Kitesurf Atlas

The Kite House
www.algarve-watersport.com

Our kite house is located in a quiet town area of beautiful Lagos. The beach is only 7 minutes by foot, the kite lagoon only 10 by car or bike (we rent bikes with a boardrack). The house has five double or dorm-bedrooms and a cosy lounge with wifi-internet, cable TV and a multimedia computer system. You can fix your own meals in the well equipped kitchen, fire up the BBQ in the patio or hang out in the hammocks. If you rather eat out you will find a great variety of inexpensive restaurants and snackbars in the center of town only a three minute walk from the kitehouse. Lagos is party capital of the Algarve, the young and crazy scene comes from all over the world. Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians and Euros party until dawn.

Kite Spots

Our kite school spot is a big lagoon very close to Lagos. Depending on the tides the water is between knee and shoulder deep making it easy to learn the basics of kiteboarding. The “Nortada” the Portuguese north wind gets accelerated by the surrounding landscape which allows wind speed up to 20 knots while other parts of the Algarve are calm. This is the reason the PKRA (the Kiteboarding Pro Tour) stops here once per year. We take our clients by boat to an island in the middle of the lagoon. This place offers steady wind and lots of room for maximum safety and perfect learning conditions. Beginners to pros love the flat, warm water around the island.

Kiteboarding Lessons

Our students and camp participants are coached by multilingual, certified and well-trained IKO and VDWS-Instructors. Our unique, up-to-date teaching methods are supported by waterproof walkie-talkies, boat assistance and teaching with video camera. Naturaly modern kiteboarding equipment from our partners: Cabrinha, Best kiteboarding and pro-limit is included for the duration of the course. Our students are taught in small groups never bigger than 4 students per teacher. At the end of the theoretic and practical part of the course we offer a certification by IKO or VDWS-Standard allowing to rent equipment at kite stations world wide. For advanced kiteboarders with own equipment we offer a rescue and shuttle service on the kite lagoon.

Kite Surfaris

On request we organise kitesurfaris to different spots. We take experienced kiteboarders to find clean waves and sideshore winds for great wave-kitesurfing on the west coast or beautiful flat water freeriding on different lagoons in the east Algarve.

Kite Rental and Sale

On presentation of a IKO- or VDWS certification from level 3 (going upwind) and after a location orientation we offer equipment rental. The client can choose from a variety of kites and boards from Cabrinha and Best Kiteboarding. We also offer a insurance against breakage which is optional. We always have new and used equipment for sale.
