Dates & Availability 2008: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO COME?
The camps run from April to December and the courses are also run on a
continual basis with groups of
not more than 6 people per course.
However, the best months for kitesurfing
are May to September. This is
when the sea tends to be flat and
the wind consistent. During the
winter months the sea can become
too choppy and although the wind
might be good on the occasional
day it cannot be guaranteed.

Typical Kiteboarding Session
Here's a quick overview of what to expect from yor first Kite Session.
Previous Day: Check weather/wind prediction for next day. Arrange time to meet at kiteboarding academy next day.
Typical Session: Meet at kiteboard center, prepare and load kite equipment into vehicle. Head off into the desert and in the shadow of a dormant volcano you'll get your first kite lesson.
Off-load kites and other equipment. Learn how to set-up the kite equipment, detremine wind direction and learn about the wind window and how kite reaction. A quick 'pre-flight' check and then the exhilaration of launching and landing the kite by yourself. Feel the power and adrenalin kick in! Learn how to pilot the kite in the power zone, rigging and adjusting a 4 line kite and piloting with a harness.
End of session: Recap on what you have learned, all help pack up the equipment and the head off back to the kite center. Hopefully by this point you will be flipping out totally hooked on kiteboarding and can't wait for the next session! Back to your accommodation and a hot shower to ease those aches and pains from a hard days kiting.
