1.Parking and road.

Lagos Kite Spot

If you are hoping for an asphalt parking with white markings, then you are deeply mistaken. It’s not so bad, though. Even in high season, there are enough parking spaces.

An important point, do not leave the car behind the oyster farm. They can break glass. They can also take everything of value.

And there is a suspicion that the thieves work together with the farmers and a kite school that based there.

2.Kite launching area and beach.

Beach is large enough to safely prepare and launch kites. However, on those few very high tide days, the water covers most of the beach. On these days, a single kite can barely fit.

We also do not recommend leaving valuables on the beach. In the summer’s bustle, someone may confuse the backpack. They might take your things.

Also, after launching the kite, do not stand on the shore. The wind is not very even. A kite may fall on people or overlap with another kite.

3. Training area.

Depending on the tide, the shallow teaching spot can be larger or smaller (marked in yellow).

At high tide, the training area moves to the center of the kite lagoon. Training is possible only with a power-boat.

At completely low tide, size of a kite lagoon halved, and therefore the space for students becomes smaller.

The best time to learn is when the tide is coming. As water comes into the lagoon, the current becomes low. The area for learning and kitesurfing becomes larger. There is an opportunity to stay away from dangerous places.

4. Kiteng area.

Kitesurf Lagos

Area for advanced kiteboarders vary depending on number of students in kitesurfing lagoon of Lagos.

In high season, kitesurfing is very limited in the central and deep part of the lagoon. However, if you come at high tide, there will be enough space for everyone who wants to ride.

The best place for riding and practicing tricks and jumps has perfectly smooth water. It is in the center part of a lagoon behind a sandy island. The most stable wind is also there.

5. Dangerous places.

Kitesurf school Lagos

Kitesurf lagoon of Lagos –  is a safe enough place if you do not consider three BUTs:

First – there is a fairly strong current in the center of the lagoon at low tide. It can easily carry you into the open ocean in five minutes.

Second – is a rocky coast. A floor of a hundred kites breaks on it annually. We mark it on the map in red.

Third – oyster farms. At full high tide, they hide under water. At low tide, they are clearly visible. The danger lies in wooden and metal pins that stand around the perimeter.

    We rented equipment a week ago with Alex. The gear from CORE was in great condition and the whole team friendly.

    Alex even shared some drone footage of us riding, which was a great bonus. The lagoon was an amazing spot, too. We’ll definitely book with him again when we’re back in Lagos.

    Highly recommend! Communication over WhatsApp was easy, equipment all in good condition and everyone very helpful. I’ve had lessons elsewhere with little success but was up and riding on the board today within half an hour. Dimitri is the best instructor I’ve had by far!

    If you want to learn to kite surf, definitely do it with this school!! The teachers are the best. I did 3 sessions, and I was already standing on the board thanks to them. The whole team is amazing. You can feel, their passion for this sport, and also how they want to share it with their students. They will give you great support/ instructions while learning.
    I will definitely be back and can’t recommend this place enough for others, who want to learn to kite surf/ wing foil!!

    Had a very positive experience here. We learned how to kite upwind really fast. They have a beautiful location where you can stand in the water everywhere. Good equipment and nice people! Would defenitly recommend. You get clear instructions with theyre walkie talkie. And because of the great conditions of the lagoon you’ll be kiting in no time. Thanks again!

    Great teachers! The whole group of employees were really nice and patient with us being first timers. We had Dima as our private teacher and he was amazing! They’re all very knowledgeable about the area, the teaching ability, all while keeping us safe. Go with this company for your kite boarding needs because they’re all around a great company.

    I'm an experienced kitesurfer so I didn't need a lesson with Algarve Kite Center, but I had another type of 5 star experience; Winds are sometimes tricky and as a wind died very sudden I got basically stranded on the little sand bank in the middle of the Alvor Lagoon. Chances for swimming to shore were not great, perhaps doable but definitely risky. Long story short, we (one other kiter) were first begging the closest boats from "the other kite school" to rescue us (against reward obviously) but they just very rudely dismissed us and drove off... well we found our rescue from Algarve Kite Center - for free! Alex, thank you, my hero and saviour!

    Having never been to Lagos before I decided to use Algarve Kite Centre based on the reviews I could find online. I wasn’t disappointed. Right from the first contact Alex was easily reachable and answered all my questions via WhatsApp.

    The teaching with Dimtry was excellent and through his coaching with the radio headsets he managed to get me riding up wind and transitioning.

    The whole team were super friendly and approachable helping me to grow in confidence as they guided me to riding independently. The set up they have is in a great spot and their use of the boat combined with their local knowledge maximised my time on the water.

    Alex also sent me some drone footage of my riding which was a really useful and a great perk.

    I had lessons with different schools in the UK before coming to Lagos, but this school is undoubtedly the best I’ve used and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone starting out or looking to improve their skills.

    I had a great time here. Alex and Sasha are great teachers and I felt I progressed all the time. They even were so nice to pick me up from the city everyday.
    Can’t go wrong with these guys!

    I had done the beginner course somewhere else and wanted to close the gap to kiting on my own. My goal was to start in both directions and ride upwind. By phone I could easily book 2 hours for this. These could also be postponed due to the weak wind until everything fit.
    The instructor asked me about my skills and let me do everything myself as far as possible.
    He always helped me when he saw that I was getting nowhere or doing something technically wrong. The long sandbar with knee to hip deep water provided safety for trying things out and learning on my own. There was also a boat ready if I fell in the deeper water and drifted too far.
    I could kite the newest Core material.
    I can recommend the school with its team and will come back 👍🏻
