    Really liked the course. The team is super supportive, you'll really appreciate their attitude once you're out on the water losing ground. They really educate all along the way. Got me exactly 5 days from noob to riding, just as Alex predicted at the beggining. Once again, excellent team and I loved that that the gear is available in great condition and at any size.

    Without hesitation, I highly recommend Algarve Kite Center! Alex, the owner, is super friendly and makes everything easy from start to finish. I rented all the equipment and had an amazing afternoon kiting. Safety is clearly a priority here – Alex even has a boat on hand, which gave me total peace of mind. Great experience all around!

    Rented kite gear with Alex and can fully recommend him & his team. The gear is of good quality, communication with Alex is easy and the spot is perfect for your stay in Lagos or nearby.

    But most importantly Alex's team is great. Vlodymir was really kind and always there to help. Anna loves teaching, is a great communicator and has a rich personality.

    Can fully recommend and wish I could have stayed for longer.

    We only had two days of beginner courses with two different trainers , both were friendly , patient and very knowledgeable. I had wakeboarding experience so in just two days I could get up and ride as a complete beginner. The place is great as well with shallow water , good for beginners to practice water starts.

    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 👍🏻
