Being able to control your kite in the wind and speeding over the surface of the water is an incredible feeling. With our kitesurfing lessons at Lagoa de Albufeira in Sesimbra, you can achieve exactly this. While beginners learn the basics, first on land and then on water, advanced kitesurfers can practice more challenging techniques with the help of our experts. With small groups of only two participants of the same level per instructor, you can be sure to make fast progress.
Meeting & PreparationWe meet at our
base right at Lagoa de Albufeira (free parking available). Here you get changed, store your things in a locker, meet your instructor and receive your equipment. We then head to the beach where we start the kitesurfing lessons with a theoretical introduction.
