Learn Kitesurfing in Zanzibar

The first steps of steering a kite, feeling its power, lead by the kite dragging you through the water. You immedialty feel: This sport is something else! And suddenly, you stand up on the board and experience this feeling of freedom when you finally glide over the glittering water surface. Beneath you the turquoise sea, slowly increasing the speed, adrenaline automatically rises and the wind carries you forward.

B4 Kitesurfing life was different, but today it is full of joy!

Private Lessons for Advanced

If kitesurfing is not enough, we give you three words: Surfboard, Hydrofoiling and Wingfoil. Start playing with the waves by using a surfboard, gliding over the water with a foilboard or trying to wing! The Surfboard is definitely a challenge, since you don’t have any board straps plus you have to turn the board for every transition. In case there is light wind, take the Hydrofoil. It makes you float above the water surface where you have the soft and smooth feeling of flying. It is very technical since you have no straps and only one direction to ride. Winging is a totally different story. Your balance will get tested to its maximum. Feel the freedom without all the gear attached to you. Hold the wings with your bare hand and feel free!
