experience that’s different to the more usual short-haul trips from Europe. It’s perfect for anyone who’d like to experience something different. Famously, Jimi Hendrix partied it up in Essaouira and was inspired to write ‘Castle made of Sand’, and the area is also historically known for surfing. The epic wave spot ‘Moulay’ became popular when an old windsurfing movie disclosed its Morrocan secret, and the first-ever kitesurfing competition is also said to have taken place on the Essaouira beach in 1997. Rumour has it that even Pete Cabrinha and the Wipikas were there too! We have a full set up in Essaouira for you with various packages on offer where you’ll get to live together with other guests in laid back Morrocan style. We even have a KiteWorldWide Guide on site for you to relax and enjoy all that’s on offer without needing to worry. In Essaouira, you’ll be rewarded with reliable wind, an unbelievably long sandy beach without any obstacles or rocks, and an awesome kitesurf school with its friendly team. On top of that, you’ll be able to visit around half a dozen other spots for varying abilities all within 30 minutes. Experience Mediterranean-Arabian flair, great food and excellent accommodation all at affordable prices. In the winter season, Essaouira becomes a wave paradise for kite surfers with a bit of experience, and there’s a 100-150m waist-deep area just before the swell. During the summertime the swell gets a bit smaller but the wind picks up a lot more. You never have to worry about not having enough wind in Essaouira! Besides kitesurfing, Essaouira has a lot to offer from its beautiful Medina and the smell of spices and thuya wood, to that the sound of drums from the gorgeous souvenir shops and the hustle and bustle of the market… The Medina is full of colour and character! Some even say Essaouira is the most picture-perfect quaint medina in Morocco! Best of all, there are no cars at all to bother you! See you there!
