Where should a newbie learn to kite in July?

[JohanER]

Hi all,

I'm a 23-year old guy, who wants to learn to kiteboard properly during some weeks in July.

Two years ago, I actually did a one-day beginner course, which went very well. Afterwards I bought my own gear, and went out a few times - however, soon after I got a job, which, combined with my studies, took most of my time. Therefore I haven't been out since that.

I remember most of the theory I was taught back then. But I still think that it would be wisest to start up with a little supervision.
I'm from Denmark, so I'm considering a kite-camp in DK - but a spot in Europe/Asia/North Africa could also be cool, and might have a higher probability of wind in july?

Does anyone have some good spots/camps they can recommend? I would be very grateful.
I would prefer a place, which is neither too crowded or expensive.

Btw - I will probably be traveling on my own, so it won't hurt if the place has some social life.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Johan

The med has good wind in the summer, look into a camp in Croatia. There are numerous. Greece too but Gr can get expensive fast.

Cabarete Dominican Republic is windy every single day.
Its cheap to eat and drink. very cool place to be.

Cabarete is a good place... good wind probably every day in July. There are over five schools. prices are low too...

Hi guys, thanks a lot for all of your inputs.
I think Cabarete must be next summer or later this year - too expensive for me atm. to fly all the way over there from Denmark

I'm currently looking into Croatia. Anyone tried some of the camps/spots there?

Btw. I'm also looking at this camp: http://www.elementfish.com/, which is located in Ofir in Portugal.
The wind and spot itself should be nice for beginners... ?

Thanks!
Johan

I enjoyed Paros, Greece a few years ago...flat water and not very crowded so great for learning! It should also be pretty cheap to fly there from Denmark. I hung out with the guys from http://www.paroskite.gr/ and had a great time. Here is a post about Paros in July viewtopic.php?t=2383741&p=834577

Hello,

If you are looking into Asia in the months from may to October? Shocking Windy and IKO teachers in a still hidden spot? Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

Just look at this.

Look at the chart also that I have posted for you.

Wherever you may go. Have a great time with a lot of laughs.

Thanks,

Maurice
