Hi everyone
I'm heading to Euro land in about 3 weeks, going to take gear and was wondering if anyone can tell me where to go kiting in Spain or Portugal... I'll be there mid june and i'm thinking about heading to the atlantic coast at this point (cause i know my way around there).
any comments, suggestions ???
cheers

Hi Dean,
Good spot for kiting in Spain on the Atlantic is Tarifa (at the extreme end-point of Spain near Gibiltair in front of the African coast), long beaches to launch and easy accomodation, the wind is very stong but not gusty (in a good day it can arrive up to 35/40 knots with an average of 25), you will need a small kite.
Portugal: Guincho just near Lisbon, very windy (as Tarifa) with big swell. At the lower end of Portugal there is a good spot called Sagres. Good waves and a big bay with cross-off/flat water conditions. The water in Portugal is damn freezing even is summer so you will need a good spring wetsuit if not thicker.
If you want to know more info give me a buzz on 9336 5440.
Rip it!
