Head north from Porto and discover impressive scenery and a wide expanse of ocean alongside the wild coastline.

Kitesurfing Holidays in North Portugal, Portugal

The area of Cabedelo beach is slowly rising through the ranks as one of the best places in the world to learn to kitesurf. The best winds prevail during the summer months between May and September. The wind is normally light in the mornings, picking up nicely for beginners during lunchtime and increasing in strength towards the afternoon with late afternoons being the best time for advanced kitesurfers to take to the water. This area of Portugal is said to provide the most consistent wind in the whole country. The wind blows side shore and the natural horseshoe shape at the area of Viana do Castelo means you can't really get yourself into trouble.

Details

Description :

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.

You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts! Here you will be taught how to properly fly an inflatable kitesurfing kite, how to control your kite and what to do if you crash it in the water. On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.

You will then move on to the board lessons. What does that mean? Well it is time to get up on the board now. You will practice using the kite to generate pull and you will learn how to get the kite to pull you without the board first. The idea is to get used to how the kite behaves when asked to pull you. Once confident doing this you will learn how to put the board on your feet and after that, how to get up on the board. Most people will manage to do a few metres on the board by the end of the course.

Never tried foiling before? if you are a confident regular kitesurfer and want to at least double your 'kitable' days, give foiling a go! A lot of kiters who have mastered the twin tip or surfboard and looking for a new challenge and want the ultimate feeling of floating and gliding over the water, this is it! The great thing about riding the Hydrofoil is its massive wind range, a 10m kite will get you up riding in 12knots or less, and keep riding well into 20 knots.

Windsurfing Holidays in North Portugal, Portugal

Adults and children alike will love the windsurfing in this magnificent region of Portugal. Experienced windsurfers can hire equipment and take advantage of the various spots and conditions along the coastline, while those looking to learn to windsurf will enjoy the quieter waters around where the Lima river joins the ocean.

Wingfoiling Holidays in North Portugal, Portugal

Northern Portugal, at the Wing Foiling beach of Viana do Castelo, is a perfect place for all levels of Wing Foiler. But why? The consistent winds between May and September blow side shore from the right over a long water break, creating flat water conditions - excellent for learning. The Atlantic swell rapes around the end of the water break, cleaning clean lines of small waves for the more advanced. The further downwind you go, the bigger the wave gets, so you can pick your spot. The water also gets deep quite quickly from the beach. The fully stocked Wing Foiling Centre is right on the beach, with changing rooms and a small restaurant. Really great !
