Right now I would just like ANY place to kitesurf...
Agreed
Right now I wana just go back to work & to hell with the virus
19M lines +19M lines= far enough to meet social distancing guidelines anywhere!
Why there is no Hel Peninsula :( !? :)
I’m sitting between seasons with wind shifting 360° around and an average of 30th or less.
I’m waiting for the strong wind to kick back in.
Tarifa is a good spot as well, wind almost every day during Summer and winter 🌬
yeah tarifa is absolutly awesome
I just started learning how to kite and had no clue that where I live here in Safety Bay Western Australia was one of the best places in the world to kite. Very lucky to have the pound just few minutes away , beautiful beach and consistent wind 🏝️. One day I will go back to Brazil and explore my home country 🤙.
my last three kite trips were to Hood River, South Africa, and Brazil. This is a pretty solid list. If you do go to Brazil you should go MUCH farther afield than Cumbuco or Taiba. All of my favorite places were on the other side of Jeri ... Specifically, Macapa is the greatest place I have ever kited.
Great video!!! Not surprised to see Brazil in the top of the list. When I learned Kitesurf and started traveling around, took me couple years to realize my hometown has one of the best combo wind/waves of the world! Paracuru!!
I totally agree with you about the fact that the best spots are hard to get to.... a top 10 must I found is Aitutaki Cook Islands. Go out every day by rib and enjoy one of the most remote and beautiful places in the world.
definitely one of the best videos I´ve seen from you!!! thanks!
Totally agree, I've been to most but look forward to visiting the ones I haven't. Thank you!
Great video, Sam. I loved that you named a country larger than the contiguous US as a kite spot haha
Looking forward to check Mauritius out.
A lot of these places seem unpleasantly crowded to me. Cape Town, the lagoons in Brazil, Hood River, Dhaka ... and many other spots. There's something to be said for the beauty of uncrowded spots.
Duuuuude! Nice one! Production was on point with this one! 👊🏻
Brazil is really amazing!
In Ceará, there is the city of Camocim, which has 63km of coastline and winds of 30kt where the kiteboarder can do the best donwind of his life!

Hey Sam nice video. All of these places look really cool. Maybe I will get to some of them one day. The thing about Cape Hatteras and the Outer Banks is that they stick farther out so the wind and waves are better than the rest of the U.S East Coast
Hi Sam,
Congrats for this great selection of a stunning places, I am not a kiter although made me very happy to see my region on it. Thanks.
Abraço.
Clay - Vila Preá - Jericoacoara - Ceará
I live in Ceará, Brasil. It’s the best. Cheap, amazing wind, waves, lagoons, down wind, everything.
Have been there in Ceará, the only drawback is have to go back home someday!
You'd love Bantham in South Devon, a great place when it's ON. Mostly waves and kickers but truly one of the best in the UK.
great list! adding Maui, Tarifa, and Cabarete
In my opinion Zandvoort (Netherlands) is a great spot it is pretty choppy but very windy and you will be able to do your biggest jumps you ever did and occasionally some flat water. Im a 13 year old kitesurfer and I’m a local there
top 10 is on point .. thanks
Nice video, Sam! Here in Brazil you dont need to check the forecast if you are kiting in northeast (from Rio Grande do Norte to Maranhão) july through november ( Rio Grande do Norte is as of september). If you go kiting in Rio de Janeiro, the city I live, you have check the forecast every day.
Great video once again! Very inspiring
Great video, and love my kiting house on the sound in Avon - Hatteras Island!
Yeah! I’m Brazilian and our country have some of the best place in the world for this sport! (My luck) and Cumbuco and Taiba are amazing! Also add to this list Cabo Verde - ilha de sal - near to europe e cheap
Which places at ilha de sal?
Marsala (Italy) is a great kitesurf destination too! Check it out. It's especially good for beginners but it offers great spots for experts too and the view is literally breathtaking!
Paje, Zanzibar. Perfection
Your spots rock... I’d love to explore them all one day 🤟🤙
Here’s a bit about the Seychelles! 🇸🇨
Kitesurfing is not very common here but the locations are incredible!
During the right season we have consistent strong wind blowing from the SE.
The best spot is between 2 nearby islands off of Mahe. The wind blows through the gap between them, reducing wind shifts, and at the end there are some small waves going over the reef and making some smooth terrain.
We have warm temperatures through the year and when the wind drops, free diving will take over your time.
⛵️
Great video as always! I now have my Bucket list!
great list! I would add however Los Roques among top 5. Cheers
Thank you for this video!
Hello Sam, Thank you very much for your videos, I really like them.
I share your opinion of Cumbuco Brazil, close to Fortaleza, I humbly believe that there are other incredible and very accessible places that you missed,
1. Punta Chame, Republic of Panama, from December to March, the ambient temperature of water and wind is magical, ideal for kite sailing from 12 to 8 m², weighing 80 kg. Amazing scenery, a fantastic community of kiters and people.
2. Cuesta del Viento, San Juan, Republic of Argentina, preferably when it is summer, from December to March, it is 3,000 meters high, an artificial dam to stop the melting waters, after 12 noon, the wind It turns on as if someone turned it on with a switch almost on time every day. For Kites from 6 to 10 m², weight 80 kg. Positive side incredible landscapes, incredible wind and people, negative, you have to wear a 4/3 neoprene suit at least, and on my last trips the first and second day I lost them due to the change of living at sea level and moving to the height of 3,000 meters of blow height. But once in the kite, everything is great.
3. Humbly I found Cabarete fantastic in the Dominican Republic.
4. Punta del Este, the Republic of Uruguay in December and January.
5. I never was, but it is a pending task that I hope to carry out that I have wanted for many years still when I was windsurfing. HAWAII, USA.
Regards.
Leo
Northern parts of Colombia are also an honorable mention
Great info! Thank you!
Why there is no Hel Peninsula :( !? :)
beautiful! I also love La Ventana in Mexico and Huahin in Thailand.
Huahin is amazing but propably not worth top 10 in the entire world
Hua hin when do they have wind.
Was there a few times never gad decent wind.
Need to check out Bar al Hickman and Masirah in Oman, consistent wind, perfect weather and crystal clear water. Best of all though, there are never more than a handful of other kiters at any spot.
Watching from Safety Bay Western Australia. You got that right mate 👍
Silvaplana is also pretty impressive. It is totally in the mountains, 1800m over sea level. With a view directly to the snowy mountains and glaciers...
Awesome! Brazil is really great.
There are some phenomenal spots in Mexico. From Baja and La Ventana to Tulum and Bucerias Mexico near PV.
Yep la ventana for sure
Yeah, the best, we live there from Nov into May but I wasn't going to mention it, getting crowded there!
Why there is no Hel Peninsula :( !? :)
Tarifa! Great wind and people!
Definitely need to visit México! Cancún, Yucatán, La Ventana and Bucerias in Puerto Vallarta are amazing places to kitesurf
Where are the spots?
I don't want to go back to Mexico because of the cartels. Unfortunately.
Great one dudee thanks
Definitely would recommend you to check out blue lagoon in Sinai desert, Egypt
Are there any hotels nearby? Where do you stay when you go there? And which months does it blow?
you should go to scotland. great flatwater spots and waves aswell!
plus NOBODY around. there were people at the beach and they asked us what were doing there. they have never seen kitesurfers before.
Hello where in scotland , and which period ?
Thanks ,merci 🙂
Cabarete mannnn!
Agree with the list. I would add Namotu when there is wind and Peru (Pacasmayo and Punta Luna) for the waves
Natal. Start there. You can go north our south for few hundred miles
I love your videos so much and first to comment and I love kitesurfing
Svencele in Lithuania is a good places to kite ;) Fresh, shallow water, no sand, just soft grass, wind can come from any direction, sometimes good for freestyle, sometimes for big air, sometimes you get just 12knts, sometimes 40+. Yes it is bit hard to plan when to go, but once you get to kite there, you'd love it
Can you park there with a trailer and sleep in it?
Hi Sam! Great video! I think you are missing Tarifa (south of Spain) it gets busy in high season, but its a great spot! and lots to do !
Congrats for the video!!
yes!! I went kitesurfing in Ilha de Guajiru, 100% recommended, besides great kite conditions, there is amazing food and such a nice community :)
6:27 Taiba lagoon?
Dakhla is indeed awesome!
Thank you 🙏
Verry nice, but You miss Clássico Beach Club at Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Wind, wave, pretty people, party, hot weather, nice sunset. Enjoying it
Sick Video 🙌🏽
Sick! No.10 is the one for me
The most entertaining sport on earth, in my view.
Haha, I guess thats the only list without "Tarifa" :D (but I totally agree with you!)
Good list! But you must have Maui on it. Other candidates, wave riding: Northern Madagascar (Sakalavala or Babaomby) seems amazing but far. Cabarete is in my good spots too (waves and overall vibe). Marshall islands or Indonesia could make the list too it seems. Never been yet!
Wich destinations in brazil are preferable?
Especially after silvester i have heared that the rea around natal should have benefits to fortaleza..
Whats your oppinion?
The best spot is where it all lines up and comes together! ........Ireland is also worth a mention
🤐🤐 let's keep the secret 🤣
yes, Ireland is the hidden gem... awesome place for kiting
Well done Mate👍 but in my opinion you missed one Amazing Place, with flat water and always guaranteed wind : Porto Pollo - Palau Sardinia 😎
Hi Sam, cool video and very interesting, can you make similar only about Uk spots ? That would be also very interesting
Mui Ne - Vietnam!
A very good spot with good wind and sometimes good waves!
But a bit exhausting to get there.
Water is clear or yellow?
