The first time I wrote a memo about kitesurf in Lagos a long time ago. It was a very necessary and relevant article, but since then everything has changed and very much! Who wants to neigh, can read the original, below I will present my vision of the current situation.

First, let’s decide on what kitesurf equipment to ride in Lagos. In the sky, naturally to the kite!! The size of the kite which is most useful in Lagos for beginners:

14m – for big boy 100 kg

12m – for a guy 80kg

9 – 10m for dry and technical guys 75-65 kg

Girls 10-9-8m if you weigh 60-50-45

7–5m for kids 35–25 kg.

This is a sign for kitesurf beginners, and smart and experienced do not need advice, and so they know what to ride. On his feet, a kiteboard must have either a kiteboard or a waveboard, in rare cases a foilboard.

In Lagos, the blowing often is sometimes very strong, and usually everyone kitesurfer on slightly larger or smaller boards. Here, too, you can make the simplest recommendations for how long a kiteboard to buy:

Kite center is on Algarve coast in a small town witch called Lagos, and for those who are not well versed in geography, it is in the very south of Portugal. Most of the windy days are about 95%, the kite center operates in a lagoon between Lagos and Alvor.

For those who think that it is possible to settle in one of these cities and get free without transport, they are deeply mistaken. The distance is about 5 kilometers. With transport, it will be much easier in every sense to see the sights of the city (lighthouse, water caves, the old town).

Go to the west coast (Costa Vicentina, Cabo São Vicente lighthouse, Sagres fortress) and see elements of Atlantic Ocean, a wave breaking against high rocks. Algarve is ideal for all water sports, including sailing-sports like kitesurfing and windsurfing.

Unlike other European kite spots, we combine here all the best qualities for active kite recreation:
