TatajubaBrazilSouth America
Bed to Board Flatwater Lagoon
Brazil is known for its strong and constant wind, but Tatajuba offers even more than the other kitesurfing areas around Brazil. Constant side onshore wind with 99% wind probability blows from July to February. In July, August and February, you can expect 17-23 knots in Tatajuba and only a few wind-free days. In high season you can also expect a few more knots in Tatajuba compared to other spots. Around 30 knots plus is the norm kitesurfers expect here! The small village of Tatajuba is located between Jericoacoara (Jeri for short) and Camocim, right at the mouth of a river. There are no tarmac roads in this village; you walk on fine sand, surrounded by palm trees, friendly locals and unique nature. Deep red sunsets and probably the strongest wind in Brazil await you, and anyone who knew and loved Cumbuco as a small, remote fishing village will more than appreciate this spot. The Tatajuba kitesurfing spot is a river mouth where the incoming and outgoing water creates a beautiful shallow water area ideal for freestyle or learning to kite. The open sea beyond is also great for beginners thanks to its vastness and the site's safe onshore wind. There is endless space here from the first few metres on the board, to cruising further or for practising new moves. Small kicker waves promise great fun on the directional surfboard. Tatajuba offers kiters endless possibilities. If you like, you can book a trip to a freshwater lagoon just 4 kilometres away, or discover the coast of Brazil on endless downwinders. Our beach buggy tours are a must and you can easily get to nearby Jericoacoara for shopping or partying!

DakhlaMoroccoAfrica
Flatwater Lagoon Shallow Water
Kitesurfing in Dakhla and everything you need to know about the kitesurfing spots around Dakhla: With its mild year-round temperatures and reliable winds, the Dakhla Lagoon is a true paradise for kitesurfers.

The vast lagoon with its butter-flat water is perfect for learning to kitesurf or practising freestyle tricks. The various kite spots offer plenty of space on the water for all skill levels. Of course, kite courses are also offered by certified and multilingual instructors – whether for beginners, advanced riders or special courses, for example for freestyle kiters.

Punta ChamePanamaCentral America
Bed to Board Flatwater Lagoon
Punta Chame is a peaceful, idyllic peninsula offering ideal kitesurfing conditions in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Here you live right on the spot, are woken by the wind in the morning and can go out on the water immediately after a delicious breakfast. On good days, the team stays out with you until sunset – the ultimate kitesurfing experience! In contrast to Brazil, Panama is even less known as a kitesurfing destination, but Punta Chame offers excellent conditions for beginners, advanced and freestylers from December to April. With wind conditions and water temperatures of 28°C and air temperatures of 31°C, it is the perfect place to escape the European winter. Our main kitespot in Punta Chame offers a large lagoon at low tide, which is particularly suitable for beginners and intermediates. At high tide, the water reaches the kite camp, where advanced kiters can start directly and take advantage of the ideal conditions for foiling and wing foiling. Just ten minutes away, on the other side of the peninsula, there is a swell that is ideal for surfing and offers even more variety.

El Gouna/Makani BeachEgyptAfrica
Flatwater Lagoon Shallow Water
El Gouna is probably one of the most popular kite spots in the world. This man-made resort on the Red Sea is somehow different from all our other holiday destinations. It’s a bit artificial, a bit Egyptian, yet still authentic. Sounds strange? It is indeed, but in the best way! For many, El Gouna offers the ultimate kite life with a huge selection of nice hotels, lovely restaurants and bars, and all just a short distance away. El Gouna attracts a lot of kitesurfers spread between several kite centres that provide the official launch spots. Some centres are designed for mass tourism, where others are smaller and have a higher demand. It took us time to finally find what we wanted, and the Makani Beach Club offers the exclusivity and high quality we were looking for that is unique to El Gouna. If you’re new to kitesurfing and want to learn in a nice area suitable for your needs, then El Gouna is a great option. You can find more beginner information on our kitesurfing learning page. Allow us to introduce you to El Gouna and the kite trips and hotels we recommend!

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.

Anyone can learn to kitesurf- it's a sport that is accessible to almost everyone. It doesn't matter how old you are, what gender you are or what physical condition you are in. Here are some reasons why kitesurfing can be learned by anyone and why learning to kitesurf on holiday is the most fun:Learn to kitesurf on holiday:The best way to learn to kitesurf is on a kitesurfing holiday, because there you have the necessary peace and time to take a kitesurfing course. Far away from the stress of everyday life, our licensed kite instructors teach you everything you need to know about kitesurfing.
Unlike some other water sports, kitesurfing does not require exceptional physical fitness. Of course, a certain basic level of fitness helps, but most people can develop the necessary strength and stamina over the course of training.
Step by step to kite success: Kitesurfing can be learned step by step. Beginners usually start with a small trainer kite before moving on to larger kites.
At KiteWorldWide, the community is in the foreground: right from the start of your kite trip, you are accepted into our kite community. Even if you are travelling alone, you will have direct contact with other kitesurfers. Beginners can learn from experienced kitesurfers and at the latest at dinner there is no other topic of conversation.
Fun and "addictive": Once you have mastered the basics of kitesurfing, it becomes an incomparable adventure. The feeling of gliding on the water and using the wind is incredibly satisfying and addictive.
