Best kitesurfing education

Postby bmm » Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:16 pm

Dear friends,

I'm looking for the best and safest schools to get the best possible education in kitesurfing, to ensure future long term relationship with them and progress in the sport.

Which schools would you recommend?

Thank you so much!

I'm currently based in Spain, but don't mind to move around a bit if needed to find a good school :)

I don’t think a school can be best or not...it always depends on the instructor.
There area really bad and really good.

A good location is also important...you don’t want to learn in spots like Tarifa or Sotavento, which have a lot of schools and are advertised as great spots.
Their winds are gusty.

You want a shallow area with winds around 15-25 knots.

Not easy to find places like that.

Egypt, Sardinia, Brazil, Sri Lanka are a few to be mentioned.
