One of the most beautiful kite spots on the planet.
Two weeks of kitesurfing, party, chilling and delicious food.

The Spot
We will be in Diani Galu Beach.
Diani Beach is a stunning kiteboarding spot that offers smooth thermal winds is good for every kite level, and is great for progression and learning.
Sandy white beaches and tropical-coloured waters (no wetsuit required).
Smooth winds for 12+ sqm and at certain times smaller kites. More on the Kite Spot at Diani Galu Beach here.
A great location for Kitesurfing, Foiling & Winging.
Coaching lessons and rentals are available.
The Group
Since the first Kite Trip in 2018 nearly 100 kitesurfers from the NYC Kiteboarding & London Kitesurfers Association have joined.
Solo travellers, non-kiters, friends, partners, absolute beginners, and a good mix of male and female kiters.
We had great kitesurfing, amazing wind, great downwinders, beautiful game safaris, and a lot of tasty food prepared by the resident chef.
See all the pictures here.
