The five best kite spots in the world

For the best kite spots in the world, more is needed than just wind. Although wind is an important factor, other factors also play a role, such as how flat, turbulent, or wavy the water is where you are sailing. The weather conditions and the vibe of a spot are certainly not unimportant either. As long as you have a kite, board, and harness, it should be possible in many places near you. However, if you are going for a spot that exceeds your wildest dreams, you can find spots all over the world. All you need is a will, gear, and some wind.

1. Noordwijk (South Holland, Netherlands)

Located on the west coast of the Netherlands, this is by far one of the most enjoyable places to spend your days surfing. In the summer, the temperatures are pleasant, the waves are good, and the wind isn’t bad either. When there’s no wind, you can have a great time on the beach with other surfers or in the pubs in the evening.

2. La Ventana (Mexico)

Located near the southernmost point of Mexico, La Ventana is a place that is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The view and the sea are spectacular. The strong and constant wind makes this place a paradise for kite surfers.

3. Nabq (Egypt)

The town of Nabq is located in the southeast of the Sinai Peninsula between the beautiful resorts of Sharm el-Sheikh and the port of Dahab. Kite surfers come in large numbers to this place to catch the wave from Aqaba with a steady wind.

4. Tarifa (Spain)

Tarifa is the southernmost city on the European mainland on the Costa de la Luz, with about 38 km of golden beaches, clear water and lots of wind. The Strait of Gibraltar acts as a wind tunnel because the Mediterranean merges with the Atlantic Ocean.

5. Isla Margarita (Venezuela)

Isla Margarita is located in the Caribbean on the northeastern coast of Venezuela. With a tropical beach, many locals who surf, and a constant wind throughout the year, it is a great place to visit.
