KITESURFING
We have spent years riding and exploring different kitesurf spots around Lamu Island. Our favourite kitesurfing locations are walking distance from The Cabanas and Pepo Villa. It is a beautiful and tranquil beach with no intimidating water traffic to deal with, which means you can truly focus on the task at hand.
We pride ourselves on being a bespoke Kitesurf School, with a culture that favours quality over quantity and appreciates that ‘it's all in the experience’.
During the Kuzi trade wind months (June - August) we kitesurf right outside the Kite School at The Cabanas, pre-breakfast rides to full moon sessions. During the Kaskazi trade wind months (Dec to March) we kite in the afternoons at our open ocean playground.
