As kite surfing gets increasingly widespread (it is the world’s fastest growing water sport!), many people are joining the kite surfing league. Learners across the world are constantly searching for the best destination(s) to begin their kite surfing journey. . Harnessing the power of the wind and combining elements from numerous other board sports and paragliding, kitesurfing is an exhilarating water sport that is relatively easy to pick up on, making it a perfect sport to try if you have always been curious about whether or not you could do it. The following list will give you an idea about where to go for the best kitesurfing around the world. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a professional, there is a place for you!

1. Maui, Hawaii, U.S.

The Hawaiian Island Maui is more than one of the worlds best kitesurf spots, it is home to some wonderful conditions in a wide range of watersports, with a combination of flat water and waves. Wind is practically guaranteed in this tropical paradise. Fringing reef creates flat water lagoons for free riders, and the surf’s almost always up on the edge. Maui is where kiters first took to the surf. March/April and October/November are prime times for wave riding.

2. Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

With year round sunshine, warm waters and some of the most consistent winds on the planet, a kitesurfing holiday in the Canary Islands offers conditions that are pretty close to perfect. Some 60 miles off the coast of Morocco, the beaches at Fuerteventura fell like ocean-side outposts amid the island’s rocky desert. Wind sweeps the shore day after day. May through September are prime times for wave riding.

3. Columbia River Gorge, OR/WA, U.S.

KITEBOARDING IS THE closest most of us humans will ever get to flying, and the Columbia Rivеr Gorge , a chasm lined with luscious evergreen forests, waterfalls, and cliffs on the Washington-Oregon border, is one of the nation’s premier spots to try it.. A backdrop of cliffs and waterfalls adds to the allure. May through September are prime times for wave riding.

4. Long Bay, Turks and Caicos

Turks and Caicos is a Caribbean paradise, with turquoise water and soft white sand that seem to spring from dreams. Kiteboarding elevates well at Long Bay. Protected by fringing reef, this flat-water paradise has a sandy bottom and consistent side-shore wind. Waist high waters makes it easy to wade back to your board.

5. Lake Garda, Italy

Italy’s largest lake, Lake Garda makes a perfect spot for kitesurfing because steep hills plunge from the Alps and pinch the lakes edges, creating two main wind patterns. Kiting between these dramatic mountains in the morning and afternoon thermals is a unique experience. The early morning Peler funnels cool air from the north. In the afternoon, the Ora surges from the south making the air warm.