Where about in Brazil? It's not exactly a small place so some more detailed pointers would be great 👍 :-)
Growing up windsurfing in Cape Town I can say that its an amazing spot to windsurf and I expect kitesurf. In the summer months the South Easter picks up at about 11am and blows a gale until about 5pm almost every day.
If you are a beginner then you can head further north to the lagoon spot in langebaan which is also a pretty spectacular spot. The water is cold so bring a good wetsuit.
Great video thanks
my top 5 ( have not been to all of these). 1. cape hatteras. 2.dahkla. 3. brazil. 4.northern peru. 5. cape town
hello, which spots in brazil exacly would you recommend? a spot with big lagoons or flat water with onshore wind? Thx for the infos regards
Your right I spent 9 years kitesurfing the northeast of brasil 500klm downwinders , waves flat water 🇧🇷🇧🇷🤟amazing 😁
Hey Sam, how about Cabarete, DR? seems like it too has it all as well, waves, flat water and I think even some rails in the lagoon.
Los Roques in Venezuela will love it.
i don't think we have the best spots but i would recommend you to try kiting in canada.. its a bit sad nobody ever comes here lol we have epic waves on both sides as well as some of the best in land lakes with wind.. any of the great lakes or even the smaller ones
BRAAZILL 🌟
Sansibar, Tarifa and Sankt Peter Ording is missing😉🤙🏼
El Gouna on the Red Sea has to be on the list. Great flat water / bump & jump spot withe awesome wind and weather all year. Oh and Lake Garda in the summer isn't to shaby either.
Awesome vid mate !!!!
What a great vídeo!
I think that dakhla deserve to be one of the 3 bests spots in the world because of the wind that is always good. Also we can find in dakhla flat spots, speed spots, wave spots and we can do some incredible down winds to the white dune for example. Good video thanks for your advise. And in brazil, is Jericoacoara the spot you’re showing in the video ?
Since nobody answered... Definitely not Jericoacoara. And definitely in Ceará state, north of Fortaleza.
There's more than one spot when he shows Brazil, but all in Ceará and north of Fortaleza.
I hope you can go to Venezuela sometime. It has very good places to kite surf, one in particular is called Adicora , you will love it

Stagnone in Sicily! 😉🤙🏼
You missed one thing for mauritius
We have some amazing flat water spot only the locals know about but wouod nuce to show them to some of you guys
Hood River for sure! But you missed Maui and South Padre Island Texas. Dying to go to the Cook Islands and Dahkla.
You should visit Puck Bay in Poland from the side of the Hel peninsula where it blows 300 days a year and there is shallow water up to 2 km from the shore.
Was in Tatajuba - really cool place and people there!
Phy Quy Island Vietnam very strong constant wind from December to April is very cheap to stay but is bit of a mission to get to
Come and experience mombasa beaches and shella in lamu island in kenya
Brazil #1 hands down! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hi Sam, thanks for sharing, awesome video.
I started kitesurfing around 2 years ago but I've probably only been on the water twice since then. I'm not a beginner but I can only ride upwind, transition, little hops and toeside.
I am planning a 2 week kitesurf holiday in May to advance my riding and learn some tricks. I would like some help on deciding where to go. I will either be flying from Ibiza or Bristol if that helps.
I'm looking for somewhere on a budget, happy to stay in hostels or beach huts.
Somewhere warm in May.
Consistent wind, (10m kite wind if possible, I'm 85kg).
Easy to get to, close to the beach.
Can you recommend anywhere? I was thinking about Egypt but flights are a bit expensive. Morocco, Spain, Greece?
Cheers
Mike
Tarifa (Cádiz, Spain) is cheaper than Ibiza and better to do kitesurf in my opinion. The waters aren't usually as cristal clear, but the wind is pretty consistent.
I was almost sure I will find Egypt on that list!
Corpus Christi, Texas. The windiest spot in the continental United States! We have flat water, bays, and surf year around. Wetsuit in the winter, 86 degree water in the summer.
Have you been to the canary islands? I heard there are great spots as well
Wondering if you have kited off of Watamu Kenya, or in New Caledonia? If so, curious to know where they would rank.
Fuerteventura is a pretty good spot as well! And Tarifa!
Great vídeo! You guys are always welcome to enjoy the winds here! Cheers!
Hi. Thanks for sharing your recommendations. How about Costa Rica?
Awesome video! When you hit 10k subs are you going to do a membership like Nico Prien? The feedback on member riding/jumping etc videos would be really cool.
Cuesta del Viento San Juan Argentina. That Place has wind all the days, the bad parte is that there is not much to do. but every they you have wind from 20 up to 40 knots
Wish I could visit all these places right now
nice list!
Check out Ikarus Kite on Isla Blanca, Cancun, Mexico, and South Padre Island, Texas, USA.... South Padre Island has a very long season, warm weather and water, flat or waves, cheap lodging, food, etc.
Hood River! Lived there for 25 years.
