never been there before but a quick search on google gave me this weird information:
www.intheloopkiteboarding.com
There appears to be a shop where you might be able to talk to some locals

I hope you're not making fun of us there Cabo? ;)

Yeah we're a pretty relaxed bunch, including Marvin and Flo from InTheLoop and local kiters and myself. Put it this way, we all know each other and support each other when ever we can - in and out of the water.

Pallarenda is usually the best spot around here and can get a bit crowded, but there is over 8km of beach to try on. Just watch out for the power lines on the nothern end of the beach and beach goers, walkers, etc further down closer into town. There are signs showing were to kite.

Otherwise, if you're game you can explore other beaches further north or even Alva Beach 1hrs drive south.

Plenty of space and warm water to match. Just wear a stinger suit just in case and don't worry about crocs. You'll likely see turtles ducking their heads as you ride towards them or a Dewgon (spell?) now and then.

Why not come over on a windy day (next Sun looks good) and just say hi!?
