What is kitesurfing?

Kitesurfing combines surfing, wakeboarding and paragliding into one adrenaline-pumping water sport. It doesn’t require big waves, making it suitable for enthusiastic amateurs. A large kite pulls you across the water on a board, and with a little practice, you’ll be skimming the surface and even catching air. Book a lesson at a local school to master the basics, then let the wind and water power your most exhilarating ride yet.

Zanzibar’s kitesurf hotspots include Paje and Jambiani, while Pemba Island’s Fundu Lagoon offers shallow, clear waters that are just right for newcomers to the sport. On the mainland, Kawe near Dar es Salaam is a serene spot with impressive views and steady winds, perfect for first-time kitesurfers.

Spain

With predictable winds and year-round sunshine, Spain is a top kitesurfing destination. Tarifa is Europe’s kitesurfing capital, while Fuerteventura offers a laid-back atmosphere and scenic beaches.

Whether you're a keen novice or an expert looking for a new challenge, Spain has excellent spots for every level.
