This time we look at various beaches of Lagos for kitesurfing, pros and cons of each of them and pitfalls.

N1. Kite lagoon – Lagos is known to everyone as the only place in Algarve for safe training and kitesurfing.Shallow, smooth and relatively warm water, best place to learn kitesurfing.

+ You can’t imagine better wind statistics, from April to November a north, north-west wind (North West) blows, sometimes there is a wind failure in August.

+ Lack of floating tourists in water (kitesurfing area)

– Not a stable wind.

-+It is difficult to get lagoon without a vehicle and knowledge of road, but we can call this a plus, as not everyone finds lagoon and there is a lot of space for kitsurfing.

Summer from June to October, the beach has 12 stationary points with sunbeds, umbrellas, jet skis and two lifeguards at each point.

According to Portuguese laws, you do not have a right to ride and launch a kite at a controlled point in territory, end of territory is indicated by a sign in three languages.

Beach is in a picturesque location surrounded by orange landscape cliffs, on left side are water caves and Ponto de Piedade, on right side is a high mountain separating Porto de Mós and Praia da Luz.

Kitesurfing in Porto de Mós is not a myth but a reality. Main thing is to wait for suitable conditions, and suitable conditions are direction of the wind – South, South-East, South-West.

Summer, most of the days are blowing – North, the North-West wind from Offshore, which attracts a lot of lazy tourists who like to rest on the beach under scorching sun and beach, which is protected from the wind.

If you still catch south wind in summer, it will be very problematic to go kitesurfing as there are a lot of floating tourists in water.

There is no place even to stick an umbrella on beach, there are also two stationary points with lifeguards that will not allow you launch a kite.

    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 👍🏻
